You killed their leaders and their civilians including children but you're not at war with them?

You bombed their banks, hospitals, schools, factories,, refineries, bridges, mosques, historical sites but you're not at war with them?

So when will the US be at war with Iran?

The US is weak plain and simple. Can't even finish off small Iran in 48 hours like they promised.

Dotherightthing:
The helicopters successfully carried out the rescue operation and returned to base despite the hit

What is there to celebrate?

Iran is being obliterated as we speak.

I just pity Iran

Unfortunately, the 3rd and 4th lines have become the 1st and 2nd lines, with a New set of 3rd and 4th Lines.
The rules in iran now, is that every important Leader in any Sector, must have Lines of Succession to the 4th level, at any point in time, so that the cowards hiding in the sky to throw Bombs at girls school cannto ever create a leadership vacuum.

Ayatollah number 4 is already waiting to assume Office, na who go tire?
Meanwhile, Israel is in ruins, the conspiring Gulf Countries are also feeling the heat, especially Saudi, Qatar, UAE and Bahrain.
Bunch of Cowards.

One thing the WORLD IS CELEBRATING is that Israel and the US no longer enjoy the sole impunity of bombing another country, without feeling any repercussion, like they did in Libya, Iraq, Syria, etc.

Israel is in ruins, even Lebanon is fighting back, Iraq is fighting back now, Houthis are throwing Banga, Hamas is lobbing Biisco! grin

Ive read people saying that supporting Iran means supporting Jihad or Terrorism.

That's far from the truth. People are just sick and tired of western imperialism and oppression.

What makes Israel acquire nuclear weapons and Iran couldn't?.what standards or criteria make Israel got one?

Which country has Iran invaded lately?

I can name many nations that US/Israel terrorise. For example, libya, Venezuela, Iraq, Syria.

United State is the dirtiest nation on the planet. They woke the demon out of all the Arab Nations. They plan coup in countries whose leaders are not cooperating, weaponised the opposition/rebels, so they can install their puppet.

Even the current Syrian leader once had a bounty placed on his head by the America, only for him to turn into a saint in suit, holding hands with Trump in the white house.

America is the spiritual Babylon, and just like the old one, she'll fall too.

Iran is at war but US is not at with them. If US decides to be at war with Iran, it will over in 48hrs and there's no doubt about that. US is only after regime change which is why their only targets are the military and the terrorist leaders. They are being careful not to hurt the civilian areas to avoid losing the little support they have from Iranians and the new expected Iranian leadership.

oga, US are just looking for excuses to invade Iran seriously and portrayed then before the world as dangerous and Iran are falling for the trap, soon US will say they were looking for their pilots that's the reasons for the ground invasion.

And you think the group invasion will be easy? Do you realize that Iran has over one million soldiers with more still in training? Have you read about what happened to America during Vietnam war? If you haven't go and read about it.

Second U.S. military Black Hawk helicopters hit by Iranian Missile on Friday while engaging in a search-and-rescue mission for
the crew of a downed F15 American fighter jet

🚨 Iran just claimed another scalp.

Tasnim News (state-affiliated) reports:
Second US Black Hawk helicopter hit by Iranian forces during the frantic search-and-rescue for their downed F-15E pilot.

America’s rescue birds keep getting tagged in Iranian airspace.

Is the rescue operation a success or not? grin

A jet was downed and the US could still rescue one pilot. In the rescue operation two helicopters were struck but they all still made it. Imagine it was a full blown war and the Iranians have a full US fleet of aircrafts and ground troops to contend with?

Among the three countries involved in this war, which one is actually avoiding civilian casualties? Is it US that bombed over 200 school children, Israel that had been bombing hospitals and even water sources or Iran that have been targeting military bases ?

Just hear yourself.

If US is bombing aimlessly and anywhere just like Iran is doing, do you think you'll be saying this?
So far, all we've seen is them targeting specific military infrastructure and key people in the terrorist regime. Do you think if US want to clear off the entire Iran that it'll take them any time?
Do you think the bomb used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki has finished or there's no better ones since then?
See Iran and how they were bombing all their neighbors whom they feel are American allies. These are people who didn't do anything to them, but they just have to bully them anyways. I hope if America start bombing them carelessly as they're doing, you won't cry too much?
The truth of the matter is that US is fighting for a regime change for Iranians, who has been tortured and terrorized by its own govt. See the way people were happy when their supreme leader was eliminated.

You left out a key detail, the pilot was rescued yesterday, and those helicopters were likely on a recovery mission.
This is exactly the problem with selective reporting. When context is missing, the narrative becomes distorted. If I relied solely on what’s posted here, I’d assume Iran is winning, when in reality it’s a half-baked, one-sided story.

The way some of you comment on Nairaland, would make foreigners think Nigerians are generally dumb people. Have you even seen the topography of Iran as a country and how big it is? Any invading force is definitely going on a suicide mission. Even if America uses all their weapons against Iran, they can't defeat them in 48hrs. Not even in a week. Majority of their missile launchers are buried inside mountains that bombs can't get to. Today alone, they have confirmed loss of 2 fighter jets and 2 helicopters plus a very expensive drone...

On the issue of civilian casualties, the US/Israel has killed more civilians in Iran than Iran has killed in all the nations they have attacked in the Middle East currently and the nos are not even close.

Tell them another thing about good muslim Iranian soldiers were in this war, not chicken ones like gulf Arabs, READINESS TO DIE AS MYTHRES IN THE DEFENSE OF THEIR COUNTRY. So, 'eliminated' Israeli words is a laughing matter!
