SpencerForbes:
That 20th-century agreement was strictly for counterattacks, but Iran is a different ball game entirely. We already know their real agenda. Let them keep throwing tantrums like kids who lost their birthday cake; it changes nothing.

Also, let’s be clear: Pakistan is in South Asia, not the Middle East. It’s those Middle Eastern terrorists and their autocratic 'agbada' politics that are ruining everything. Even then, they remain a serious threat—one small provocation and the can start a war.
Its like you know nothing about Pakistan according to your u.s.a after the 911 attack osama bin laden was the no. 1 terrorist designated by the west, when the u.s began the invasion of Afghanistan blaming the talibans for hoarding osama bin laden, where did he flee to Pakistan, who harbored him before he was killed 10 years later? Islamabad. When the taliban leaders was fleeing against u.s coalition who harbored them? Islamabad.
The only reason the west havenot tagged Pakistan a terrorist state is because they have an alliance with them.
As for Pak not being middle east state the person I quoted clearly said no Muslim country should be allowed to own nukes but Pakistan do have.

No, he didn't, everything is going according to the plan. Even Israel is not worried. So let's all sit back and enjoy the show. People's expectations are off the roof, they(Public) expected a clean sweep, but we the general public are not war experts so we don't know and don't have first-hand information on what's going on. Finally, USA & Israel won't start what dey can't finish, or go to war with someone they can't win. It's totally impossible.
..but trump is asking for NATO and European countries assistance NJ ut they refused to assist USA and trump in the war concerning straits of Hormuz.. which means trump cannot fight this battle alone even along with Isreal

The purpose of the war has been achieved.The
Iran terro regime has been weakened.
We are gradually tilting to regime change which is possible any time soon.
If you don't agree with my position then keep your fingers crossed,wait and watch as events unfold.

You have a war that is crippling your allies in the Middle East

A war that is bleeding global economy including your home inflation

A war you are begging for allies to join you one minute and expressing frustration the next

A war that you can no longer control, typically you claim you have won but can't pull out because the ball is now in Iran court while they tag you along for fight

A war that you are needing more budget approval running in hundreds of billions

A war that you say one and Iran say five not looking to surrender

A war to help a supposed people against their leaders yet the people have left you in the cold without support

A war that you keep "obliterating" an already obliterated nuclear joke

It's just the beginning for trump, Iran has nothing to loose
they even called China at some point. Now nato is making threats to America about debts to be paid before exit.
Chess game is actually from Persians. Those guys are warriors from fathers to sons to ancestors. Some isreali Nigerian goats are celebrating and caping dust while their real masters are bleeding

Iran could control the strait of homus all these years. Yet they didn't cause any trouble to the world. If that thing had been in America or they had control over it the world would be kneeling and living on its knees everyday from sanctions and wars

Your own words "we the general public are not war experts so we don't know and don't have first-hand information on what's going on."

Also you " everything is going according to the plan."

Sometimes we just open our mouths and talk without thinking. All I can say is you don't know what the hell is going on so would you please just shut up ?

What do you mean Iran has nothing to lose when in reality they have lost almost everything.....

You guys propaganda that Netanyahu is dead did not fly anywhere now its Trump miscalculate in this war, you guys should ride on it will soon clear in you all eyes when Iran turns to rubles and a new power different from the terrorist regime is installed

Osama bin Laden hiding in Pakistan doesn’t prove anything. Look at Nnamdi Kanu—he was in the UK and was eventually caught in Kenya. Does that mean the UK or Kenya officially supported him? Not necessarily. Even the most wanted fugitives in history find ways to cross borders.

The US hasn't officially 'labeled' them because they know the diplomatic and economic cost, and they are trying to avoid a total meltdown. Trust me, if it were happening today with the current global tension, they wouldn't have even been allowed to get that far. It’s all about interests and the cost of engagement.
Re: The US/Israel-Iran War: Did Donald Trump Miscalculate? by Kokaine(m): 7:44pm On Mar 20
You talk from your pot of hate. Iran has been firing missiles but there is no massacre like what happened in Palestine. Do you know why? They're taking care to avoid civilians
Hmmmmm2024:
He did not miscalculate...he shot himself on the leg when he said he was going to save the Iranian people ... Now Iran is shooting missiles indiscriminately and killing people, but America cannot kill the Iranians because "They said they were going to save them" ... How can you kill the people you promised to save?

Iranian airspace is in the hands of America, during the burial of khamenei and other generals, thousands of people gathered to bury them, but America cannot bomb them, else the world will use her word against her. But if it was Iran who has total control over Israel or American airspace, and thousands of Americans or Israelis gather like that, we all know Iran would have killed all of them.

To those Iranian sympathizers, you cannot win a country that has total control over your airspace. You can only try and impress those in Northern Nigeria, but it's all waste of time

Whatever the cost can't be compared with Iran having nuclear weapons

They wanted to pull a Venezuela on Iran, but Iran showed why they have been standing for over 4 Millenia.
I have a theory:
Donald Trump never wanted this war, but he was threatened by the Jews via the Epstein Files.

Toe this war reveal why the entire Middle East Countries are weary of Iran and why they all want USA protection. Imagine it's Iran vs Saudi Arabia, Saudi would have been in ruins now. Secondly, attacking your next door neighbor is simply not Smart

It's an eye opener to those allies not to be weak and to form a security alliance against Iran for feature occurrences and again to invest in defense system that could track drones. Iran can't shot drones to Israel it will be detected, they are just using missiles which have been largely degraded and Israel are not bothered rather pushing for this war. And they have made it clear Iran can't get a nuclear weapons

Who bought phone for this one. many of u guys know little or absolute nothings about geopolitics but u will just come here be spitting nonsense. USA do not only miscalculated they shouldn't have attacked Iran at all not to talk of killing there supreme leader. The only thing stopping them from having nuclear weapons is Khamenei Nd they have killed him. now Iran will be so so eager to build there nuclear weapons now to avoid been attacked again in the future.
