Empresa:You dey mind them Their eyes go soon clear. Bahrain categorically said that Iran can't lay claim to the strait of Homuz as it belongs to the whole gulf states. Your jubilation that Iran would control the strait of Homuz will soon be cut short. Just wait for the negotiations to be concluded |

zegxy:Iran never said it belong to them. What they are saying is any ship that pisses by their country had better pay money. The problem is people can bomb ships from Iran side so to stop that Iran had to be brought on board. |

zegxy:Why did Bahrain not open the strait? Why did Trump basically surrendered and agreed to 10 points plan they initially rejected. They feel so embarrassed they couldn't openly tell Americans what they agreed to. |

US negotiated with the Taliban, now in (of all places) Islamabad negotiating with the IRGC. USA: we do negotiate with terrorists! 😂 |

8 donleo92:This type of comment is called junior opinion. The article clearly states that Iran's ability to effectively control traffic in the straits of Hormuz makes them an important power. Does Vietnam have a strait of Hormuz or something similar to control? Junior opinion |

UrVillageChief:Even if they have killed everyone in the country. America has been humbled to negotiation with its tail between it legs, mediated by a third party that is more of an ally to Iran than America. This is very significant to the image of Iran. Israel cannot go close to the Pakistan because Israel has been an enemy of Pakistan since since since. |

A world power whose economy and currency is in shambles A world power that can't protect her leaders, top officials and facilities 😂😂😂 A world power forcing civilians to form human shield A thread for terrorists sympathizers |

donleo92:Because they responded and defended themselves against the bully, USA which a lot of you are angry about. They bombed Isreal- the choosen feefle indeed Them bomb the gulf states whr host usa missles Them bomb usa interests all in the middle east Them block strait of hormuz which has effected the dollar but we’ll soon start seeing the effects on the long run. The usa only took out the old, lenient Ayatolah and replaced him with a more angrier one. Is it by the top military, leaders and scientists usa killed? No!! Its by achieveming your aim. Even the enriched Uranium the USA never see

If any Muslim country will ever be among world power in this Earth, it will be Saudi Arabia. Iran is not a world power material. You can't be world power by terrorist act. There's difference between being a strong man and a trouble maker. |

Iran is gradually becoming a failed State like Syria, Yemen and Lebanon |

donleo92:no mond them yes Iran control a critical aspect of the trade doesn't make them a super power. Saudi,Qata,Bahrain still have scores to settle with Iran and surely the regime can't even make anything close to enrichment of uranium |

ElSudani:You don't know who arms hezbollah in labenon? You don't know who armed Hamas. don't pretend you don't know when all this started? Hamas killed hundreds of isreali and kidnapped them took them to gaza in October 7 attack. Isreal responded with force.. The case of Iran was also tied to this October 7. Go n search for iran leader speech. The one that was killed... He said "isreal don't have right to exist" That the day they get nuclear weapon they will wipe them off. You expect isreal to fold their arms n watch like ur Nigerian government? They had to get US support to wipe out the scientist, wipe out the generals, the leadership etc destroy the site. Hoping the dead leader will come to terms but didn't instead he continued rebuilding and he was taken out. Let everyone leave in peace but note that isreal won't fold their arms in middle East. They will trouble those countries that are hostile to them. |

So true! To be a world power the country has to always lose most of its leaders in the first wave of any war just as Iran often does. Funny people! |
| Re: The War Is Turning Iran Into A Major World Power - Dr. Robert A. Pape by ElSudani: 3:34pm On Apr 11 |
Nextjs:I know when it started. In 1947 when Israel was created in Palestine and the systematic attempt by Israel to create an apartheid state and kill anyone who says otherwise. |

This professor is professing rubbish. Losing your head of state and top military command easily, completely losing your air space to foreign powers etc,these are not the characteristics of a world power.The Iranians are quite formidable and resilient because they don't fear death,which is quite common with people who have a religious ideology.The Americans are negotiating because they don't want American casualties which they will definitely have if they do a ground invasion. |

Gotocourt:But why the cry for resource control in Nigeria? Is oil in Niger delta artificially created? Na question I just ask oooo. |

higgs:What you are saying is that military superiority alone is sometimes not enough, right? That is exactly what the prof is saying. |

donleo92:Bros just laugh them... Because china transferred cluster bombs to Iran regime and they lunch missiles..that make them stupid power .... But Isreal that know all your movements including when you are top of your wife is underestimated Even Russia and China knows Israelis are dangerous specie |

Truthissupreme:. In the latest news, Iran is unable to open the strait because they don’t have the capability and infrastructure to remove all the land mine planted in the sea. They plant the mines but can’t find them. That’s why the strait is closed. This is how Iran has shut themselves in the foot because now America will take over the strait since America has ocean mine sweeper. Iran can’t open it because they don’t know how to remove the mines . They just gave America the legitimacy to take it |
