INJESUSNAME:Wow! Who muted Houthis? The same guys that had their southern port, Eliat officially bankrupt due to the Houthis blockade? You must be making a mistake, the Houthi blockade was so devastating that ships heading to israel had to encircle Africa than pass the shortest and cheapest route. The Houthis are highly asymmetric in strategy, their fire missiles from heavily fortified positions and theres nothing an F35 can do about it. I wont argue much with you but its clear Google AI is more intelligent than some folks

Mirasteel:Oga so you are saying that all the leader of Iran needed to do to bring his people from poverty is to become friends with the US but he refused? That makes him the most foolish leader since creation. This makes him worst than a suicide bomber. Imagine if all Tinubu needs to do to make us rich is to be friends with trump and he refuses, even children unborn shouldn't forgive him |

INJESUSNAME:Your ignorance is baffling but much more bewildering is your determination to remain ignorant. Well nobody forced them to stop. They stopped because their main reason for the blockade was to pressure Israel to ceasefire on Gaza. Once the ceasefire was achieved, there was no more reason to continue the blockade. Its just like saying that the reason the US lifted sanctions on Venezuela was because Venezuela showed them pepper. Whereas it is because their mission have been accomplished. The Houthi blockade was an outstanding military success of the 21st century proving that an asymmetrical group could impose an access denial in a vital global chokepoint. What do you think stopped them? A series of raids on Hodeidah? Even if Hodeidah is occupied the blockade would continue because their military assets are spread across a tunnel network dug into mountains. That's the truth. Saudi Arabia had to leave those guys alone because of their resilience, imagine Saudis backed by the US could not defeat them and its Israel located 2000km away that would be able to do so. The moment the ceasefire in Gaza collapses, the Houthis would seal of the Bab Al-Mandar Strait and blockade Israel again. Now a question for you, the US intervened the protect Israel from the attacks and end the blockade, why did the US pull out of the war without ending the blockade? |

Mrchippychappy:Be glorifying your slave—masters. I know for sure they don’t have monopoly to madness. You can lick their arsses for all you want coward, but Iran wont and this id where they are different. Should USA invade Iran it will be worse than Afghanistan where the USA spent close to 20 years and achieved nothing! Omo the US don cast abeg make una dey try reason with brain |

Dpaulie:The 12 days war? Give iran just a month one on one with Isreal without Uncle Sam interfering lets check something.. if them no level those people of god in few days.. Of course the USA can just level Iran maybe with fighter jets but Iran wont back down easily. But Isreal going head-on with Iran 1 on 1 would be disaster they will never forget easily. Isreal sef sabi this thing na why dem dey pressure Trump to do something, shey dem don release part of the Epstein file to get him to do their bids.. my own be say make iran no even border attack any country else except Isreal. Once usa attacks, just turn your rocket to their direction and rain em some lovelies |

Mrchippychappy:That was years of penetration and spying and Iran dearly paid for their own lapses. But they quickly bounced back to the surprise of Netanyahu. Israel had used that leverage and it will now be operating at same level with Iran. |

Who be this one when dey pour spit on top me... 👇🏼 Is what Google has to say American officials said the strikes were intended to degrade Houthi capabilities to attack Red Sea targets rather than to kill leaders and Iranian trainers. By 2 January 2025, the Houthis recorded 931 American and British airstrikes against its sites in Yemen, resulting in 106 deaths and 314 injuries .On January 14, 2024, the Houthis fired an anti- ship cruise missile at the USS Laboon in the Red Sea, the first confirmed attack on a U.S. warship since American-led strikes against Houthi targets began earlier that month. The missile was shot down by a U. S. fighter jet, and no damage or injuries were reported. My question to you is this, since the houthis have been bumbed to smithereens how many attacks have they dared to launch. They shot at a US Navy ship and that was their end they sunk 3 ports of oil storage and they ran to Washington to promise not to try that rubbish again 😞 since then they've been quiet. Who you wan deceive for here? Oga go and get knowledge before you start yapping gibberlink here. Fortunatefortun: |

ViceGovernor:I was thinking a bulk of you were ignorant but now it seems you guys at being paid by US intelligence agencies to disseminate misinformation because I see no other reason why someone will be defending ignorance with doggedness. You pick two random events and you draw up a faulty deduction. Thats fallacy of false cause! I wore a green shirt today. I had an accident. So its the green shirt thats responsible for the accident. How true is given deduction? Just as true as your assertion above. Let me ask you a few questions: 1. Did the Houthis suddenly go mute or did the US abandon her no negotiation stance and negotiate with them? 2. Under the negotiation, was the United States able to security free shipping for Israel which was her aim of entering the war? 3. Are you aware that in Houthi ideology, death is martyrdom and is the best thing that can happen to a fights? 4. Are you aware the Houthis tookmore casualties in the war with US backed Saudi Arabia In conclusion we all know that wars are not won by inflicting casualties but rather achievement of Strategic objectives, otherwise we can body declare the Nazis the winners of the battle of normandy since they inflicted 2× more casualties on allied forces during the D-Day landing. The Houthis were able to deny Israeli shipping access to the Bab Al-mandar strait, bankrupting the port of Eliat and even held up the blockade till the ceasefire was signed. This a fact! |

Mrchippychappy:Go back to the under the rock you crawled out from because you did not see Iranian missiles nearly obliterated Israel in the last 12 day war that Netanyahu had to start begging for ceasefire on the fourth day and Iran rejected. Netanyahu had to beg two more times until Iran accepted the ceasefire on the 12th day. |

All these ones you are typing is gibberlink....the fact remains the fact, the Houthis were soundly and thoroughly blown to smithereens and they've gone silent ever since Israel buried the entire Hodeida port where they store their oil and launch their boats from.....of course every once in a while they hijack small fishing boats but they never dare to go close to an Israeli or American ship why do you think that is? 🤔 To answer your questions_ 1__the houthis have gone mute because of one reason which is the continued destruction of their facilities, storage and logistics supply chain as retribution for their attacks on ships. 2__As of now, there is no specific recent report of an attack on an Israeli ship currently in the Red Sea....so the aim of securing Israeli ships and ships from other nations have been achieved successfully. 3__Their ideology is akin to suicide and if they keep it up in no time they will go extinct from this planet. Oh you definitely 😁 know America has enough explosives to go round for every single one of them. 4__What war is it you are talking about? Houthis at war with US of A? Don't make us laff this morning please 😂 😂 😂 😂 There is no such thing, what we all saw was a group of recalcitrant school boys who were thoroughly whipped back to their senses by the principal. When you talk about war, don't mention cowards who are shooting projectiles that drop into the Sea, cowards who hijack fishing boats in the dead of the night but won't dare go close to a Guided Missile Destroyer (GMD) which they are aware of its location in the Red Sea. You mentioned casualty figures being higher on one side? Information available would show you that the aim of the West was the elimination of logistics and oil storage facilities in order to drastically reduce the ability of houthis to launch attacks on ships, not the senseless waste of civilian lives..........the last time I checked it was an absolute success. They don't even have fuel for their dinghy boats anymore. America can very well decide to halve their population and nothing will happen aside from the usual noise from your ilks but they are God fearing they only go after the guilty. Fortunatefortun: |

Privatepart00:No, I made a mistake. It is not 90 Iranian generals; it is 150 Israeli generals (I hope this makes you happy). ![]() Somehow, you are quick to defend Iran, and not to talk about your country, but want me to not talk about Iran, and talk about my country. ![]() "Who are not afraid of dying..." ![]() Indeed. That is why their religious and political leaders run into tunnels. Tunnels that can even save them from Israelis bunker bursters. "A country sanctioned since 1979..." ![]() They are sanctioned, and they don't care simply because progress and growth are never a concern for jeehardeest. In fact, their ideology idolizes the retrogression of human society, relegating it to practices 1400 years back. Countries that are concerned with growth and progress know very well the importance of transnational trade, and they protect it at all costs. Syria, Jordan, and Gaza are very close to Israel, but Israel has grown economically to become a superpower, while the others are not even regarded as third-world but fourth-world countries simply because of jeehardeests. Pakistan and Afghanistan are bordered by India, yet India has one of the world's top 5 economies, and Pakistan is only concerned with the development of destructive weapons, which they still can't do as well as India, which is growing economically too. Meaning, even if you remove the sanctions, nothing will be different with Iran, because growth and greatness is not their concern, but Chrisstians and Jewss are their only concern. |
