Unfair For Iran To Lack Ballistic Missiles If Other Countries Have Them - Trump by omenka(op): 3:00pm On Jun 18

President Donald Trump said ‌on Wednesday that it would be unfair for Iran not to have ballistic missiles if other countries have them.

"I'm saying that ⁠if other countries have them, it's a little bit unfair for them not to have some," Trump told reporters in Paris.

"If Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and they all have some, I would ‌say ⁠in relative proportion, I think it's okay."

Trump also said the United States would leave its military in the ⁠Gulf "for a while" after Washington struck a deal with Tehran to end its ⁠nearly four-month conflict in the region.

What they really had against him, I believe, were the redacted pages of the Epstein files. I wonder what happened to those portions and why he's grown such big balls against Bibi and his regime.

Iran doesn't need anyone permission to own or use their ballistic missile.

As for the nukes, I'm very sure Iran has it already just deceiving the world.

Iran is cold out but very hot inside. When you come for them only then you will know how hot they are.

For President Putin to say that Iran has some weapons that the world could only imagine.

Sentiments aside, if I become Nigeria president tomorrow, I will be sending our brilliant engineering students to Russia, United States, Israel and Iran to go and learn how to make weapons.

Not mind games. You see that seemingly little leverage Iran has called the strait of Hormuz, it is like a fire ant on the scrotal sac of a Goliath.

The Persians are an extremely stubborn people to deal with, and understandably so. This is a civilization that is thousands of years older than those of their worst adversaries. That should come with some measure of advantages, not withstanding America's scientific superiority. These are people with a lot more years of experience in war compared to Israel, Arabs, and the US combined.

We have a lot to learn from what's happening.

The deal represents heaven on earth for Iran tbh. The concessions from US are unbelievable. And what's more unbelievable is that these concessions were given in exchange for, wait for it, a return to status quo ante!!

Iran deserve their flowers on this one

Lol, he is now seeing the reality of things much ado about nothing. This is far worse than the Obama deal he loves to hate . Iran got more than before the war . Plus if they ever get to charge for the straight of Harmuz that will make Iran more richer and dangerous.

He's sensing a general trend in the US as opinion about Israel is shifting from positive to extremely negative. The influence of AIPAC and Miriam Adelson is coming clearer, and most Americans are exhausted with the narrative that their taxes are funding social welfare and military excesses of Israel.

Netanhayu allowed his far-right coalition to drive him towards such egregious humanitarian excesses that even staunch supporters of Israel in Europe and the US are pinching their noses in disgust.

It's almost impossible to salvage the image of Israel in Europe and the US now. Except they unleash a massive false flag operation and pin it on the usual suspects: radical islamists.

Iran never had a nuclear weapon and never intended to. Yes, they were stockpiling uranium as deterrence but were never close to building one or wiping Israel of the face of the earth as Trump put it. Trump is just dumb and egoistical as usual. His war changed nothing. The existing deal with Obama was valid. Iran had a leverage (Strait of Hormuz) that was largely underestimated by the World and they used that to bring Trump to his knees.

For someone with sympathies to Iran, you are simply justifying Trump and Israel's attack without knowing it

Hmmm, I hope. Except for JFK, no US president has ever openly criticized Israel/Israeli PM like Trump did recently. JFK was killed immediately after that.

AIPAC has always been in the play, that's why every US president, Republican or Democrat, has always supported Israel

Terrorists sympathisers can continue with their propaganda.

The biggest winner is the Isrealites.

Supreme leader is dead

Military chiefs are dead

No nuclear weapons

Strait of hormus is opened

Lebanon is still under attack.

Isreal remains the biggest winner 🏆.
