Chai... Cry us a river.... The cost in real time will still be known after the war, and I mean total cost😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It's worse when you already know the estimated billing like America 😆😆 . Imagine an inferior military wiping out entire military bases. Bunch of noise makers claiming to be super powers. They even had to run to south Korea to dismantle their missile defense to protect israel, which was eventually destroyed 😆

Omo guy your mind go weep in pains throughout this year

How will that bring back your supreme leaders, generals and top government officials that are with their gurls in alujana?
He doesn't need to come back, he had played his role and the world could now see that he made Iran much stronger than he met it. That's a crazy legacy.
If Trump kpai today, you will see the difference between the two on your phone and TV

$200 billion is about 20% of the defence budget. On the other hand, Iran is losing its entire economy because it chooses to remain stubborn.
Note: $800m In Damages is so much money, but it is only about 0.1% of the US defense budget.

If we are to quantify the damage done in Tehran alone by the US bombing, how many billions do you think it will cost?
Have equipment worth several millions or even billions been destroyed by Iran or not. The US thought it was going to be like Venezuela.

I hope you're aware that sanctions has been lifted on their oil.

One thing is very very certain.

US and Israel really underestimated Iran. Before they could realise Iran was no pushover, it was already too late.

Now trump is asking the US congress for another $200 billion to continue the war.
I can dig up my post here where I said this war could last longer than Trump in office. I said that because I knew that he didn't know what he just got himself involved in

The worse mistake is when they put boots on the ground. We will know who is fighting the war. Humans or money. No be by 200 billion
You have no point here. You know nothing about the state or readiness of the Iranian army. You are not a war expert. Don't just be making unwise statements on nairaland.

Wait and let's see, then we can talk about it.

In a week or 2 from now, after the battles have been fought, we can then tell who is winning.
But as of today,
Iran has hit some US bases
13 American have died
On the other hand thousands of Iranians have died.
Hundreds of Iranian military bases in Iran have been destroyed.
The entire air defence is destroyed
The entire navy and air force is gone.
Top leaders and generals gone

So, who is winning.

Even on the economic front, the Iranian currency is toilet paper.
Iran is suffering some of the worst inflation ever.

Iran is not paradise.
Iran is been dealt with by two sophisticated military in the world.

But people want to use to media and AI to make it look as if Iran is winning grin

Anyway, we know the media has always hated trump and Israel, but on ground they know that Iran is loosing this war, and they just want to use the media sympathy to push USA to stop.

To me, make USA leave middle east, make Israel finish this people undecided
Israel is nothing without USA, you should have known that.
And why would media love the two terrorists nations that are destroying world peace?

You mean 200 billion is too much to stop your enemy from acquiring nukes? A 20% rise in the military budget is too much? I don't agree with you, sir. Do you know how many American servicemen died in Iraq and Afghanistan, all thanks to Iranian-backed militia? 200 billion is not a crazy price for their lives.
I understand that as a Nigerian, where your life is meaningless to your government, this could be a great deal.

You forget the hardship that Trump brought upon the world for u provocative attack just to prove super power


This war is resettling lots of assumptions and ideology.

1) if only Iran without nuclear weapons can hold both US and Israel simultaneously for this long and still cause significant damages then others can

2) Using US as your military protector is a total fail bcs they don't have the absolute capacity to protect you a case study of Dubai and Saudi.

3) Using expensive equipment doesn't guarantee safety bcs ordinary $5000 can damage $300m

Only some foolish Christian will believe that the damage is 800 million dollars

The real damage is over 2 billion dollars

If USA Israel tell you any of their challenge just multiply it by 3

Anyone who thinks that nature is making money from being air bombed needs to think again. Iran has even lost its central bank, in case you don't know. Soldiers have not been paid in at least 2 months. If Iran is as rich as you say, how come soldiers are not getting paid? Maybe they are investing the money for them.

See some Mumu comments here!
So,in War,you don't know there will be cost elements on both sides but so far,the damages in F-35 Stealth Jet is what is being considered here,
•So,why are Nigerians so gaulible as about an American issues, Instead of the,
- lack of Rice on their Tables,
- Lack of Light 🚨🕯️- for 24- hours on Daily basis,
- lack of Money 🤑 in their Accounts,
Lack of good roads 🛣️- instead to hold their Representatives like:
- the Governors- what do de do with Huge Money Collected Every 3- Months from Federation Accounts?
-the Senator and House of Reps- the Billions collected for CONSTITUENCY PROJECTS -Money for their AREAS- Are they using it for the Development of Your AREAS?
- the Local Govts Chairmen/Chairwomen - in their Localities,how have they Developed your AREA?
•But rather,they dable on something they have nothing to do with their Life 🧬.

Ok, you are praising Iran for destroying your global economy and making everyone, including themselves, poorer? This is a funny line of argument. How is destroying the global economy and making Nigerians and even Iranian supporters worldwide a win for Iran? Please, senior man, explain this to me?

You guys are missing the point. In analyzing who is doing better, you have to consider their strength. The USA and Israel are the overwhelmingly stronger side in every respect, militarily and economically. We are talking about the biggest economy and most advanced military and its proxy against a desert country under sanctions for half a century. So there is no comparison.

Therefore the mere survival is the Iranian regime alone is victory for Iran.
The mere fact that Iran can hold the world to ransom at the Strait is victory for Iran.

You have to understand the context.

Not really, I get info from everywhere. Al Jazeera is very far from Western. Unlike you, I don't only listen to propaganda. Again, the Western news is much more balanced. If you listened to MSMBC, an American news outlet, you would believe the US is losing to Iran.

How much do you think the Iranian weapons and equipment that have been destroyed cost? Iran's Air defence alone costs more than 10 billion dollars. Please research the cost of complete S3 defence systems.

Who wants invade North Korea? NATO and Europe are staying away from Russia. Why?

What were they looking for?
And you think USA needs 200 billion dollars just to level Iran because of imaginary nuclear weapon as if 90 million Iranians are nothing but trash that doesn't count?

The issue is why start an unnecessary war in the first place? why kill several of their leaders overnight (that's an insult and also extreme bullying). What happens to diplomatic discussions if you want the petroldollar so bad. You just walk into any country kill their leader and leave them in extreme disorder. They did it to Libya , Venezuela, Iran (sanctions Upon sanctions B4 the bombs). It's annoying.
