Iran is always considering things they can never achieve....thats how they considered building a nuclear weapon, today both the people that conceived their idea, the supreme fool that sponsored it and a whole lot of their supporters are in Hell waiting for their demon virgins

Why wouldn’t they use every tool available to gain an edge? Sun Tzu said “Maneuver to hit the enemy where they are unprotected and unprepared.


It seems Iran is holding more cards than what trumpo thinks, Welcome to the penalty phase of FAFO
Iran is doing everything except attacking the US itself. A country with real strength wouldn’t resort to holding the whole world at ransom as its fighting cards. Fight who is fighting you and stop destroying what all of us are collectively sharing and enjoying. Isn’t this terrorism and isn’t this a solid argument and the reason why a country like this mustn’t be allowed to own nukes?😂😂
The US is killing your leaders and destroying your ships, why aren’t you bombing their ships and carriers in retaliation?
If this one get nuke, na to just bomb everybody rest because from everything they are doing, it’s obvious they don’t care if there actions are equally going to affect they themselves and their hungry supporters in Africa😂

Iran will soon claim control over oxygen passing through their territory.
Bunch of pissful losers
Dafck did I just read?😂😂
Let’s even judge this from a neutral perspective, with what Iran is doing, can we still say the US, West and Israel are just being paranoid over its nuclear weapon proliferation program? This country called Iran is using everything it has to attack others during wars and without restraints, now imagine such a country having nuclear weapons, do you think it would think twice before using them? What baffles me most is the fact that they do things without minding if it’s equally going to affect them😂😂 Now, isn’t this exactly what suicidal terrorists do? Pesin Dey punch you but instead of returning your own punches, it’s the spectators that are facing your wrath😂

When war rages between Countries or Groups, Players often resort to extreme measures just to compel the opponent to surrender and fulfill one’s will.

The unlawful Amerikan bombing of the Iranian School that killed 156 schoolchildren is an example.

This is also the reason why the United Snakes of Amerika always bombs Hospitals, Infrastructures, Power Plants & Schools in every Country where she wages war.

So in all fairness, I support Iran 100% on this move with a tumbler of chilled Heineken Beer. grin

After all, all is fair in love and war.
Amazing😂😂
So all is fair in love and in war right? May it not be well with you if you ever come here to condemn whatever atrocities (including massacres) the US/Israel perpetrate against Iran or Lebanon. Since all is fair in love and war, let both parties use what they have and what they know how to use best and let’s see who bows. All is fair in love and war but in this same sentence, you are lamenting over an alleged school-bombing😂

. You Muslims are really funny bunch. All fair in war abi?

How about if America uses nuclear weapon?
You people will quickly rush to mention nuclear weapon as if it is that easy to use.
Use of nuclear weapon will not only affect Iran, it will affect the majority of Middle East and resultant effect will affect globally. You think other nation's presidents will allow US to use nuclear weapon? They will never. You sef go suffer am.
Nuclear weapon is for deterrent, and that is is exactly why US could not attack any country who has it. Iran also want to have such security coverage.

That's what they said they will do and they kept their promise. The UAE...Saudi Arabia... Bahrain ... ...etc support Israel... are basically pawns of the Israelis ...and fight against Iran. Iran sees them as sell outs. They're still honouring the Peace Deal ... and will attack if attacked by Israel.

They will be super powers at the end of this conflict thanks to the idio.t Trump.
I that case ANY country can be superpower. Nigeria can become superpower by going to Hormuz or any other passagrway and harassing any ship that trys to get through till Insurance companies refuse to insure.
ANY country can do what Iran is doing. Cable doesn't pass only through Hormuz. Any country can start kidnapping leaders and scientists and threatening to kill them, holding the world at ransom.
Does that make them superpower or TERRORISTS??

Hypocrite:
Why not make references to the terrorist activity of Iran that has killed thousands of people all over the world, before the war that led to the death of 156 children in Iran?
If all is fair in war, then why do you complain?
And don't complain when US and Israel bomb and destroy major bridges, energy and power plans in Iran

This is too wrong this is weaponization of data and Internet traffic
The internet was designed to be a weapon. DO you know one oyibo pikin in Google data centre knows where you sleep every night? I am telling you this because I know you have a gmail account. Very few things are stopping governments like the USA from bombing your house at night like they did in Iran. Israel does the same thing too and they happily brag about it.

It's even 1000x easier now that every phone the average person buys today has a GPS module, in fact you are paying to be tracked by the internet. Nobody on nairaland takes internet security serious, as shown by having a poll contesting if a country under attack by the United States should not control their internet, so make una rest.

Never knew we had so many terrorists on this platform. Iran is contemplating tampering with the Internet cable belonging to other continents and some terrorists are saying it's a welcome development.

But if the effect comes back to hunt your own country and things escalate, you would blame your president, forgetting that your country rely on the west for a number of things. So, when they're in crisis, the spiral effects hit your country too.

In the first place, Iran has no business blocking the strait of houmouz because it didn't create it. But blocking it now has affected oil prices all over the world but you're here blaming your president that fuel is now 1,350.

Just continue cheering them on. We are all in it together.

A terrorist will always be a terrorist.
Quick question, why did Iran block it?

In case you forgot the question, let me ask you again - - - Why did Iran block it?

You should ask Iran that question because in my own opinion, Iran lacks the rights to block it. And even attempting to block it is an affront to the entire world or to test their patience.

Remember that the strait is only a path through which the vessels transport the world oils and other items. The strait was not created by Iran, it only passes through their bother. Imagine that all the countries along the route also choose to be that unreasonable, what would it look like.

So, you have no basis supporting Iran. Even your country here is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean where vessels pass to other countries, why does your country not go there to block it just because of one thing or the other.

Iran is seeking revenge against America for intervening in their injustice to the citizens. So, Iran wants the whole world to suffer the consequences so that they would see America as the cause.. meanwhile, that was a very wrong way to transfer aggression. America has come to fight you, you are at liberty to respond directly, not making the entire world to suffer for what we know nothing about.
