Israel has gone solo before and it had a better outcome.
Israel is capable of matching Iranian escalation. Blocking the strait of hormuz doesn't concern Israel that much so Iran doesn't have much leverage.
When did the bolded happen. Don't derail with strait of hormuz as its not part of the discussion.

Then let Israel attack Iran independently let's see who will come out on top. Question for you: why have they always lobbied US for a joint attack if they could go solo?
What do you mean?
grin grin grin

Iran fired missiles into Israel as their normal posturing for you guys in Nigeria to clap. Israel blew up more than 200 targets just for the dummy missiles fired into Israel from Iran.

What independence do you mean?

You mean independent as in the US allowing Israel do what they want to do? Can Iran survive it? Without a no-kill list, will there be an IRGC?

How Iran stood alone to fight these two nations should be studied as a course in all Western universities.
Ukraine has exposed to us that Russia is only big in African media,
Iran has exposed to us that the USA is nothing without nuclear weapons
Because they survived?

How about the Taliban?
Shouldn't they also be studied?
How about ISIS?
Didn't they also survive?
How about Hezbollah?
Didn't they survive?
Why should Iran be studied?

Because of survival?

All skirmish israel has done was done jointly with US and that's why there was a no kill list. Their attack on Lebanon is all Israeli, let them do same against Iran abi e too hard for the strong nation?

US was never at war with Iran like the Russian-Ukraine war. Let congress approve a war and you will see wonders. This was Trump misadventure that the Iranians resisted well.

You are too funny.

I am telling you that if the US had taken off the no-kill list, the same list that spared the life of the supreme leader in the 12-day war, there would be no IRGC today.

Too much for an "Iran superpower."

Obama has being vindicated. Obamas crime in the US 🇺🇸 is that he dismantled white hegemony and brought black diversity and then took diversity to a weird extent.

With Obama, diversity that is, all races from black to brown to yellow, even Latino, Arab, Asians with the skills worked in government spaces they only dreamt about.

But like a Samson, Obama got carried away with LGBT ++ nonsense.
But like a David touch not my anointed and do my people no harm.
He messed up with that useless, nonsense and devilish LGBT.

I don't know how some of you reason,a process is on going but you people are rushing to conclusions, Trump may be rash but he will certainly get a better deal with Iran n Iran will never be a nuclear power,Iran would soon know it level n limit.

It is very hard to fight a targeted war and win in a country where you dont have boots on ground. If Russia would fight Ukraine with no value for civilian casualties then Ukraine would have become dust by now . War is not easy to fight when civilians are involved. Same problem in Gaza, Lebanon, and that is the main reason Israel will find it hard to totally eraze hamas and hezbolla

Is there anything else that Israel can do to militarily defeat iran that they haven't done apart from using nukes?

They seem to have done everything. They can't get into a land battle with Iran and win. Unless with the help of other countries since they don't share land borders and Israel lack the military capabilities to invade a bigger state like Iran from afar..

So what else will they do that they haven't done?
Give an example..

There is.
We took out Osama, but that did not mean that we uprooted AlQaeda. It took some time.
We have taken out ayatollah, but that does not mean the IRGC is gone. It will take some time. But it will surely go.

What will hasten the process is only if the US loosens Israel's hands; then the process will be 50X faster.

If he said that and he carried it out by now the whole world would have been crying of genocide. Not that America lacked the power.

Yes, you are right my friend . The US is nothing without nuclear weapons since those were what they used to eliminate Ali Khameini and his entire household. You are right. 🤣

I’d say let’s wait and see if indeed this crop of IRGC leaders get the money.

Also, if the money will empower a moderate group with more pro-western values then I subscribe to it. After all Qatari funds spread pro-Palestine/sharia ideologies across American universities so if there’s a similar strategy then yes.
Why must they have pro western values? What happened to Iranian values? Why can’t a nation have her own values and not look towards the west for values?

Look at what western values have done to us? We are encouraged to save our wealth in their countries, build our dreams in their countries, so we end up with a generation of Nigerians and leadership who have absolutely no value for Nigerian values.

We are encourage to be lesbians/homos, chastised if we defend our values. Sex annd hook up is a fad… no longer ann abomination. Nothing wrong with baby mama annd baby papa. Our women go around with fake hairs gotten from India and Bangladesh… and we call it Brazilian and proud of it.

What is wrong with a nation holding onto her good values and shunning those values from outside that corrode us?!

What again could Russia have done, it has been hitting Ukrainians homes and killed many unarmed civilians. The only thing remaining Putin hasn't done is to use nuclear bomb.
Re: Trump’s Iran Agreement Embraces Sanctions Relief He Once Denounced by Cherrybae(f): 8:41am On Jun 23
If Peter obi is made president today, all the things he criticed, he will embrace them and his obedient mobs will clap for him.

No difference between Peter Obi and Trump.

Both lack ideas and leadership qualities.

Peter obi will be retired come 2027.

As long as the IRGC is in charge

Its gonna be the same thing


And like someone rightly asked, what is it with you guys and "western values"

What you mean to say js liberal values /liberty, but that is not the exclusive preserve of white folks

Did I read loosen israel's hand? Guess you didn't get the memo, Bibi confessed that for 30+ years, they've been trying to get US for this kind of operation until now. This corroborates what hillary Clinton said earlier. Don't stand logic on it's head when you argue. Did US hold their hands when they attacked Lebanon? There's an igbo saying: someone i can beat up, I don't need to pray to God for help. If Israel can go solo against Iran, they would have d9ne so since 20 years ago.

The kind of narratives you love to listen to, Trump is not giving any money. He's giving the US farmers the money and they'll sell food to Iranians. It grows the US economy and makes Iranians depend on US for subsistence. Iran would not enrich uranium as an exchange for this. Obama only helped Iran in financing the nuclear weapon.
