Of course yes he miscalculated big time. He will not admit it, Trump is biting his fingers at one corner of his room and muttering "had I know. "
Lol do you know the havoc that they have caused Iran, those infrastructures were built for decades and that is billions of dollars which they starved their citizenry to built, being eroded at a twinkling of an eye, Iran gulfed for not signing a deal and they have paid dearly for that and their country decimation is still ongoing.

The only miscalculation in in the war with Iran is the delay in starting it. If only mmorrons around the world could understand the evil in the hearts of Iran, they would be grateful to Trump for taking the ancient evil bull by the horns.

Because your brain doesnt understand that this is not a religious war. That is the problem you guys have...you have been looking at it from a religious pov, which has stripped you of any form of objectivity.
Walai:
Iran will never and can never have a nuclear weapon. Any price paid now is worth it to prevent the disaster in the future .

BTW I thought Iran is Shia? What is this new found love for Shia Iran meanwhile I didn't see this emergency lovers of Shia when Buhari were killing Shai Muslims in their numbers

Trump did the right thing. Iran will never have nuclear weapon. Any body who is not okay with that can go amd join Iran yo fight the war
Trump has done a great deal to the world and they would remain grateful. Their one legged Supreme leader has been shipped to Russia for fear of what he knows can happen, the president has tune down on his threatening words since this week he is an easy target but I hope he wouldn't be targeted for he is a lesser evil

Nigerian Christians do not know the difference between jews and christians. Such a huge shame.

Iran always knew it would come to this. They're not stupid.

The warmongering nations thought Iran was a fry in the pan.

They didn't see this coming.

Even European countries aren't joining the warmongers because they know this was an unnecessary war from the US/Israel
Is not an unnecessary war, the terrorist regime can't have a nuclear capability, majority of their military infrastructures which they starved their citizenry to built have been damaged and it will take decades to repair or build new ones and again their neighbors have seen a reason to pursue military dominance and grow some balls just like Israel

Israel pushed, pressured the buffoon into the war.

He don spoil show for republican party.

Even a member of his cabinet resigned, saying Iran is not an imminent threat.

Yes o, he ate the humble pie after sandwiching Ayatollah, wife and in law, larijani, General
Saleh Asadi, Second Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naini, Ali Reza Bi-Azar, Ahmad Rasouli, Majid Hassini, Mohammad Pakpour, Reza Khazaei, Rear admiral Ali Shamkhani just to mention a few and all in March 2026 alone grin
What could be more embarrassing than this? Taking out the leaders of a supposedly powerful country like they were chickens.

Biko, what if this Trump didn't eat the humble pie?

He miscalculated big time. Otherwise, Venezuelan fate would have befell Iran, DT would have installed a supreme leader or a choice President for the Islamic Republic of Iran, IRGC would have been overpowered, various Air Bases in the Gulf wouldn't have been bombed, global crude oil wouldn't have been adversely affected and by now his mindless and ruthless war against Iran would have been overly won.

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.
LoL of course he miscalculated. His assumption is that after hitting Ayattolah, Iran will crumble, how wrong of him. Now he is fighting alone with no support from allies. He has been running helter skelter seeking help even from China🤣🤣🤣
This war will end in shame.
Re: The US/Israel-Iran War: Did Donald Trump Miscalculate? by DangoteAlhaji: 8:54pm On Mar 20
Trump did not miscalculate , however, he underrated Iran and now he's getting to understand they ain't a small deal. Whichever way , I see him winning at the end of the day. At whatever cost though. Other powerful nations staying aloof May have no choice at the very long run than to just join him to get the mission accomplished.
Re: The US/Israel-Iran War: Did Donald Trump Miscalculate? by HallahGeisher: 8:54pm On Mar 20
Miscalculate for what. You think if the US and Israeli start throwing those bombs indiscriminately like Iran , there will be any soul remaining in Iran to fire a single shot?

And after that, spent billions of dollars in just 2 weeks trying to subdue a country whose leader he killed. Trump is seriously regretting his action. No ally wants to touch him with a 10m pole.

you call war show? A time of death is show to you?
Re: The US/Israel-Iran War: Did Donald Trump Miscalculate? by maestroferddi: 9:01pm On Mar 20
You dey mind those delusional elements...

People who reason upside down...A once feared Iran has been reduced a laughingstock and terrorist sympathizers are regaling themselves in twisted reasoning.

Trump gave a timeline of about 8 weeks for the war so I don't understand what the hysteria is all about...

The strategic objectives of the war are being achieved day by day...all these without getting boots down on Iranian soil.

What else can someone objectively ask for?

fineboynl:
It was not a miscalculated

If there is any side that miscalculated it's the Iranians. You people said it will be a wold war and that china and Russia will help. Who miscalculated?

Everything is going as planned.
It's the risk no U.S president was willing to take. Because of the strait of hormuz and the entire middle east crisis. But trump took that risk and winning.

It will be over very soon. Just chill

This will make trump the most greatest U.S president. Just after Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman. A feast no president have ever reached in recent time.

Actually, I come from one of the parts of the world where human lives are more valued than material things and money, you can't relate but it's perfectly normal and understandable.
We are sane and not animals and as such, human lives mean so much to us that we don't mind spending trillions protecting them.
Like for real, how the f could a sane person be equating the death of dozens whole humans to mere monetary loss? grin Like how?

Have sense, and remove God from the rubbish Netanyahu and Trump are doing.

It's not that hard.
Only what or whom we refer to as "God" differs.

For one of us, He lives in us. For the other, he is a stone in Saudi Arabia.

People are not saying out the quiet part loud!

You fired top generals and intelligence officers who would not bow to him. Appointed a TV host as Secretary of War, who has no experience with coordinating all moving parts of the military!

If the show of shame amazes you, then you not current!

He wanted loyalist and he got it! Now, experience taking a big toll on the military.
Is it Hegseth that fought in the Iraq war you are referring to as TV host ?
