Bro what are you saying? No way you're saying this, Iran can be turned to Gaza within few months, look is not about how crazy you're, is about how much control you have on air, US have got crazy Aircraft to do the damn job they can bomb the hell out of Iran within one month and take over the location you're talking about, they don't just want to be demons to the ordinary citizens
I didn’t say USA can’t attack Iran..

I simply said it will be hard for USA to make that decision..

What Iran has isn't enough to defend herself bro
All you need to defend yourself are determined and able men, ready to die defending the country. Afghanistan and Vietnam has proved that bombs, missiles and guns do not win wars, determined men do.

So the world should keep quiet and allow Iran build nuclear weapons? People wey no get restraints. Extremists that are ready to light the world and everything in it.
Smh.

I can see that you have allowed yourself to be brainwashed because of your embarrassing level of ignorance .

Since North Korea had nuclear missiles, how many countries have they blown? Since they lied on Sadam Hussein to pillage his country, how many weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq.

Don't be a suegbe for ever o

There are reasons why the US is very hesitant to deploy troops on ground in Iran. Iran is twice the size of Afghanistan and 4 times the size of Iraq. Unlike Iraq that has a rather flat landscape, Iran has countless mountains and valleys that serve as strategic defensive positions. US troops invading in such a terrain, will be facing the most difficult landscape since Vietnam.

Iran has the global economy by the balls due to its ability to shut down the strait of Hormuz. This season passageway is where over 30% of global shipping passes through. Iran can mine the entire strait overnight rendering it impassable to ships for a long time. The price of oil will shoot up massively and global economies will be even under more pressure than normal.

All Saudi and Qatari oil fields are within the reach of Iranian missiles and drones. If Arabia and Qatar permit the US to launch attacks on Iran from bases within these countries, Iran is going to light up their oil fields like Christmas trees. This reason alone is why Qatar and Saudi Arabia are strongly pressuring the US to stand down and back off any attacks.
I like the way you terr.orists are hyping Iran. Even Saddam Hussein with his million man army thought he was a match to American firepower. The rest as they say is now history.

Thank God you guys didn't hype Tinubu and the Nigerian military using your 'sovereignity' mantra. E for choke una for throat.

North Korea is not a Muslim country. Sane humans know why you and your type are supporting Iran.

Reference:
See Nigerians fighting each other about what is happening in the Gulf.

Right here in our country two massacres within 72 hours involving several dozen lives and that doesn't bother them.

In any civilians society the country will have shut down with no one talking about anything else, with the government scrambling to answer questions from an outraged citizenry, but....just another day in the lives of a hapless people.

It is a tanker or tankers that is our bother.
Failed citizens.
For a moment I thought I read "72 virgins" What do you expect when there's no government in Nigeria?

Notice how they cleverly did not mention the name of the country they all fear, they said "western oil carriers"

😂 Who born you well to near Uncle Sam oil ship.


A simple Google search would have saved you this embarrassment.

Iran has seized US oil tankers several times in the past. Even captured US Marines in 2016.
Re: Iran Seizes 2 Western Oil Tankers & Detains 15 Foreign Crew Members (Photos) by hotseat: 4:10pm On Feb 05
Iran is trying to prove to DT that it won't go down without a fight.

How he responds would determine how fast the war would begin.

Now or never!

This is an open challenge to the King himself!

You just woke up or playing mischief?

This is Iran fighting back and it will use what it has to defend itself. Those vessels are loaded with fuel to power Iran’s enemies' fighter jets and Iran is not stupid.

Iran is monitoring their moves with hand on the trigger. Iran forced the US carrier warships to retreat while sending drone over US warships to monitor their moves real-time.

If Trump doesn't want war, he has time to do so. His war in Iran will not bring back the western spies Iran held and eliminated during the sponsored terrorist attack on Iran.
he said I hope you will not come here tomorrow to shout genocide ?

I don't believe in flexing weak muscles, Hamas and Hezbollah were flexing muscles up and down until the Great IDF unleashed disaster on Gaza and subsequently unleashed terror on Lebanon.

You and your lots were shouting Genocide up and down. I hope it doesn't get to that level with Iran, because I discovered that the great people of Iran are not the problem, the problem are the Ayotallahs and Khemani.

But I hope you won't be the first to shout genocide?

Exactly how you guys whined Hamas to loose 60,000
Exactly how you whined Iran to lose 90 generals in 12 days.

Oga, leave me with my co ward.
All your heroes are now martyrs.
grin grin grin
Is not 150 Generals Iran lost in the 12 days war again?
You have switched to 90 Generals?
Increase it more , nobody is fooled except your kind

USA did more to Iran when they supported Iraq to invade their country which lasted from 1980 to 1988 what happened after?

Attack a country who are not afraid of dying let's see which people will blink first

A country sanctioned since 1979 has nothing to fear , yet they still waxing strong

Cry for the citizens of your country they need your empathy more
There's an attack in Kwara state that killed many people but you kept mute because you ain't brave like the Iran nation is to confront them

You're speaking from both sides of the mouth out of ignorance.

This is not the first time that USA will face Iran directly. It has happened before and it was a huge humiliation coupled with death and destruction of US forces. That defeat cost a sitting US President his Presidency yet the Americans captured spent 442 days in Iran captivity. They were released to Ronald Reagan.

It will be an asymmetric war and US will lose. People will die on both sides and that is what reasonable people are trying to avert. Every life is important.

It is US that wants to impose war on the world out of hubris and save face after Iran annihilated the spies sponsored by the US to force a change in government.

Their weakness is not the weak economy, afterall they have been under US and UN sanctions for decades, and the economy did not collapse. It the fractionalisation of the country - between the Islamist fundamentalists and moderates, between the government and its people. Iran is a house divided among itself. A United Iran would be very difficult to defeat.
It was always their choice. Why is Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar not under UN sanctions. Their economy was never great in the first place despite their great abundance in resources. I really don't know why some people hype them

I pray the war finally comes this time.

Don't shout genocide!

This is the last time I will reply you, because you lack the basic I.Q to know that in modern warfare, and militarily Iran can not stand the superior war technology, weapons and machines of total destruction of the United States of America.

How can you be enlightened when you don't know this basic fact? If you think that Iran will defeat America in any war then (yur case pas dum-baby own ooh)

Yes US is more superior when it comes to advanced welfare or weapons but Iran isn't small too and they are ready for anything, IRAN might get hit very hard also US won't escape too, all military bases will be destroyed and streigh of hormuz blocked which will affect the world.
