Unbelievable. The most “powerful” country in the world is begging the world to help it fight Iran. A country with 47 years of sanctions.

Iran—-you have brought America to its knees.
What you posted doesn't correspond with your comment that America is on her knees begging. I didn't see any part of Trump's post where he begged Iran for passage through the strait of Hormuz. He was only urging other affected nations to join the US in keeping the strait safe

I just read the rants from Trump below your post and I shook my head. The same Trump is now calling on all the countries that advised him to reconsider his decision to attack Iran and he refused. Wow!

Iran will bomb Mecca, Kaaba to kill one American if given the chance.
Muslims supporting Iran are just deceiving themselves.
Their fellow Arab nations know them well

Hegseth is a drunkard. Don't expect anything serious from him.

IRAN cannot win this war. I guess this is the first time they are fighting a war on two fronts unlike Israel who does so on 7 fronts for months.

IRAN is just building experience with their over compromised army.
Seven front with all the west supporting them

Clown. After killing 175 of their schoolgirls. Make them shoot down every ship going there. Idiot.
But why do they like to build girls schools inside armory?
The same tactics of using civilians as first line of shields
Re: The Only Thing Prohibiting Transit In Hormuz Is Iran Shooting At Ships - Hegseth by pansophist(m):
Iran should have developed missles that are capable of reaching the US mainland, because it is only when the theatre of war includes the US mainland, they will refrain from creating conflicts far away from home.

Countries like North Korea, Russia, and China all have missles that can strike the US mainland, and the US avoids these countries like plague. Propping proxies to do their dirty fighting (eg Ukraine and Taiwan) without direct engagement.

This is why I laugh at western zombies when they propagandised Russia’s restraint in Ukraine as weakness. When in reality, Russia knows Ukraine is just a puppet. The real puppeteers are NATO countries, and you will fight without gloves with those ones, not Ukraine.

Few years ago, French president wanted to send French soldiers to engage with Russia in Ukraine. I was so happy and waiting for a big show, but Macaroni chickened out. Later they came up with something called “coalition of the willing”, and I was happy again, then they chickened out again.

Then they said they will send peacekeepers to Ukraine, I was happy for the third time, then they chickened out and said that they need permission from Putin, or they will send the peacekeepers when the war is over.

Then I heard that they will send long range missles to Ukraine, so they can strike deep inside Russia. Then Putin made it clear that such act will involves Russia striking directly at Berlin, Paris, London and Washington, then they chickened out.

But somehow, western zombies thinks NATO has teeth. The US has always being a paper tiger. With their massive military budget that is mostly embezzled, they can’t beat ordinary Iran, but someone wants to fight China.

Israel haven't fought war with a strong country before, the only strong country in MiddleEast is Iran and Iran has been on sanctions for decades.

Pete Hegseth should send the US war ships there to clear the strait of hormuz grin Donald Trump claimed Iran don't have Navy, Airforce or Army, so I will say the news about Iran blocking the Hormuz is a lie grin
Once they send it there and and the death toll multiplies, you guys start shouting genocide.
By the time boots are deployed on the ground and millions of terrorists are sent back to Allah, you guys will shout genocide

Dem(america & isreal) take out their(iran) key leaders within days, and still demolishing defences that took them decades to build. You call that gra gra, huh!

Well, if this people wan really level Iran e dey their power but dem no wan do am. Na power with restraint be that. Can we say that of Iran that is shoot missiles at his own neighbours?
Whatever makes you sleep. They are fighting with restraint yet killed 170 school students coupled with all the atrocities they committed in Gaza? grin

And whatever losses you think Iran has suffered, is US has suffered the equivalence. They lost their personnel, lost their bases across the gulf, lost their prestige, and are committing billions of dollars to the war. So what are they winning exactly?

When has Isreal fought a war on 7 fronts ? Liar. We are not talking about aerial bombardment, we are talking about boots on the ground, when has Isreal done that on 7 fronts, you are a complete professional liar.

😅 You people will keep writing stuff like this till Iran disappears. Hagseth was trying to justify wiping Iran off. A country with absolutely no defence against anything US wants to do to it - it's entirely up to US. What sort of a "war" is this?

See the circled below. US has done just that. What has Iran done??

Iran is not planning to win the war with US but to make the the cost of US winning the very expensive such that the America along with American allies' economy will think twice before attempting such a foolish thing in future.

sl∆ves of terrorists, where are their supreme leaders, new and old?

If your tiny hateful mind tells you that America and Isreal are done with Iran, won't you at least use your empty head.

The next phase will be EXCESSIVE FORCE. Iran won't even know what will be hitting them.

Have you heard from Isreal for some days now?

Trump is a mad man. I never thought a day would come when I'll support Iran but here we are. After posturing, the so called almighty US military has been demystified by Iran and everyone is closely watching. Iran will pound Isreal and US ships harder than pounded yam. USA lost this war right from day one.
Re: The Only Thing Prohibiting Transit In Hormuz Is Iran Shooting At Ships - Hegseth by xmasgift: 6:22pm On Mar 14
Exactly, they never claimed to have the military might of the US. NEVER! They're just infuriated that they were attacked unprovoked, while negotiations were ongoing. Who wouldnt feel frustrated by that? They're not cowards. They wouldn't back down without a fight.

grin 170 huh!

I bin dey expect you to say dem don kill 200,000. Why is it called war?

Do you think that in war the innocent would survive and the guilty will be exterminated ?

Always the innocent that dies first. I am not celebrating the killing of children, but let us not forget the systemic killing that is on going in nigeria which should be our major concern. Iran and isreal war long foretold before now.

Peace will continue to be illusive to this world, and things will not get better too. until the return of the jesus.
