Re: Trump Hints Iran Talks Could Resume This Week As US Maritime Blockade Continues by Katell:
Can someone tell this nuisance to face his war and stop disturbing us with his ranting. Is he the only one at war? Putin has been at war since 2022 and "pim" he has not altered. He focused on his war. even Benjamin Netanyahu who owned the war is silent. Even Iran muted. But for the nuisance, he want to issue statement every minute and some he will contradict himself, some he will delete later. He lied, he bragged and exhibit all forms of shenanigans too low for a nigerian local government chairman not to talk of president of United States of America. How did Americans get it this wrong ? I really wish Jack Dorsey is still the owner of Twitter now X and 'yank' him off like he did to him during his first term.

You started an unprovoking war and what to bully them to submission. Who does that ? Only the lowIQ will not see that you are practically begging to end the war you started. Instead of you to think before you leap, you leap and now thinking about negotiation. Would you have been talking about negotiation if you were able to demystified Iran as you have wanted ?

I called him international nuisance because his activities on social media is becoming nauseating and irritating. He could have used the time he used on disseminating propaganda about the war could be converted to how to resolve the shutdown issue of department of homeland security whose staff has been furloughed the dwindling economy as well.

You people overestimate the US.

In just 3 weeks of war with an underdog like Iran the Americans have already run low on their ammunitions stockpile...just imagine what would happen if they face a more capable opponent like Europe, Russia or China undecided
Why can't you people give up for once on your propagandas.
For your mind you think if Trump want to deal Iran the way Iran regime have been provoking him this war won't have ended just few days ehhh.
Trump is just using stick and carrot on Iran regime because of Iranians that has nothing to do with this their government terrorism,if it has been Gazans Trump will even allow Netanyahu to finish the job knowing that both their civilians and Hamas are the same

And you assume that it is the same weapons that were used to fight Iran that they will use to fight both Russia or China?

Can Russia or China attack say Israel? Do you know how far from Iran Is US? Have you thought of the logistics nightmare? The precision capabilities? the Launch bases? The intelligence?

If Russia could, Zelenskyy will be long dead. US eliminated the supreme leader of a country as powerful as Iran within minutes, and killed 250 top military and civilian leaders in 3 weeks.

No other country ever in the history of mankind has been half this powerful.

Hate him or love him, Trump is the Real Guy. He is a master strategist in the global scheme of power play. Russia and China will continue hoping forever, till thy kingdom come. Their wish will never happen. America is miles ahead of them all.

How can you hate someone that follows strictly in the delivery of his campaign promises to Americans? Based on that he got a landslide victory. This is how not to be a Nigerian politician. tongue

Iran is tired of their own blockade

grin grin grin


But there is something that most people are obviously overlooking:
The alignment of muslim countries, with the actions of Iran.
People are not taking note that, for these muslim countries, even if the action of Iran hurts them badly, they still covertly support Iran by giving them the moral support and refusing to rise against them, while in the back, trying to protect themselves from the same terrorism by begging the US and Israel to finish the Job.
That is hypocrisy at its peak.

Saudi Arabia has an army, 10 times more powerful than Iran, but will swallow every one of Iran's actions other than taking action themselves.
The Kurds have been persecuted by the Iranian for a long time, yet they refused America offer to supply them with teh capacity to defeat the very IRGC that has been genoc!d!ng their towns. Simply because they believe it is a religious war in which Iran is the muslim country that should be supported. They had better have the situation in which Iran wins, they celebrate the victory of their religion, and their suffering continues. They are more loyal to religion than to life, and to the good life.
Lies from pits of hell, Iran has bigger army than saudi. Battle tested war veterans and disciplined army that fought for 8 years against Iraq. They fought against Al queda,ISIS, IDF and US army compared to saudi army with zero battle experience, same goes for all muslim countries in the middle east.
The kurds were betrayed several times in the past by the US government, especially recently in Syria .
Iran warned all of them before the war, all America assets in their country is a legitimate target in case US strikes Iran.
The war wasnt a religious war, they were helpless, there was nothing they could do against Iranian missiles and drones, the America bases that were supposed to protect them were all destroyed by Iran. Saudi and UAE begged USA to strike Iran from the beginning, they see Iran as enemy.

For your information the American fighter jets that were used in the attacks did not take off from mainland US, they majorly took off from foreign air bases.

The US's logistics power comes from having foreign bases and I can tell you for a fact that at least 90% of those bases belong to European countries especially the UK.

If the US were in a confrontation with Europe they would not have access to these bases which also houses American radar stations...this would severely weaken the attack capabilities of the Americans.

The only reason why the US has the largest fleet of aircraft carriers is because they have access to foreign bases (which do not even belong to them) which provide stop over points and support for them; remove these foreign bases and the advantage the US has will be severely impaired.

The US is not as invincible as you people think. I dare Trump to withdraw the US from NATO like he has threatened let us see who will be the biggest loser!

Shut up your dirty mouth. Why can't he block the strait before the ceasefire. He's just throwing things here and there to see what click. Can him even sustain it stupid blockade for long. China "sanctioned" ship passed thru successful a day before yesterday, they no born him papa well make US attack or stop it.

Last time also Russia ship successful went to Cuba he no fit do am nothing. He's only flexing muscle against Iran. If the ceasefire broke down all those yeye fleet will be sunk in a jiffy.

Werey with mental instability just they behave anyhow and his ilk here they support am. Nosense if they born him papa well he should attack china ships, his house in US wouldn't be safe from attack but they're cowards, ones they see their match that can inflict equal measure of hell on them they wouldn't dare attack them.

I thought Trump said he doesn't want to talk again , lols
The most dangerous person to fight is someone who has nothing more to lose . Even the USA economy can't withstand a full Iranian war . A full scale war will push oil prices to over 150 to 200 dollars per barrel , which economy can withstand that ? Trump just wanted billion upon billions on a useless war that could have been avoided or even stopped much earlier , maybe after just 2 weeks

Re: Trump Hints Iran Talks Could Resume This Week As US Maritime Blockade Continues by Richcreed(m): 9:33am On Apr 15
Washington ultimately doesn’t care that the Strait of Hormuz got closed. What upset the Trump Administration the most is that it was closed for the United States, Israel and their European and Gulf Arab vassals. Trump simply wants to blockade the Strait on its own terms, meaning cutting off Beijing’s energy supply and waging economic warfare against China.

That is why the Pentagon is sending Marine divisions to the Persian gulf in recent days and also why Trump openly announced a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz despite declaring a ceasefire in Iran and Lebanon that both the administration and Tehran had confirmed had been based on Iran’s ten point demands.

Of course the Trump Administration tried to walk it back by claiming the document they were given by Foreign Affairs Minister Araghchi was different from the Supreme National Security Council’s proposal. However, the administration has endlessly lied both about their justifications for the war, the realities on the battlefield, and the military capabilities of both the US and Iran.

It must be noted that before Trump agreed to a ceasefire in Lebanon, which has already been violated numerous times by the Israelis, he deliberately planned for the Iran ceasefire to exclude Lebanon, reaching this decision only after a demanding phone call from Netanyahu.

He was hoping that Tehran would respond to the Israel’s massacre of Lebanese civilians in Beirut so he would have an excuse to resume strikes on Iranian territory.

Naval-based economic warfare has become the Trump Administration’s doctrine and China is the ultimate target. The United States wanted force Iran to reopen Hormuz for the markets of the Western aggressors while also closing the Strait for shipments to China.

NATO’s Ukraine proxy war against Russia and US aggression in the Middle East, Latin America and Greenland are specifically about controlling global chokepoints and energy flows:

▪️ Russia
▪️ Venezuela
▪️ Persian Gulf
▪️ Panama Canal
▪️ Suez Canal
▪️ Strait of Hormuz
▪️ Strait of Malacca
▪️ Northern Arctic Route

Trump is essentially declaring total war on the Belt & Road Initiative and on BRICS. And what used to be a geopolitical chessboard has now become a game of Ancient Chinese Go or of that old board game known as Risk.

A major reason why Trump is waging these wars is at the behest of the demands of Netanyahu and the Israelis, but also of the energy oligarchs who have benefitted greatly from the rises of oil prices and the bankers who want to turn Iran into a debt colony for the IMF.

However, there is an overemphasis on Israel’s influence when the US’ has spent decades planning to wage war against China. And this new naval economic warfare doctrine is the first step in Trump’s plans for World War 3.

Fake news like this give you people false hope. American dropped less than 500 bombs in Iran. So you believe a Super power like American has only 500 bombs?

For your infor, USA has about 7000 nuclear war heads alone, how much more ordinary bombs. Benin Republic will have nothing less than 10k bombs in their arsenal. Stop cooking propaganda in your bedroom

Donald Trump looks like the one begging for a way out of this war
Are you suggesting that NYT was telling lies in their news report below huh

Botragelad:
According to a report from the New York Times (NYT), Iranian officials had proposed suspending its uranium enrichment for up to five years in its weekend talks with the United States (US) in Pakistan.

The report also states that the US Vice President (VP) JD Vance-led team rejected the five-year offer and insisted for 20-year suspension.


However, US VP Vance didn't discuss the same in his interview with Fox News, earlier in the day. Vance clarified in the interview that Iran giving up its nuclear ambitions and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz are non-negotiable terms.

Smh, I thought opening the hormuz is your ambition, US Naval blockade is not even close to Iran ports, The U.S. Navy positioned several hundreds of nautical miles away, in the Arabian Sea far away from Iran between the area of Sohar in Oman and Bandar Jask. Why not near Iran Hormuz?

Maria Bartiromo, Fox News correspondent, interviewed President Trump,

She says Trump kept referring to the Iran War in the past tense, so she asked him: ‘Is it over?’, and Trump said: ‘It’s over’.

Indicating that Trump is truly tired of the war and wants to bring it to an end soon, and there will likely be new talks.''

grin grin grin

I can bet, since 1940, when there has actually been an Arab consolidation (development of an arab region), you can't name one country with which Iran has fought other than Iraq. And in that Iraq war, Iran was beaten hands down and was only helped by the US since the US saw Iraq as an untrusted partner that had the capacity to become a regional power. The only boast of Iran is internal rebellion and unconventional armies like the Kurds, ISIS, etc.

Saudi Arabia has fought far more formidable foes like Israel, Yemen, the Gulf wars, etc.

And yes, everyone knows that you all take it as a religious war; that is why the victims in Iran are referred to as "martyrs."
That is why ALL muslims support Iran
That is why Muslim countries are afraid to rise against Iran, not because Iran can do anything more (they have done their worst), but because they are afraid of what their own countrymen (muslims) would say about it.

But anyway, the good thing is that they are bearing the brunt of their decisions. Iran is even afraid of attacking Israel, which is at war with it. Also, Iran smells that weakness. That is why they have leveraged on it.
Thank God for Israel.

But you don't understand all...
No ground war yet ...so no need to have too many countries lunch against Iran same time ...coordination will be complicated and may result into too many friendly fire ....
And Muslims does not mind killing themselves..eg....Sudan.....Pakistan and Afghanistan ....Saudi/ Yemen/ Emirates
And current one Iran destroys anything available within reach in Gulf Muslims countries
