see nonsense this one is parroting, you don almost turn yourself to Mossad because of visa
I am not interested in going to abroad even though I can't reject such a juicy opportunity. However, despite the fact I am not happy with the state of Nigeria I will be happy to make it here and live a fulfilling life here haven't said so I am not triggered by any interest to make my comment it is bored out of the erratic and irrational behavior of Iran and IRGC. It is not by force to use your water ways in Strait of Hormuz.

Oh! So it was Russia and China that told Trump to opt out of a working deal created by Obama?

A deal where the strait was open, no life’s lost and enrichment confined to limits BACKED by IAEA supervision.

So why are you complaining about Iran if Trump is offering you a better deal?
Obama's deal that gave Iran enough resources to develop nukes and missiles, is that one a deal? Where did you hide your thinking facultyhuh

Hi
Baxilexi:
From what i understand, the US is trying to work something out with Oman. Ships in their territorial waters are of no concern to the IRGC.

This imminent isolation scares them.

First it was the road up north with Armenia and Azerbaijan. Then the Lebanon - Isreal deal, with the right legal framework, disputes over the strait ends.
There are international water ways for free navigation under the international maritime law,Iran should never be allow to change the law by force,the straight of Hormuz is certainly very strategic for world crude trade but it is not the only straight in the world, allowing Iran to change the law would set a very dangerous precedent n disruption of international shipping n trade.

Exactly!!!....just imagine the audacity....you're trying to hoard and extort from people that are using a international water way because it's close to your territory and when the same people are trying to work another route out that they will also feel safe using you're doing everything to stop their plans like typical witches....Iranian-Nigerians won't see this now but if the bombs start flying they'll on their mic, climb to the rooftops and start singing their usual genocide campaign. undecided
Better oil just full your head bro!

I can tell you don’t have a TV or unlimited access to the internet.

Let me make you make a fool of yourself. Which resources did Obama give Iran?

Lol! The earlier the US realizes the Strait of Hormuz will never go back to being what it was before the war, the better for all of us. The Strait of Hormuz is the single most powerful leverage the Iranians have. It is their "hard currency"; anybody that think they will give that up over promises of some money or sanction relief signed on a piece of paper that can be revoked at the convenience of a US president any time is living in delulu land.
Oya now,let Iran continue,las las the results would be out for all to see.

some of you no get anything for head, person dey him own you bombed them killing their leaders and hundreds of children without provocation, but you want to play victim
Nobody bombed Qatar, Oman, UAE, Saudi, and other Gulf nations. Why is Iran so problematic? Why did they go out of the deal with America to enrich Uranium and build very lethal missiles and continue to shout death to America and Israel? Whereas, these countries they aim to extinguish can quench them in one night, but with their sane mind and love for human dignity will not choose that path. Now, tell me where is your conscience? Do you still have the brain that God gave you? Some of you deserved to be locked up in underground dungeon for believing and following nonsense ideology. Spits!

Then what? Will putting boots on the ground change the location of the Strait? The Strait of Hormuz is a fact of Geography. Even if you somehow succeed in overthrowing the IRGC; which as we have seen so far is not going to happen, you will still need a powerful government in Iran to keep the strait open otherwise it will just be overrun by pirates and other non-state actors essentially making it unsafe for commercial shipping.

Regardless of how this end, the strait of Hormuz will NEVER be the same water way it was before the war.
Before this crisis,where were the pirates?,ok, it's the plan of Iran to sponsor pirates like they are sponsoring hizbolah, houthis n others,ok let them continue,las las the results will decide

Go cross their strait of Hormuz like you did to that girl yesterday and see if you won't collect. Its in their backyard, you don't tell them what they do with it. You can encourage your yellow pawpaw who is now afraid of his shadow to do his worst. Never seen US President been so afraid to die for his people and for the fight he started.
Do you know what you are talking about? The Strait of Hormuz passes between Iran, Oman, UAE and even Saudi Arabia. Go check the map.
Iran cannot hijack it to itself alone. The worst they can do is to control their side. Oman, UAE and S/Arabia have the right to decide on their own side of the strait. Iran is only harassing them because these countries do not have strong military.

By the way: why is Iran not attacking Israel?
Last week, Iran attacked Jordan by sending missiles. Jordan and Israel share borders. Why is Iran avoiding Israel?
I want to see Iran sending missiles to Israel. Every mad person has a master!

Every Time Iran or Middle East Post come onboard, I can't just stop laughing on how some people are just deluded about America.

With more than 15,000 Bombs drop by two powerful nations with advanced technology couldn't achieve just one single aim of their initial campaign.

Yet someone is advising them boot on ground, another one nuke them, another one even lied that he was their when they were blowing up ships.

Iran is the Worst America War ever because they lost strategically, killing the supreme leader who knew they would kill him is no winning. Killing of their military general is not a win because every soldiers believed they are a dead walking man.

1. Straight of Hormuz that was opened initially is now closed.
2. Iran that was under sanctions is no more sanctioned
3. America now Begging Iran to open Straight of Hormuz
4. They are not talking about Iran Nuclear Weapon again
5. Ballistic missile is not a discussion again
6. Régime change is now a mirage for America
OGA even you self believe yourself?

I share in your sentiments. If the IRGC is allowed to, Yemen would do the same, Egypt, Indonesia etc.

But we’re dealing with irrational folks that would rather destroy the world to please the IRGC.

Don’t make me laugh! I am certain you know nothing about world economics and trade.

Not all of us! People like myself know how the world economy works.

Energy is a major product, and that straight accounts for over 20% of world energy passes through that strait. A blockade will be a big disaster for world economy due to upward trend of oil price.

The dollar value is based on demand and supply and backed by nothing, and the petro dollar drives it. A blockade is about less demand which will put it on a downward trend.

So, it’s not logical to use the demands of just one country to tumble the world economy. In a case of further escalation, Iran still has BIG targets that have not been hurt that if escalation should go all out, energy infrastructures across the Middle East will be doomed, and who will all those affected? The world!

you still don't really get the point anyway
As you know how the world economy works right
Well I can tell you something new, what war of this stage and magnitude will cause, no one knows precisely
You never can tell which war will begin a bigger war
You just never can analyse or tell the whole economy when everything goes south
The bottom line is
You are only trying to make it look like Iran has the cards, but common sense should tell you that superpowers are in that position for a reason
It's not a joke to get to where America is today
I know empire rise and fall, yes it may be America turn to fall, I don't know, nobody knows
But if it's not their time to fall, my brother Iran may not survive a dangerous hardship
Especially when America leader has a hidden and personal agenda
Be that as it may
If the strait is closed by Iran and America too decide to blockade it or perhaps continue the war
Common sense will predict that two nations will suffer their losses
But at the same time, Iran may take time to a longtime to recover if all hell break lose
You know who is bigger than you, you just don't have to display cowardice act, but one must know how to navigate life and make the best possible decision

The IRGC or whatever is there acronym would soon meet their Waterloo n wish they had never taken this path,Now the USA are going to forcefully secure the Hormuz straight n become it guardian n toll it for security cost,Iran would only watch helplessly in utter pains n shame.
