Two countries are fighting one country, and that one country is still hitting US bases in other countries.

I was shocked you could even mention nuclear materials. The US was the only nation to have ever used it in the world and since then they have been talking with Russia that they should both reduce their stockpiles - thats what you were here encouraging.

Iran is really a strong nation, confronting both US and Israel full military might and still lasting this long.
Once again, some of you hear need to focus on football matches and not issues like this. Listening and learning helps a lot.

When you talk about the strength of a nation, you do not look at just the military. You look at other factors that determine the claim of the country, either as a world power or regional power. While Iran can term itself as a regional military power, can the leaders say the same about the economy?

That Iran is able to retaliate actions, shows that they have a stockpile of military weapons to keep them going for some time. Ask yourself what will happen to the economy of Iran is the war ends today. Can the economy carry the weight of after war rebuilding, especially now that their economy is in a horrible shape? Rather than make their country beautiful and livable like fellow Arab nations, they choose to build war equipments. What will happen if the other Arab nations choose to bomb them in return?

Why are you shocked at the mention of nuclear materials? Are they built for decoration or fancy? Are they toys for children to play with? When you fight a nuclear armed nation, you must be very careful. An error can lead to your annihilation. If Russia feels any threat to its existence, Ukraine will be wiped off the face of the earth in one day. The same happened when the Americans were attacked by Japan at the Pearl Harbor. You can ask the Iranians to attempt bombing the USA in their country. There’s a sitting President, who you lots call a tyrant. He will not hesitate to apply nuclear weapons against the Iranians. Infact, ask the Iranians to go beyond their boundaries and see.

“Two countries are fighting one country”, according to you. That’s the choice of the Iranians. They have something to prove with their “death to the west” and “death to “Israel”, that’s why they take on the two nuclear possessing countries at the same time. They want to prove that they are militarily strong. Let them continue. We say enough of their export of terrorism to the rest of the world.

How much for a fighter jet?
The F-15E Strike Eagle had a unit cost of approximately $31.1 million in 1998 dollars, or about $40-$50 million adjusted for inflation. However, the modern, upgraded version, the F-15EX Eagle II, costs roughly $90–$97 million per aircraft as of 2023–2024, with total costs potentially exceeding $117 million when including advanced electronic warfare systems.

You are the one that need the education Sir!

Iran fought a bitter battle with Iraq from 1980-1988. On the side of the Iraqis were the following countries:

1. USA
2. Israel (they provided Intels)
3. Saudi Arabia
4. Kuwait
5. Egypt
6. United Kingdom
7. Germany
8. France
9. Oman
10. Qatar
11. Jordan


And standing alone were the Iranians! It lasted for 8 years and they stood undefeated.

I am sure, there Economy was able to rebuild despite the stringent and biting Sanctions of the Americans and Europe. They are still here.

My pikin, stop forming “I too know” please. I am certain that you were not born between 1980 and 1988, when the war raged and do not have the faintest idea about the causes of the Iran - Iraq war that you rushed to talk about, the consequences and results. You were born around the early 2000s.

Maybe you are not aware Israel, yes, the same Israel that you castigate, was one of the main supporters of Iran and as a matter of fact, a major supplier of military hardware to Iran, to enable your Iran prosecute that Iran-Iraqi war. Maybe you are not aware that Iraq under Saddam Hussein tried to build a nuclear reactor and the same Israel vehemently opposed it. The Iranians provided intelligence used by Israel to destroy that nuclear reactor and stop Iraq from being a nuclear armed country.

Your Iranians did not stand alone during the war. They stood with the Israelis on their side. The magic touch of the Israelis rescued your mullahs, as they were militarily weaker than Iraq at the beginning of the war. Having contributed to the destruction of the Iraqi nuclear reactor, the same mullahs now claim that it is their right to own nuclear arms. The same Ayatollah Ali Khamenei teamed up with his predecessor Ayatollah Khomenei to sto the ambition of the Iraqis.

What goes around, comes around. Now my son, who needs education in between you and I?

Methuselah, the Israelis we castigated now provided intels to Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iran War of 1980-1988.

Methuselah, forming I too know of something he doesn't know, it was not the Mullah that destroyed Saddam Heavy Water Nuclear Reactor, but the same Israelis that sneaked behind and destroy it during the Gulf War when Bush Senior was US President.

And no Methuselah the Revionists, the Mullahs stood alone while the Americans, UK, France, NATO provided the Arms and Hardware while the Gulf stooges led by Saudi Arabia provided the financial muscles that oiled Saddam's Iraqi Army.

Lol

Are you for real? The Mullah destroyed which nuclear reactor? Do you think Nairaland is your Sunday school yard where you drop Lambas? 🤔

Olodo, like you forming knowledge, Google and Wikipedia, is for you to learn from who destroyed Iraqi Reactor.

Imagine the brazen lie that it was Iran that destroyed Iraq's Nuclear Reactor?

Bold face Methuselahean lamba.

June 7, 1981, the Israeli Air Force executed Operation Opera (or Operation Babylon), a surprise airstrike that destroyed the nearly completed Osirak nuclear reactor near Baghdad, Iraq. F-16 and F-15 jets destroyed the facility to prevent Iraq from developing nuclear weapons, establishing the "Begin Doctrine" of pre-emptive strikes.

Key Aspects of the Operation:
Target: The Tuwaitha Nuclear Research Center, 17 km southeast of Baghdad.
Context: Israel believed the reactor, built with French assistance, was designed to produce weapons-grade plutonium.
Execution: A surprise attack conducted on a Sunday to minimize casualties among foreign scientists.
Outcome: The reactor was destroyed, with one French civilian and 10 Iraqi soldiers killed.
International Response: The UN Security Council condemned the attack, and the U.S. temporarily suspended aircraft deliveries.

The strike was highly controversial but, according to some assessments, it effectively delayed Iraq's nuclear capabilities.

Ah, so you needed to copy and paste here. Ah, so you were not even born around that period? Sorry young man, I specially studied the subject matter over uncountable years and I am well versed in the matter. Coping and pasting does not help your lack of knowledge. If I did not bring up the matter, how could you have quickly begged Google to help you with some information?
