Iran is definitely a terrorist nation. Imagine attacking your Muslim neighbours because of Israel and America. Shameless cowards.
If they had that Nuclear warhead, they would have used it.

1. The US came down to blow up their nuclear facility
2. They blew their supreme leader into pieces
3. They crippled the new supreme leader
4. They killed so many generals and their families.

Mainwhile, god1000 madridguy beey and others are hailing them. grin

Iran go soon collect wotowoto from other Arab nations.

Iran no get anything called intelligence. Even, naija intelligence is better than theirs. Just shooting missiles aimlessly, anywhere, everywhere. Na so dem go handle a nuclear weapon na. So. They have proved the US right that they must not be allowed to have it.

Iran can't make enemies of their 'brothers'. It should be calming down. The Gulf states are not standing with you on this. One needs allies no matter what.

Iran, think it through.

I knew it will get to this stage, it is not every time you do gra-gra, just imagine if all the countries hit decide to go to full war with Iran coupled with U.S and Israel, I advise they should all strike a peace deal with each other and apologize to each other.

But I notice how a lot of people miss really why Iran is going through these battles, mainly because of fighting Israel, I kind of feel their problem lies more in fighting the wrong way than whether what they are fighting for is right or wrong(my opinion though).

Why do you ignore the fact that these countries harbor American bases from where attacks are launched on Iran?

Tell America and Israel to do away with their nuclear weapons, then.....
Why countries rush to get nuclear weapons
The biggest reason is protection.
Look at this example:
👉 North Korea
Before nuclear weapons → weak, threatened
After nuclear weapons → nobody dares attack directly
Even the powerful United States avoids direct war with them.
👉 Why?
Because:
❗ Nuclear weapons = “If you attack me, you will also be destroyed”
This is called:
👉 Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD)
Meaning:
If one launches → both sides lose everything



Let them face Russia
Re: Gulf States Meet In Riyadh, Urge Iran To Stop Attacks On Neighbouring Countries by brain54(m): 10:31am On Mar 19
But you would continue harboring us military bases...


From which strikes are launched at Iran? undecided

What kinda two faced crap is that? embarassed
Re: Gulf States Meet In Riyadh, Urge Iran To Stop Attacks On Neighbouring Countries by Afolue(m): 10:32am On Mar 19
The Gulf states should try meet up with Iran’s conditions for the sake of peace. It shouldn’t be too hard for them to. Iranians are the brutally wounded here
Re: Gulf States Meet In Riyadh, Urge Iran To Stop Attacks On Neighbouring Countries by Flangelo12: 10:32am On Mar 19
The Gulf states should continue giving aid and comfort to US military.

Iranian military need to be completely cleared out m and never be allowed to build any functional military ever again. If they had nuclear they would have use it since on their neighbours.

Instead of face Israel they are dragging the neighbours into that they are not getting involved.
Re: Gulf States Meet In Riyadh, Urge Iran To Stop Attacks On Neighbouring Countries by LibertyRep: 10:33am On Mar 19
They haven't addressed the elephant in the room.

They should be bold enough to condemn the unprovoked aggression on Iran, and refrain from making their countries available for the aggressors.

It takes some level of hypocrisy for anyone not to condemn this needless war, reason why other countries have stayed away from it.

Iran, think it through.
Iranian regime is fighting for survival they are not rational anymore and they don't have leaders. They have replacements for their dead leaders who don't posses leadership skills. Iran hoped the world will turn against the US unfortunately for them the gulf states have turned against Iran. With more pressure from the US NATO will cave and support their NATO daddy USA.

Iran needs allies and their strategy of attacking gulf states to make gulf states turn against the US is not working. Last night Iran attacked Gaza. Imagine all those "free Palestine" crowd feeling foolish now

I would have been surprised if you said anything sensible.

A country was attacked without any provocation from these same "neighbours" by another country that has bases there and you expect them to just keep quiet and be dancing alanta? Lol.

If you drag in a termite infested wood into your home, expect to have lizards as visitors.

At the moment, Iran has absolutely nothing to lose. Is it their supreme leader you'll kill? He's dead! Is it their ministers? Most of them are dead? Is it their warships? Destroyed! Is it their children? Started bombing them already! So what exactly do you expect from an injured bear? It's going to lash out in all directions and make sure it doesn't go down alone. Since you can choose outsiders over your neighbor, don't expect any compromise from the same neighbor.

Iran played by the rules for so long and it only brought them pains. Getting bombed 2 different times during negotiations. Who does that? They have no nuclear weapons, Israel does. They are not committing a genocide, Israel is. They are not bombing schools and hospitals, Israel is. Yet they are the devils. Talking about sovereignty when you allowed your countries to be used as bases to attack a sovereign country. Is that not hypocrisy?
Re: Gulf States Meet In Riyadh, Urge Iran To Stop Attacks On Neighbouring Countries by Minjim: 10:35am On Mar 19
This is exactly why Israel and the US is fighting Iran . Iran Is becoming too powerful in the middle east that it feels it can do anything and get away with it.

Other Middle Eastern countries now know they can't afford to have a strong Iran .
You sponsor terrorism and when authority come after you you start attack the weak ones around you .
Re: Gulf States Meet In Riyadh, Urge Iran To Stop Attacks On Neighbouring Countries by Sirleo05: 10:35am On Mar 19
It is simple, stop the US from using ur country to lunch attack on iran , and in return iran will stop to attack you. You can't tell them to stop and the US is still attacking them from ur country, e no jell.

Their "Muslim neighbours" host US military bases from which Iran is attacked. They are not friends of Iran as far as this war is concerned. They are enemies!

US did not attack Iran from US soil, they used military bases close to Iran to attack, therefore, Iran has the responsibility of attacking the countries that are home to those military bases.

No sir. Iran has never attacked any Gulf countries without being attacked. My enemies can't be attacking me from your home and you want to be a good neighbor to you.
Friends of my enemies are also your enemies. I.e is the law of nature.
