I've refused to talk about this war for certain reasons, but there is something I have noticed which a lot of people have taken to be normal in this war which is:

It looks like most people(especially Iranian supporters) have taken it to be normal for Iran to attack civilians and civilian facilities of other countries while it is an atrocity for other countries to the same to it.


For instance, this is UAE, over 140 civilians were injured, no one says anything, the Iranian supporters will come here to cheer it as victory with justification, where these people in any military facility ? No!

Now reverse the same scenario for Iran and watch most people scream of injustice especially Iranian supporters.

I've refused to involve my discussion in this war but this is getting very obvious.
The issue don't attack if you don't want to be attacked.
Civilian or military, US used it's proxy to bomb Iran and Iran was the first to lose civilians.
If you don't want your civilians hurt why bomb a country with known aggressive reaction

And I'm not justifying it either, but why are you people justifying attacks on civilians in other countries by Iran?

So, what exactly is Iran's offence here?
USA support terror groups, US overthrow leaders, US invade countries. Which country has Iran invaded? US attacked Iran.
What is the offence of the Jewish state, that made Iran to arm it's neighbors to attack it, every day and night, using the likes of Hezbollah, Hamas, Houtis, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and those in Iraqhuhhuh
Tell me which country that chants death to the other country even in their parliament, is that the country you want to have nuclear weaponhuh? Just take a look at the ongoing airstrike by the USA and Israel, Iran turned around and start attacking those that have no problem with Iran. It's that the kind of country you want to have nûclear weapon! A country sponsoring global Jihádist against the people they tag "INFIDEL"

You see, there is something I want you to understand and that is:

I'm not really here to exonerate any side of doing wrong at different points in time, but there is something I am against and that is the ideology behind their actions, for instance:

It is now very normal and convenient for Muslims to say deat to America, deat to Israel, some even do it in other western countries as immigrants in those countries, does that sound normal to you?

The major problem I have with the Iranian government and their supporters like you is:

Most of you apply irrational thinking when taking decisions,

for example, America is fighting war with Iran and boom, one of you start attacking Americans in other countries even inside America .

That is irrational thinking, it is the same thing terrorists do, the same thing Islamic fanatics do, and there are people like you justifying it...

How are you different from Boko haram?

That is how Iran is fighting the war and you people are justifying it.

That's why also hate it when countries are banned from sports or international competitions just because the country is at war, like what they did to Russia, that is irrational thinking to me.

Why punish the players who have worked hard and have no say about the war their country is fighting?

Sports is supposed to be a platform for, love, peace and unity but some people see it normal to drag politics into it, no country in the world should be be banned because of war or political issues except on violation based on sports rules, then you see some Islamic countries rejecting playing with Israel. If I were in charge of such competitions, they will banned for years, you people should learn to separate, politics, war from other aspects..

The world is largely where it is today because of irrational thinking

You have assumed too much because I do not like the Iranian Government, I consider it oppressive and extremist and I particularly despise its practice of gender apartheid.

I am simply able to see clearly the unspeakable hypocrisy and far greater oppressiveness and exploitation of Israel and the USA.

Then focus your attention solely on fighting their governments, leave civilians out of it, that is my point or simply blame both sides equally if civilians are attacked at any point in time, because the I can clearly see bias on that side...

Please let's stick to the issue I raised and it is about the Iranian war not Palestine, secondly, you are mixing attacks on military with that of civilians...
Ooooh! attack on military you say? i see!

The Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School of the Shahrak-e Al-Mahdi neighbourhood in Minab, Hormozgan province in southern Iran was destroyed by a double tap missile strike that resulted in the of 165 kids on the 28 February 2026, the first day of the 2026 Iran war,

Pray tell was, the shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School a military infrastructure?

Israel also attack them. They are both attacking one another. Why should Israel have nuclear and Iran cant?
Both are enemies, best for both not to have nuclear.

Ibo are not Jews. You even don't know who you are. Ibo is the name your ancestors bore, Igbo is the name the colonials gave you. Do a Google search. Ibos are not Jews but came to dwell in where is Iboland some 4,500 years ago. No body can really say where anyone is from because that is an extremely long time ago, they do not know where Egyptians came from also but we do know ibos settled in Iboland some 4,500 years ago. Igbo customes and traditions are very similar to those of Jews which is very true. But customs and traditions around the world are very similar we all great each other good morning and good night Globally.

From my personal interaction with Ibo people they are a wonderful people. But linking Ibo to Jews there is no Anthropological or archeological evidence to support it. Even DNA testing places ibo and areas above the Niger closer.

And if ibo were Jews they would practice Judaism and not Christianity. The Jews in the middle east rejected Christianity be because they already have Judaism.

It's not a matter of support for anything in particular beyond self defense. A country must and will naturally stand up to defend itself when attacked unprovoked and in the middle of negotiations by two nuclear powers. What did you expect them to do? Bow down and give up?
Re: Nigerians Among Over 140 Injured After Missile Strike On UAE by Guest14(m): 9:37am On Mar 17
UAE will always say this happened as a result of debris from a "successful interception."

So why attack IRGC who targets military bases and send notices before attacks.

Years ago they told Americans they will attack their base in Iraq when they killed Soleimani. Last June they told the Americans they will attack the base in Qatar.

Trump admitted that the Iranians told them to pack out. The aim is not civilian but military hardware.

But also i would like to add that the notion that Iran practice gender apartheid is false and western media propaganda as it relates to any islamic country they want to destabilized.

The Western and the Zionist Media will have you believe that women are repressed in Iran while a Canadian feminist smoking a stick of cancer is free.

1. Female Literacy rate in Iran is 99.3%
2.Maternal mortality in Iran is 16% (ref: US=19%)
3.There are 16,111 sports clubs for women & 3,302 medals won by female athletes (internationally)
4.60% of university graduates in Iran are women.
5.1,121 Iranian female judges are active
6.59.5% participation rate of women in parliament
7.Women can hold almost any post in Iran except IndecentStar or onlyfans content creator. Who runs those?

I hear you,and I am aware of all these, but I still don't like much of the force applied to, for example, forcing women to dress a particular way. You may know that there have been mass protests about it in the past and the regime clamped down killing many.

Also in places like Saudi Arabia it's only recently that women have been allowed to drive and they are still denied many basic rights.

not all who supports Iran, but on rational thoughts about all that has been going on. the gulf countries (being Iranian neighbors) has no business getting themselves involved with the opposition. Their neutrality would have been much better off. All that the Iranians are doing is outa anger and not a military face off between their neighbors. . Do they do same with Israel?

I'm not saying they cannot attack those countries but they should restrict the attacks to the military and their facilities, also their supporters should blame them equally if they attack civilian facilities like they blame Israel and U.S

In the battle between against Iran by the US and the Zionist State of israel, there's no way in hell i will blame Iran equally with US because Iran is not the Aggressor...thinking back to the 1953 cia coup in Iran
