This Iran attack by USA is funny, they kept making mouth on NL that USA will teach Russia how it should have handed Ukraine. How many months, yet USA president never understood what’s happening in Iran.

There’s a reason the statement “attacking Iran isn’t the problem but what happens after”

Some making noise that Iran should strike Israel for Netanyahu to teach them lesson, forgetting last time he ran to Trump to hold off Iran?

Iran doesn’t attack first instead they defend, is left for Israel to strike them first, let’s check the outcome.

A sanctioned country still holding their own since February 28th 2026? Some people here should be ashamed of themselves

If Israel could do the "finishing work" why should Trump stop Israel? If I find it difficult doing something and I have a friend who could do it, won't I allow that friend to do it by easing my problem?

America has been struggling to get the job done so why would he restrain Israel that can get it done. Moreover they started it together why didn't Israel do the finishing work months back. undecided

Do you people think before posting?
sense is far from them

Israel used combined military force of America and failed to win over and over

Is it them that will finish a job their godfather can't?

It's glaring common sense is far from you. I'll give you one assignment to take home. Can you make a clear distinction between strategy and tactics in warfare?

Israel that can not survive on its own without the active support of the United States in all its international activities. If only you know what Iran as a nation has gone through you wouldn't be say all these rubbish.
Asking dvmb questions......am I in an exam hall?.....we are waiting for them to respond simple....all this derailment is non of my concern.

Iran should please attack Israel. I'm begging grin. US no get levels at all. Netanyahu has been begging Iran yesterday to attack Israel by telling the Mullahs that US is using its territory to launch attacks. That's a man with iron balls. Just give Benjamin Netanyahu 48hrs, everything in Iran will be wiped out completely.
why not tell trump to open the strait of Hormuz? Some of you guys are too deluded. At least, Iran has tried by standing up to the bully called , Trump. A war we all thought would last less than one week has now gotten to five months yet, trump can't open the strait of Hormuz and you're here yarning rubbish . Tufiakwa

You are so ignorant it is shocking. If Netannyahu was so confident of Israel's ability to counter Iran, why is he unwilling to commit Israeli troops to any land invasion of Iran?

Look at these brain dead people, boosting here and there. This terrorist Satanyahu started the war last year, ran to his big brother for a ceasefire after just 12 days of war.

He continue lobbying same big brother to help him strike Iran which both terrorist states did back in February. Simultaneously Iran has be destroying Israel and US bases ever since until felon single handly secure a ceasefire without in consideration for Satanyahu just as inconsequential he is.

Now felon his realizing his mistakes secretly negotiate for ceasefire again and you here talking gibberish about children and women killer Israel. How I wish US has not get involved terrorist state of Israel would have been looking like Gaza now. Even him papa confirm that if not for US they for don hammer Israel to oblivion.

Una go dey yarn dust just to have something to masturbate with.

Just imagine plain terrorism....attacking cargo ships transiting international water way after turning away from the peace deal offered by Trump earlier.

These guys have proven beyond reasonable doubts that Netanyahu is and will always be right regarding them and the only language they understand......Trump thought they could be like sensible humans and offered them a peace deal that could see them develop like their neighbors but they chose backwardness and terrorism..... they're bound to learn the hard way.
gbeff....the cargo ship is passing on Iranian and omani territorial waters...did u know d distance between Iran and US?what concern US and the Hormuz strait?Iran said coordinate with us for safe passage..but the US is promising them security its does not posses in the strait

You obviously do not know Iran. They will not attack you if you don’t attack them or partner someone to attack them. Beg Israel to attack them first then you will see Iran’s response. Don’t forget the last last Israel attacked them, Netanyahu had to beg Trump to plead to Iran for a seize fire!
They don't know this and even if they did, they would still deny. Netanyahu knew they couldn't face Iran alone that was why he recruited trump and pushed him to the war front while shooting from behind.

Iran's biggest strength is its willingness to absorb heavy losses without placing much priority on human lives or infrastructure. But no matter how resilient they are, they can't simply replace the infrastructure destroyed in this war overnight. Ultimately, this conflict is more likely to end through dialogue than a decisive military victory.

Iran can impose economic and political costs on the US and its allies, but it cannot defeat the US in a direct conventional conflict. As the saying goes, person wey pass you, pass you. There's no need to be gullible about that reality.

The Terrorists sympathisers will start hyping upon nothing now.

A bundle of sick morrons,
The fact that Iran is still Bombing mean nothing. There is something called, Fighting with One's last breath.
Iran is using their last oxygen as we speak. And it understandable, because a terrorist is ready to sacrifice his life for his sick ideology.

Congrats.

Iran knew it could not defeat the US conventionally that was why it mastered and invested in assymetric warfare for decades and it paid off. Defeat na defeat, so it does not matter if US could defeat Iran in a conventional warfare. As long as Iran achieves her objectives assymetrically that is what matters.

Trump is in a bad situation as we talk. He didn't get the regime change, he has no clue as to how to deal with the nuclear and missiles programme as talks about those ones are now muted only the strait of Hormuz is the sticking point now.

Trump made a big mistake by starting this war.

US has and will continue to kill or bomb anyone who challenges the petrodollar. Thats leverage. Iran controls the strait of hormuz, that's leverage. The US makes every comply to use swift... that's leverage. As long as you comply, not necessarily transactional, you can use swift. As long as you comply, you can use the strait. What then is terrorism there?
Re: Iran Strikes Tankers Under US Escort In Hormuz Strait As Trump Gathers Cabinet by zoedew: 8:16pm On Jul 31
The world surely is a more peaceful place without Iran as presently constituted! Gutteres of the UNO has had no solution to the matter meanwhile he has been a terrorist sympathiser and should be able to speak with Iran. Alas Gutteres is in the gutter!
