Actually, they don't have the balls to do so.

All their population combined not even up to Iran.

They can't even raise an army that can fight the Houthis, reason they all invited the US bases to their lands as a form of protection.

Unfortunately their eyes are now opened seeing that these bases are for the Zionist protection and for the US interests, not to protect these weak Arab gluttons.
Saudi Arabia has one of the best Airforce in the Gulf Region and it's only a matter of time before the Gulf stayed will teem up together to strike.
Iran does not even have a Airforce now that's capable of retaliation.They have been depleted.
All Iran can do now is to fire missiles.

Let me remind you my brother, wars are not won by population of firing of missiles along. Air supremacy is the most significant factors in winning modern wars

I know that even if trump told you that it is USA that is sponsoring bokoharam, Isis, alqaeda you and your family will still believe it is Islamic terrorist

Meanwhile, you did give this excuses when Israel destroyed Palestine but now that USA and Israel are getting the same doses of their wickedness you want to tell us about some children abroad

Tell us where trump and satanyahu children are right NOW?
Trump and Netanyahu are doing fine at least you can see them giving speech. They are not hiding inside holes like all your Iranian friends are doing now for fear of being targeted by Israel

Can't you people do your own research before asking pre-school questions?

They are hosting US bases the US is using to attack Iran and protect the Zionists

US and the Zionists use these countries' airspace to launch attacks against Iran while these countries shoot down (some of) Iran's retaliatory strikes.

A friend of my enemy is also my enemy.

They actually hate (their elites) Iran because Iranians aren't really Arabs and are Shias (Most of these arabs are Sunnis)
So, Iran is justified to attack them? Can Iran fight all of them plus Israel/US and win?

very soon they will all bow to Iran or face total destruction, it is crystal clear that america can no longer protect them
Your evil wish, but it will never materialize. maybe only you will bow to Iran.

Nonsense talk.
We were inundated with this same sterile propaganda when the governments of Libya, Iraq, Syria and Yemen were uprooted by those who claim to be spreading democracy. We will later find out that they are just neck deep involved in looting the resources of these nations.

Today, money from Iraqi Oil sales are first paid into American accounts before the leftovers head to Iraq. Today, America manages Venezuelas oil and steals from it and no one talks about democracy in Caracas again. Libyans don't even know who buys and sells their oil anymore. Syria is rulled by Isis

Stop supporting evil.

TThe west can not pontificate for anyone anymore!
They are ull of brigands who use bombs and rockets to destroy the developing world, with the sole aim of looting their resources..
But at least now Venezuelans can now enjoy their oil in peace unlike before when the drug cartels were siphoning it though Russia and China. It is all a game to steal from this big powers. Even you have not said anything about your minerals been stolen in the north by Bokoharan and in turn China. Or you want to blame the US dor that too.. wailers.

The true colours of that evil country is showing. Reason why it is important to contain them. Imagine how irrational they're behaving without nuclear weapons, now imagine what it'll be like if they attain nuclear capacity. Innocent countries are being attacked for no reason. All the while Iran has been funding and training ISIS, Hezbollah and other terrorist organisations to attack other countries like Nigeria, nothing happened. Now they're being attacked for legitimate reasons, theyre irrationally taking the war to their neighbours.This is why Iran must be stopped at all costs.
Ignorance is indeed bliss, are you absolutely ignorant or playing mischief? How do you allow your country to be used to attack another country and turn around to claim innocence?

If these arab countries try to retaliate na game over.
Fire from persia go rain on them. Make we see where USA and Isreal wan protect or launch air attackd.
This conflict is less about nations clashing and more about leadership decisions colliding, while ordinary people bear the consequences.


Strip away the narratives, and the reality is the same demolished infrastructure, weakened institutions, fallen leaders, and thousands of civilian deaths. These are not signs of victory, bro they are evidence of deep collective loss. You can choose to believe whatever but it doesn't change reality

So what does “winning” even mean when a nation’s foundations are in ruins?

Looking at the scale of damage,lives lost, systems broken,it’s hard to argue for any real victory in Iran. Beyond sentiment, a broader view of events suggests this is less about triumph and more about survival, strategy, and influence in a complex regional struggle.

You speak as if iran started this conflict.

They will survive and the resentment will as well.

Death to America will still continue.

When in 2014 , you joined hands to accuse and chase Goodluck Jonathan out of office to bring in your APC, didn't you tell us that you will fix the refinerieshuh

If Iran sneezed, Nigeria will start catching cold and people like you can't trust to find it true that the evil leaders we have, have decided to keep Nigeria in a bad shape huh?

Answer this simple question :

You have 2 strangers trying to destroy you but they can't attack you well enough because they're far from you, so they decided to do that from your neighbors compound.

What should you do to those neighbours who allowed them to set up camp in their compounds to attack you from?

(A) Buy them roses
(B) Sing them a Christmas song
(C) Attack both your neighbors and the camp of the strangers within your neighbor's compound.

You mean the Saudis that couldn't even deal with the Houthis without the help of the US?

This is no longer the era of hyping countries, Iran just showed the world that hyping wins no war.

just imagine how you reason! Imagine nuclear weapons in the hand of people who think like you and Iran, you will never have nuclear weapons as far as US and Israel exist. Just know this war is complex for US because they are avoiding collateral damages to Iranian people, if not there will be no more hide out where Islamic regime terrorist will operating from

Tolumiide:
Is Iran the only country in the middle East, have you ever asked yourself, why always Iran.
I don't need AI, to make my point clear, you're faulting AI as a western tools, yet you're quoting it.

Thirdly, in response to your request, Iran’s long standing support for terrorist activities and regional militias such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement in Yemen and Hamas in Palestine has heightened security fears in Gulf states and middle East, these make countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE to deepen military cooperation and relationships, increase arms purchases, and align more closely with the United States for protection.
After debunking whatever you came up with, this is your defence?

Brother, stop worshipping the west.


Now, let me show you what Iran has done for her neighbours in time past :


Here are the strongest, evidence-based examples.

1) Iran backed Kuwait’s sovereignty in 1990
During the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait:
Iran condemned Iraq’s invasion immediately
It supported UN sanctions against Iraq
It viewed Saddam’s move as a threat to all Gulf states, including itself
This is not minor. At that time:
Iran had just fought an 8-year war with Iraq
It could have stayed neutral or even exploited Kuwait
Instead, Iran aligned with Gulf states against Iraq’s expansion.

Blunt truth:
Iran didn’t send troops, but politically, it was on the same side as Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

2) Iran proposed regional security without foreign powers
The Hormuz Peace Initiative:
Called for joint Gulf security by regional countries
Explicitly rejected dependence on the U.S. or external forces
Aimed to secure shipping lanes and reduce conflict
From Iran’s view:
Foreign military presence creates instability
Gulf countries should rely on each other instead
You may call this self-serving, but it is still a framework for collective protection.

3) Iran helped Qatar during the 2017 blockade
When Qatar was isolated by Saudi Arabia, UAE, and others:

Iran kept airspace open
It supplied food and trade routes
Helped Qatar avoid economic shock
That’s not military protection, but it prevented:
economic collapse
internal instability
From Qatar’s perspective, that was real support when neighbors turned hostile.

4) Iran maintained stabilizing ties with Oman
Oman is the exception in the Gulf:
Iran and Oman maintain consistent cooperation
Iran supplies gas and supports economic stability
Oman often acts as a mediator between Iran and Gulf states

This relationship has helped:
reduce tensions in the Strait of Hormuz
prevent escalation spillovers
Not flashy, but strategically important.

5) Iran occasionally aligned with Gulf interests against chaos

There are moments where interests overlapped:
Opposition to Saddam’s regional expansion (1990)
Concern about extremist instability in Iraq post-2003
Quiet coordination through intermediaries at times
These are not alliances, but situational convergence.
What you won’t find (and why)


Why?

Because Iran’s strategy is different:
It plays asymmetric power, not conventional defense
It builds influence through proxies and leverage
Gulf monarchies often see it as a threat, not a partner

There is nothing he is not viciously employing including $200billion new budget for this war

Yet Iran is matching him and his girlfriend "Israel" that is also going for backup funding

Iran is in charge now, their trump are just stuck in this war, nuclear weapon they can't destroy, regime change they can't effect, get Iran people to protest they can't, open homuz they can't, get Iran to surrender they can't,
What would you do if you had the firepower of USA.... Bomb Iran to oblivion with millions of innocent people just to open the strait?

nobody bombs another nation to oblivion just cos they have access to it

They are both fighting with what they can and Iran is fighting back which is shame to USA

Trump actually believes he can decide from his bedroom who can govern Iran or whatever, like he assumes himself God

And a country with limited strength like Iran is going head to head with him

When Iran was arming Hamas, Hezbollah, houtis, Syria and Iraqi militias against Israel, they didn't think like you are thinking now. You didn't answer my second question. Let us see how it ends.
