I am neither a Muslim nor from Northern Nigeria.
CBN and Minister of commerce? These guys fought an 8-year US-sponsored war with Iraq. Are you aware that this war was affecting US relations with other gulf nations as it was becoming a reality that they were not safe from Iran? What about the rising oil prices in the USA?
You're the one being emotional here. The US never negotiated with Iraq, so why was there a negotiation with Iran that they finally had to accede to?
Let's face it, Iran shocked the world in this war. I know you were thinking that by now, Trump would have installed the Son of the Shah by now as the new leader but the reality is what it is.
Are you better or more knowledgeable concerning iran economy compared to it cnb governor and commerce minister? The answer is NO.
Talking about raising price of oil, are you aware that it wasn't the US alone that felt the shock? Abi ur hatred for dem made you think they were the only ones affected?
Militarily the US use of military weapons didn't yielded much result as expected but they had to switch to the Naval blockade and that was were the Iranians had no choice other than to make a deal with the US.
What actually brought about this war was that the Iranians should not obtain a nuclear weapon (remember during late Ali Khameini's reign he said the issue of Irans high grade uranium enrichment is a red line for them/Non-negotiable).
I will urge you to pray for Abbas Araghchi and Muhammed Gbalibaf in other for ur hardline brothers not to execute them for negotiating a bad deal for them.

Ikorodu and oshodi branch of Iran no go gree this your talk ooooh...

Them fit bet with their last card, say America lost the beating because this one no be war grin

All your leaders are kpaied, all your top generals are kpaied.

So how you take win the war self? grin
You should watch Rep Sarah Jacobs and others talk first with analysis from their own side.

I am heavily against taking sides in matters like this.

The two nations would spend so much time rebuilding what they destroyed, not to mention the lost lives, wasted because someone was trying to make a point. Only the Israeli were minimally affected.

The inflation disturbed everyone even us in Nigeria.

So, it was all a waste of everyone's time.

How did USA won the war?
After agreeing to pay $12billion from the frozen funds of Iran.
And each Ship that moves through the strait of Hormuz must pay levies.
You are a learner in world Politics.
You don smoke again. Is the 12 billion dollars not Iran's money. You are lying because nobody is paying Iran any levies.

With this I 100 percent believe whatever trump says about the i-ranian situation.

Their country has lost its military, they have been begging to negotiate but just saving face grin

If the i-ranian had any bargaining chip, they would have included Israel leaving Lebanon grin

But hell no, them no born them tooooooo tongue

Even, if the regime change doesn't come now, it would come later a case study Syria.

Most of their hardliners are all died with 72 virgins besides them grin
Not only that, they know Trump is facing a mid-term elections soon
If they were not desperate they'd have refused a deal till after the elections, and embarrass him

Do you think I am 100% of the war Iran is fighting with Israel and America, Netanyahu is cunning he knows iran has a future potential he decided to drag iran into an unprovoked war he forces it to spend resources that could have been used for growth and development. Sometimes avoiding a war is a smarter strategy than fighting one.
Iran have have been spending their resources sponsoring terrorism across the world to the detreme of their citizens
Re: Strait Of Hormuz: Five Iranian Ships Pass As US Lifts Naval Blockade by bigpicture001: 5:48pm On Jun 16
The US lost woefully...

Giving a terror regime 300billion dollars is sheer madness.

Let Trump stand away from.ukraine war ND allow Ukraine breathe, the Man Trump is all mouth, no action.

EU has taken the lead in the security of Ukraine ND ukraine now depend less on the US for military hardware ND money...


Let Trump stay far away..he is not a friend of justice

Na you negotiated the 300 billion for the USA. Radio without battery!
For your delusional thoughts, Donald Trump America will pay Iran 300 billion dollars.
JSYK, as reported by Aljazeeza, there's no such payment in the deal
go and tell that to JD Vance that said it himself.

If it will negotiated 300 billion to stop the nuclear deal .plus all the damages done to those nuclear sites despite all the billions spent already then that’s a good deal by USA .

If you’re using the meat up there you’ll know that 300b is nothing compare to the nuclear stoppage.
how is it related to the initial post of USA.blocking the straight just so they can negotiate opening something they closed?.

How did your Iran challenge! America.....by bombing other Gulf countries economic resources.... funny ....
Your Iran should thank their stars for now that Trump is not a military man !nd playing cool with your Iran regime
Closing the strait of homuz, shooting down of American aircraft, iran missile programme is enough challenge.

American and Europe never used their land for battle field and the gulf states are trying to emulate such lifestyle, the gulf states will be the one to caution America if it was to bring war at their doorstep. America won't even think of it.

Do you know what give birth to both hezbollah and hamas.
Hezbollah was created to prevent further invasion of southern Lebanon by Israel.
Hamas was created to prevent further occupation of Palestinians land by Israel.

Israel indirectly gave birth to this guys.

LeeSmart:
You're the one who's a learner sir
Let me correct yiu on dis, because it seems you all know nothing about geo politics
Firstly the money US is giving to Iran is not from the us pocket but rather Iranian money that was frozen. So lawfully iran deserves to receive that money take for instance abacha's loot that was rightful returned to Nigeria.
Secondly both the Iranians and Omanis are not collecting any levy for the transit of goods or crude. Reasons why the hardliners in iran are upset with Gbalibaf and Araghchi for negotiating a bad deal for them. Some are even publicly calling for their execution.
So please stop spreading fake rumours here sir/ma'am, i know you love the Iranian regime but plss stop with the fake news.
See who's correcting someone undecided undecided

Iran demanded that the money be released. Why did trump not refuse undecided

Una eyes go open by force and mind you, this is an MoU while talks are still ongoing.

Leepeak:
1. How the US Lost and Damaged Bases
Iran utilized a strategy of mass saturation, using low-cost one-way attack drones and precision ballistic missiles. Backed by reported intelligence sharing from Russia, Iran targeted the heavily concentrated network of US forward operating locations across the Middle East.

BBC

Widespread Base Degradation: Independent satellite imagery verified that at least 20 to 28 military sites used by US and allied forces were struck across eight countries.

BBC
Repeatedly Targeted Hubs: Airfields such as Ali Al-Salem Air Base (Kuwait), Al-Udeid Air Base (Qatar), and Prince Sultan Air Base (Saudi Arabia) were hit multiple times, proving that the US could not completely seal its airspace.

BBC
Critical Air Defense Failure: Iran successfully targeted the "eyes" of US air defense. Striking a THAAD radar system in Jordan ($485 million) and an AN/FPS-132 early warning radar at Al-Udeid in Qatar ($1.1 billion) left blind spots in the Pentagon's regional coverage. This forced the US to scramble and redeploy THAAD components from as far away as South Korea to fill the gaps.

BBC

2. The Financial Drain: "Bleeding Money"
The conflict exposed a devastating asymmetric cost curve for the United States, straining its military budget and domestic stockpiles.

Atlantic Council

Cost Category
Estimated Loss / Expenditure Strategic Impact
Destroyed Military Hardware $2.3 billion to $2.8 billion Loss of state-of-the-art surveillance planes ($700M), over a dozen MQ-9 Reaper drones, and refueling tankers.
Base Infrastructure Repairs $310 million to $800 million Direct physical damage to hangars, communication radomes, and facilities.
Initial Operational Burn Rate ~$1 billion per day The first 10 days alone racked up $10.35 billion in operational costs.
Supplemental War Funding Requested $200 billion Requested by the Trump administration to replenish spent munitions and fix damaged systems.
The "Cost-Imposition" Curve
The ultimate financial defeat for the US was the economic math of interception. Iran deployed thousands of Shahed-136 drones costing roughly $35,000 to $50,000 each. To counter them, the US was forced to fire Patriot interceptors costing $3.7 million each and THAAD interceptors costing $12.7 million per round. This 106-to-1 cost ratio severely depleted US domestic munitions stockpiles, creating high strategic risks for other global theaters like Ukraine and the Western Pacific.

CSIS | Center for Strategic and International Studies

3. Why the US Couldn't Fulfill Its Objectives
President Donald Trump and the US military entered the war intending to permanently destroy Iran’s nuclear program, degrade its conventional forces, and cut off its regional proxy networks. They failed to achieve these for three structural reasons:

BBC
Failure to Neutralize Iran’s Military Industrial Base
The Pentagon initially boasted that Iran's military was quickly neutralized. However, US intelligence later admitted that Iran reconstituted its drone and missile manufacturing capabilities far faster than expected—often within months. Driven by domestic industrial resilience and supply assistance from China and Russia, Iran maintained its capacity to retaliate throughout the conflict.

Al Jazeera
+2
The Collapse of the Gulf "Security Umbrella"
A core objective of the US presence in the Middle East is protecting its Arab Gulf allies and securing global energy corridors. Iran circumvented US defenses to strike critical infrastructure, hitting Dubai International Airport and the Ruwais refinery in the UAE. Furthermore, Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupted 20% of the world's oil supply and forced QatarEnergy to declare force majeure. Instead of proving American dominance, the war signaled to
After all these epistle AMERICA still had to lift their blockade for Iranian ships to resume using the strait.
Keep on deceiving yourself like American Military bases has stopped existing and non operational in the middle east.

NinjaMetahuman:

how is it not related ?

What caused the war was it not Iran trying to develop nuclear weapons and USA trying to stop them ?

Was it not as result of trying different methods of fighting the war that lead Iran to first blocked the strait of Hormuz in February 2026, when there was temporary seize fire Iran opened it and start collecting $1m per ship USA warned them they refused then USA blocked And Iran the. Blocked the gulf water ways .

Why then are you asking how it is related?
If you’ve do small research you’ve known all about the war what caused it how the strait was blocked e.t.c .

Is all about stopping Iran from anything nuclear ownership.
