We shall see. Lots of delusional people. The world has gone mad. A country is holding the world hostage by threatening to bomb ship that use the international water but some stupid people think that a becoming superpower country. Country with no leader. All their leaders was bombed. Was swayed by fake News and couldn't capture a single soldier in their soil. Bombing their neighbors because they don't know how to respond. |

God1000:Iran has always been a world power since ancient time, if conquering other lands is what it means to be one. In about 500 BC, their King Cyrus of Persia (now called Iran) conquered part of Europe and the whole of the Mediterranean area and so called Middle East down to Egypt. He set the Hebrews free from slavery under the king of Babylon. This is one of many ways you know that the people calling themselves Jews in Israel today are not the descendants of the Hebrews the Bible or Jewish holy book is talking about because Persia (Iran) was a friendly nation to the Hebrews in the Bible. What Persia did in about 500 BC, Europeans did it in about 332 BC. That's about 200 years later. Iran would actually have continued to exert some influence but they abandoned their native religion (Mithraism and Zorarastarism) and instead adopted Islam. That's when they died because whenever a people adopt language, education, religion from a foreigner, the result is always that you'll use it to put down yourself in the long run |

mhmsadyq:"America humbled to negotiation" Chai,, you be Olodo. They wouldn't use people as shield to avoid bombing. They were proudly stubborn. China and Pakistan had to tell them to go to the negotiation table because if they don't hell would happen there. |

jmoore:But a world power can threaten to bomb infrastructure. What is the people without infrastructure? |

Westman001:Trump and his supporters are known for bare faced lying and deranged ranting. Whoever said any agreement was signed. There were proposals drafted by Iran which Trump initially rejected and later accepted as the basis for negotiation. Why Trump supporters are so slow is beyond me. |

falopey:all these are America propaganda Ask yourself why America and it's media is always the one speaking on behalf of themselves and Iran They said supreme leader is out and unconscious later they would tell you he was the one that approved peace deal Iran is very much in charge of that space and it's the ships and countries concerned that know the true story, if they could they would have helped themselves than allow Iran keep them bay America is toast it can never return back to fight, it has simply surrendered while Iran is still striking drones as ND controlling homuz The negotiations would end up favouring the one currently with leverage not the empty boaster ranting of a re newwar it has backed down from That's why trump peace deal intitiated before and during the war all of them failed cos he has no cards, now he is gradually falling into pro Iran deal makers |

Westman001:Why would America bomb infrastructure if no be frustration. America was humbled! |

Nextjs:Reduced to nothing yet America and Isreal could not stop them from closing the Hormuz? How do you guys even think ffs? Reduced to nothing but forced almighty America to the negotiation table? As I type The Vice president of America is on air heading to Pakistan to negotiate |

God1000:Iranian president, you no de tire? lol |

Emeskhalifa:Trump don't want a prolonged war.. The aim is to take out the leadership, nuclear program etc and that was achieved within weeks So now the new leadership will now think twice before they talk nuclear again. |

ElSudani:Isreal has been existing before 1947 just like yoruba, igbo, Benin, hausa have been existing before before 1960. Search histories. Even the Romansn documented how they destruction of Jerusalem even Emperor Vespasian and his son Titus celebrated Read read

saintopus:You clearly don't kno that morden world power has to do with influence.... China is a business enterprise. It'll be easy for any country to walk away from any affiliation with China because they don a direct transactional approach |

Johncarlo07:World power for a reason, A country (USA) is at war with another country (Iran), and it is fighting from her base in another country (US base in the middle East), yet they still sniffed the life out of the most protected man in the enemy country (Iran), same enemy country (Iran) is still using humans as shield. Meanwhile the US is doing all these from their base in another country, only a world power country like US can do that. It is hard to accept, but that's the reality kpele. |

mhmsadyq:Pesin beat you still come tell you say make you no cry say make you allow make peace reign and you took that as a win?😭😂😂 No bro, that isn't fair. A strong country wouldn't want to negotiate until at least, he's able to have his own pound of flesh. Your silly logic is akin to Russia urging Ukraine to come up to the negotiation table after having killed Zelensky and several hundreds of the Ukranian army generals and Ukraine declaring victory saying since the call for a ceasefire was brought up by Russia, Ukraine wins the war😂😂 |

UrVillageChief:Why America gree to go Pakistan for the negotiation. Afterall, America started the war. On what ground are they going for the negotiation? |

Gotocourt:They don't even know what they are saying. Peace is good, we all wish so. US knows what is at stake if they don't prove to Iran who is the boss. The strait could have still been liberated if US was out for it. Though it would be when they will be left with no option. |
| Re: The War Is Turning Iran Into A Major World Power - Dr. Robert A. Pape by dappydozzy(m): 6:02pm On Apr 11 |
Gotocourt:Yrs, we know, but Iran is not a signatory to the UN Convention on the Law of the Seas. The Strait of Hormuz can never remain the same after this war. Iran does not need to close it before it disrupt oil flows from the Gulf. That is why Russian and China vetoed the UN resolution on the use of force to open the Strait of Hormuz, as long as there is a military conflict the Strait of Hormuz cant be crossed. |

mhmsadyq:Bro, that's the modern strategy of war. The goal was to weakened them. While kill people when you can just take what is their means of prosperity and power. |

Nextjs:That was centuries BC, and you are talking about the ancient Jews, the Isrealites Not the State of Isreal. Even the ancient Hebrews lingua is different from the Modern Hebrew. Yorubas, Hausa, are not a basis of comparison for the current State of Isreal. The current Isreal is what we Yorubas call " ShakuShaku". |
| Re: The War Is Turning Iran Into A Major World Power - Dr. Robert A. Pape by Westman001: 6:20pm On Apr 11 |
ElSudani:Here is your statement bro, "...Trump basically surrendered and agreed to 10 points plan..." Who is bare faced lying with this your new comment now. You are saying no agreement was made, saying you never said that. But you literally said it from what I quoted. Acceptance of Iran point does not mean it is agreed upon or Trump surrendered. |
| Re: The War Is Turning Iran Into A Major World Power - Dr. Robert A. Pape by dappydozzy(m): 6:29pm On Apr 11 |
Nextjs:The US can't stop Iran from talking nuclear, there are several applications of nuclear technology apart from weapons, in field of medicine, energy etc. Every country need the energy mix, that is why the US cant dictate for Iran. Iran can only limit its nuclear programme by not enriching uranium, but telling Iran not to talk of nuclear is out of it. Isreal has being assasinating Iran's nuclear scientists as far back as early 2000's thinking it will slow down their nuclear programs because a lot of young Iranian scientists have mastered the technology . |
