I'm enjoying this.
This is interesting.
Iran fighting two rogue bullies.
Iran will come out stronger, while the bullies will bury their heads in shame.
For the moment, I stand with Iran.
How can Iran come out stronger after the damages inflicted on them, how many of their leaders has lost their lives over this war and still counting, they have been defeated and just matter of time another regime will take over from the terrorist government

$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?
Bro, let us stop being sympathetic to these white folks. They have mastered the game of making us (African) to aligned with them psychologically, emotionally without reciprocal gestures from them. We even prayed for them.

Iran has bad economy for more than 40yrs and still has good health care, education, infrastructure and modern warfare weapons than Western controlled African nations. A sanctioned country "on the verge of attaining nuclear status"..

I was a big fan of Trump. For a man who believes he is the only good person in the room. The attraction died.

The truth is both American and Israel has has suffered more in comparative costs in human and equipment wise as against projected outcomes which I believed they narrowed down to zero or insignificant.

Shame don catch them finish. They go burn over a trillion dollars in this war and still can't step a foot on Iranian soil.

And by the way I am not a Muslim

The war has shown that Iran does not need nuclear weapons to deal with US and Israel. Iran, a non-nuclear state battling two nuclear states and still standing.
Actually, Iran does not need nuclear weapons, they have great scientists, they have mastered a lot of technologies, Isreal can still be dealt with without nuclear weapons, they should try and build their airforce, maintaining their decentralized mosaic defense strategy and master assymetric warfare. War is not just about bombardment, but the strategy to fight to it to point of victory, i.e having a definite endgame.

but yet Iran is still holding America for blokos

Why America is crying for Iran to surrender

If Iran is really affected in this war by now it's own people bearing the brunt would be on the street with America for regime change

But they have adapted miraculously or should we also say na because of the fear of regime an uprising cant happen now

That would make America complicit in defeat again if the regime is strong enough to still command public fear at this point after been "obliterated"
You guys are daftt, holding America in which blokos? Targeting US bases here and their is what they can do in a war, when US is not even in all out war with them, America is holding back because of those citizens you're bragging about.

You started on a very bad note. Are you asking me to be sympathetic to Iranian folks?
You are praising the Iranian economy, so would you rather be in Iran or the US? Let's be honest.
You made the very false statement that both America and Israel have suffered more in comparative costs in human and equipment terms.
So, I want you to compare the American/Israel to the Iranian loss, and then we can discuss. List what you think each side has lost.

Again, they have control of the skies; that's why they have not stepped onto the soil. But let me ask, in a few weeks, if they step into the soil, would you withdraw these remarks?

I think everyone knows Iran can’t possibly stand against the combined military power of bout the US and Israel but no one envisaged Iran would be a hard-nut to crack. Putting boot on the ground would ultimately destabilize the entire Middle- East region and

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

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.
What are you talking about? Are you praising the Iranian regime for surviving 21 days of war? Make it make sense. And you call hitting the global economy Iran's victory, that's a weird way of thinking. The so-called victory is causing them more enemies; it's damaging the economy of their big ally, China. Your understanding of victory means destroying civilization. That's scary.

Wao, the total is not even up to $1 billion.

That's not really a gross impact in terms financial cost to the US if that figure is true.

Trump's major aim is to obliterate Iran's missile / drone development capacity and programme.

Iran developed several fragmented under-ground missile cities and launchers. Once the US is clear that a good number of those bunkers have been blown up, US will evacuate Iran.
You are talking as if you are a member of the US marines, na so he easy to evacuate Iran. Hollywood don do you shege. Keep dreaming.

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.
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.

With all the intel they have, i'm shocked how they didn't know what Iran was capable of doing. Honestly, I feel they knew about Iranian military might, but they felt once they killed the Ayotollah, there would be internal fight for power, and regime change. They didn't study the psychology of an average Iranian properly...this is where they miscalculated.

I never said so. But to claim that Iran is winning now is comedy. We see the side losing its generals and losing on all fronts. The only thing Iran has for now is the Strait of Hormuz. The moment they lose control of that, nothing would remain, and I can bet with you that they would soon lose that.

What nukes? You even think nukes are meant to be used, lol. Nukes are for deterrent, once you have it, no country will ever try of invading you.
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?
So let's make this very simple. You are the strongest country in the world. Would you allow your enemy to build a weapon that can wipe you out? Would you want to find out if it is for war or for deterrence? To me, it would be an irresponsible choice if you allow it, but that's just me. The more countries allowed to build nuclear weapons, the greater the possibility of their being used.
Lastly, Iran is willing to destroy the global economy. I see no reason why they would not blast the world and let everything fall to pieces if they can.

How about damaged done to IRAN. I really don't understand why you guys always report about US it is only a fool and empty head like you would think US won't be hit in return. Even the military acknowledged there would more loss. That is War . Have you check lran lately.. Tehran is in ruined, widely destroyed, hope you know the numbers of people displaced in lran by this war... 3.2million

For the record, the president of the United States is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year.

The only reason you wouldn't want to allow them to have it is allow you to invade them anytime you feel like doing that cheesy.
And secondly, they can't wipe you out with it, they can't use it against you because you have it too and they know the consequences of using it against you. It is that simple. They don't call it MAD for nothing. But USA and israel just need excuses to invade other countries.
I meant who invades other countries and destruction of lives and properties based on guts feeling and you want the world to have peace?

Lastly, Iran is willing to destroy the global economy. I see no reason why they would not blast the world and let everything fall to pieces if they can.
What other leverage do you think they have apart from choking their water way and retaliation against the neighbouring countries that allow USA to launch attacks? They have no means of striking USA soil. Israel is being defended against their retaliation by many countries such as USA and UK.
