Iran and propaganda are 5 and 6, and sadly, some media houses in the US are accomplise.

Iran only rely on propaganda, the reason for the pause is that Iran came begging Oman to talk to uncle Sam. The talk is ongoing and Trump wants a deal so he had to pause on Friday.
You go explain tire,Oga.

Iran is waiting for your Superpower and their Jewish Minions to invade them.

What are they waiting for to engage?

Trump the bully thought Iran was another Venezuela,now he's stomped.

American already knew that Ground invasion will not favor them because of the terrain of Iran.
What they have been doing now is Boys scout action to you when the U S have lost billions dollars of military hardware and human resources.
The only way they can Win this war is to introduce nuclear weapons which Will jeopardize the entire world.

Re: Trump Decides Not To Escalate Iran Conflict as Interceptor Stockpile Decreases by Heffalump(m):
People are being fooled by American's perceived weakness militarily. Each time they said something like this, we see the direct opposite. All I see is that the enemies within and out of the US are never giving up on intense propaganda against the God's own Country. God is always frustrating their wicked ambition.

One thing that's certain is that the forces of darkness can never overcome the ultimate forces of light. All these are happening because of some individuals championing the persecution of other people thru jihad and terrorism in the name of one wicked religion.
Terrorists have one fate. To end up in Hell!

He goes about looking for the most anti-US post even though the sources are questionable and the claims are unverifiable.

Now a thing of pride. Go home and lose face, keep fighting till you run out of missiles completely leaving homeland a sitting duck or go nuclear and spoil everything. Iran doesn't look like they're backing down anytime soon and countries around the world are getting pissed off with America and Israel and calling out their bulshixxz. We're in world war three and Nigeria isn't immune since we're directly headed for conflict same as sub haran Africa max two to three years or as soon as tomorrow (that of Africa)

Trump the bully thought Iran was another Venezuela,now he's stomped.
Even, Iran’s military has said that it has suspended retaliatory operations after the U.S. halted its airstrikes. So the both party have suspended strike for now. If it were for stockpiles decrease Iran would have stepped up on his strike but...

You should ask yourself why Iran has stopped bombing too. Since on Friday that US stopped, Iran also stopped. It shows that it's not because of weakness. It's because of ongoing negotiations.

Eyah
Trump made USA look weak.
The war was unnecessary but ego and pride no to let am stop the madness.
Now American people have to pay for yet another needless war.....
American lives are lost....
This is sad to be honest and I feel so sad for the American people.
U Wan follow pigs like Iran fight?
People wen no first value lives....
What do you expect? A walk in the park without getting ruffled?
I disagree with your opinion. One of the solutions to the persistent crises in the Middle East is the decimation of Iran. So far, the US & Israel has done a good job. Iran has a rugged mountainous terrain & a strong backing from Russia & China. The frontline leaders have been decimated but the system is well organized for prolonged conflicts. Obviously, in war, there're usually collateral damages. This one is not an exception.

However this US/Israel vs Iran war ends, one thing is certain; Iran has demystified America, their military superiority, naval superiority, everything! Iran has shown the limitations of the US military.

Maybe the only thing still worth its respect is the US intelligence. Yes, the intelligence agencies in US warned Trump about confronting Iran, and rightly predicted the scenario we are witnessing today. So credit to the US intels. Problem was that Trump knew better than his intelligence agents or felt so indebted to Israel that no obstacle was enough to act as caution.

US bombed Iran again last night. It was the 13th day since the renewed attacks. And this time, the US B-1 bomber was reportedly deplored.

Curiously, Iran is still existing on the world map. 🤷

Since the war began on 28 February 2026, the United States has deployed a wide range of advanced aircraft, bombers, missiles, naval assets, and drones against Iran.

At the early stage of the war, the thought that the US might deploy some of these dreaded machines against Iran made us fear for Iran. When we heard about B-2 Spirit, or B-1B Lancer, we read about their capacities and the massive destruction that can cause, and we feared that Iran wouldn't survive.

But America has used them all. All.

And now, when we hear that America will be bombing Iran with B-2 or B-52, we know longer fret. Iran has succeeded in making that machines look ordinary.

From 28th February to 24th July, if you told me that despite sustained and concentrated bombardment by America that Iran would still be standing, and be firing, destroying America's military assets, making the US to abandon their Gulf military bases, inflicting injuries to American servicemen, and keeling some, I would say na dream.

Aside nuclear bomb, which other asset does America have that it hasn't deployed?

After everything, Iran still stands, still fires, relentlessly, and shows no sign of surrendering.

Interestingly, the US has lost many of the weapons mentioned above in this conflict, to Iran's attack and to "friendly" fires. Long live Iran

Iran have finally put some sense in his empty skull, he should escalate now so both the Red Sea and Strait of Homuz can both be finally shut down permanently and Iran torpedo the global economy. I am reading American social media and all I see are Americans raining abuse on the man, but his little boys fans on NL think he is the greatest thing since slice bread.

Sorry to disappoint you that Iran has also stopped attacking. Iran is the one that's begging for ceasefire behind closedoors but they run their mouth in public.

Bro for context, I don't support Iran or will ever support them..
My concern is how poorly USA have managed the situation under Trump.

Today he says they are decimated, tomorrow we see them firing missiles upon missiles...
Today he's having a deal... Tomorrow the deal is off the table...

Today he controls the straight.... Tomorrow Iran is bombing a ship in the same straight...

Today he's imposing taxes in the straight...
Tomorrow he's lifting the taxes...

All at the detriment of the American people.....

Trump is gradually revealing cracks in his military without knowing and I'm sure other super powers are learning a thing or 2 from it....

Now for a war that trump claims to have won before.... He's requesting for more money to stockpile interceptors....

Who them wan use am fight wen he claims they have been defeatedhuh

Because all their missiles and drones factories are buried deep underground, they have been preparing for this war for decades. All the bombing in the world with all the fancy toys you mentioned they have been psychologically intimidating the world with will not work on a country like Iran because they are prepared for a long war.

According to Al Arabiya: The U.S. and Iran have submitted responses to a Pakistani Qatari proposal aimed at restarting negotiations.
Trump is clear on the goal of this war from the start. He doesn't want Iran to possess nuclear weapon.

The News in Nigerian Pidgin English
Why Trump Pause Attack Against Iran?
US President Donald Trump don decide to hold on first and pause one big military attack wey dem plan against Iran because US military stock of air-defense missiles (like Patriot interceptors) don dey drop low too much.
How the Problem Take Start:
The two sides (US and Iran) don dey exchange heavy strikes for almost two weeks after one small ceasefire agreement broke down. Trump had earlier threatened to launch a massive military strike after Yemen Houthis hit two Saudi oil tankers.

The Warning From Military Chiefs:
When Trump meet with his top security advisers and military leaders, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caine, warn am say: If we launch this major attack, we go finish almost all the defense missiles wey US get for Middle East.

Why Dem Dey Fear to Finish Their Missiles:

Iranian Missiles Dey Breakthrough: Iran don dey fire faster and more tricky missiles. Recent attacks kill 3 US soldiers for Jordan and another one for Iraq after an Iranian missile beat US air defenses.

Huge Stock Depletion: According to defense analysts, recent fights don chop off almost half of US Patriot interceptors, over half of THAAD missiles, and about 30% of Tomahawk cruise missiles.

Fear of Regional War: Top advisers warn say if US fire Iran too hard, the war go spread go all the Gulf countries, chop world economy, and drive up oil prices.

Current Situation:
The White House talk say President Trump prefer to settle the matter through diplomacy (peaceful talk), but e still reserve the right to attack if Iran continues to disrupt oil trade or attack US allies.
