Same US that are begging other countries to help them through the Strait of Hormuz? or the US that asked Americans to run away from Iraq:? You are playing too much.

If the US MILITARY is so powerful, why can’t they make a decisive military operation at the strait so ships can move through? They are begging Uk and allies to send help and none of them is willing to budge. The same US that announced that she has decimated the naval capabilities of the Iranian NAVY. US is winning the war truly in propaganda. 😆😆. They are truly playing too much.

Moved to where?

Please dont embarrass yourself.

The facility at krang Island is the ONLY and major oil export terminal for iran. Do you know it was built by America?

Whether oil is there or NOT, America has BLOCKED their major source of income.

adabaraabdul:
Krang island oil was removed a month before the war. Do your findings.

UAE is Israel's coded ally - UAE was a major player in the destruction of Libya, they are also a great participant in that of Yemen. They are also involved in Sudan as we speak. They seek gold, power and control while protecting their businesses. they have tried to penetrate Nigeria many times - they help launder money for the sponsors of Boko Haram. It is also the hide-out of all the world evil perpetrators - they only arrest who does not belong to the clique who steps on any member of the clique.

"...barely have any Iranian military bases", who are the 5k soldiers sent by trump going to fight?
Why is trump begging other countries to come to his rescue?

Y'all keep deceiving yourselves and try to pretend to not know the true because of shame.

Turning statements upside down to suit your ugly lame narratives.

[b]Where did you see Trump begging other countries to come to his rescue

Show me where it is written.

Look, America and Israel won the war when they eliminated the overall Supleme leather Ayatollah.

Besides, they are looking at civilian population in Iranian cities and communities. That's what they're avoiding.

Iran is just holding unto the Strait Of Hormuz as the last kick of a dying HORSE.

Una just de happy, de jubilate for nothing sake

You need me to educate you? Anyway, Krang Island is now an American outpost, as all offensive weapons of iran are completely grounded.

The absolute total obliteration will involve your petroleum products export terminal on that island. We will hold it as economic strangulation is entering phase2.

As regards, boots on ground. you will run away from nairaland when it starts.

I hope u will volunteer to be part of d boots on ground??

I know about everything about the war. UAE should not be attacked because they have said they don't want to be involved in the war. They clearly told the US they don't want to be used or involved.

So why is Iran targeting UAE besides cos they are terrorists?

Why did UAE allowed USA to use there base to bomb Iran…?

Go and tell that to the people fleeing Dubai and other Middle Eastern countries. The US and its Arab allies are losing the Economic aspect of the war, even as they are scrambling to keep up with Iran on the military aspect. Meanwhile, they have totally lost the war in the court of US and International public opinion.

But keep on supporting Trump, and He will continue to make a fool of you.

Most people have been deceived to believe that Shiite Iran is the problem, not knowing that it's Sunni Saudi, UAE etc that sponsor more than 80 percent world terrorism with the backing of the Anglo Americans.

You no dey hear this saying…. No Dey our mouth for Wetin no concern you?

Dubai put mouth for Wetin no concern them..

A small country like Iran is doing this.
But when a super power like Russia warned Ukraine not to allow NATO/EU build a military Base in their soil close to them,the comedian president refused.
Russia started pounding them,you lots called Russia aggressor.
But look at small Iran bombing their neighbors for the same reason and you guys are cheering them up.
So now they are not aggressor, right?

But you guys were the ones that abused Russia and called them unprintable names for teaching stubborn Ukraine a little lesson for allowing their enemies (NATO) to expand to their country.
You people were busy asking irrelevant questions whether Ukraine is no longer a sovereign nation?
If they don't have the right to belong to any association they live?
If they don't have the right to form military alliance with any country they like, and bla bla bla.
So,UAE is not a sovereign nation, right?
Or they don't have the right to form a military alliance with any country of their choice?
Why should Iran attack them for trying to exercise their Sovereignty and you people are cheering Iran instead condemning them as you did to Russia?
You guys are hypocrites.

Stop fooling yourself, it doesn't help nor change anything.

So tell me which credible news source said they were launched from their Arab neighbours. so you sit in Nigeria to knw more than the media. or you do not even trust your Ajazera and co Islamic media. So even Turkey too is launching an attack on Iran too abi. Stop fooling yourself, it doesn't help one bit.

Dubai Is Finished, We're Not Coming Back: Expats Say As They Flee
Expats claim they will leave Dubai and never return as they fear for their lives and see their businesses destroyed while missiles continue to rain down over the United Arab Emirates.

Once a tax-free haven attracting influencers from across the globe and thousands of Brits seeking warm weather and crime free streets, Dubai's carefully crafted image has been shattered and residents believe it is 'finished'.

The emirate, home to around 240,000 British expats including Rio and Kate Ferdinand, Luisa Zissman and Petra Ecclestone, has been targeted by constant Iranian missile and drone attacks as the regime strikes US allies in the Middle East.

Dubai has been the target of two thirds of Iran's missiles and three massive explosions rocked the city on Wednesday morning, with the international airport sustaining damage.

Four people were injured as two drones hit the terminal, while a string of major airlines cancelled all flights to the region for weeks.

Even the world famous Fairmont hotel on Palm Jumeirah was struck by Iran, while employees at western banks including Standard Chartered and Citi evacuated their offices amid threats from the Islamic Republic that they were the next targets of their bombing onslaught.

Four people have been killed so far and tens of thousands of residents and tourists have now fled in the weeks since the conflict began.

And those who remain face prosecution if they post videos of missiles overhead, despite constant phone alerts warning them to stay away from windows and seek shelter.

Dubai does not have vast oil reserves and relies on its expat population, which makes up 90 per cent of the city.

It has launched a desperate public relations campaign, telling people the 'big booms' in the sky are 'the sound of us being safe' as the UAE air defence system takes action.

But it has done little to quell fears.

'The shine has definitely been taken off,' John Trudinger, a British Dubai resident of 16 years, told The Guardian.

The headteacher employs more than 100 teachers from the UK at his Emirati school and claims most are so 'deeply traumatised and really struggling to cope' with the war that they have fled and will never return.

Taxi driver Zain Anwar saw his car destroyed in a missile attack and said his family are begging him to return home to Pakistan.

He said: 'I don’t want to be in Dubai any more, there is no business, we are earning nothing since this war, and I don’t see the tourism coming back.

'A lot of taxi drivers like me, we are thinking to go to a different country now. Everybody knows that Dubai is finished.'

Iran has continued to pound the city, sending 1,700 projectiles in two weeks, although 90 per cent have been destroyed by air defence systems.

But on Saturday, a drone was caught on video sending up a huge pall of smoke near the airport.

At least you are bold enough to call it evil, and express your love for it. Best of luck with that.
