Lol you guys are crazy. If USA goes to war with iran they can win only if they do full scale invasion losing thousands of troops. The world oil price will spike through the roof because they will close the Strait of Hormuz. This war will pludge world economy into a recession. |

GogobiriLalas:Forget Africa, my broda. Trump is the Lord's anointed power on Earth. He is protecting Israel and bringing forward End Times. Prepare yourself. We do not need ' computation and defense'. Only the blood of Jesus can wash away the curses of our ancestors and bring true deliverance. Trust and obey Trump and Jesus and forget Africa. Heaven is our potion. |

Blue3k:Such a war in the long term will be unwinnable. The Americans defeated Taliban in Afghanistan and deposed the Saddam regime in Iraq within 2 months each. However they lost the peace. Pakistan spoilt the victory by allowing Pakistani based Taliban unlimited access into Afghanistan from where the planned and carried out attack. In Iraq, the sacking of all Iraqi soldiers by the American occupiers was perhaps the most counterproductive decision they ever made in that country. The sacked soldiers, majority who were Sunni became the backbone of a murderous insurgency which weighed the Americans down. These ex soldiers were also the foundation of what would later be ISIS Also, the Iranians, by aiding Shiite militia groups, did their best in sending clear message to the Americans to stay out of their backyard Iran would be far worse. They are about 3 times the population of Iraq. They are split into many ethnic groups. They are presently engaged in a civil war with a separatist Arabian group. America may succeed in outing the Ayatollahs from power but like Afghanistan, especially Iraq, they'll lose the peace. |

Efewestern:China, Russia are strong ally of Iran, N.Korea will act the spoiler, Iran control deadly militia in the Middle-East. It is not going to be away win for Uncle Sam. The economic effect is huge. It is obvious America can't control the split over effect aftermath of the war. Middle East might not remain the same again. Third World War might be trigger. In a nutshell U.S won't go to war, just looking for cheap avenue to bully Iran to submission. |

Isinweke:yawn. I dont watch propaganda. Go and do a thorough research yourself. Israel were forced to withdraw from Lebanon in shame in 2000 while in 2006 they didnt achieve any of their aim. Hezbollah defeated Israeli soldiers in every face to face battle. Israel was just bombing infrastructure while Hezbollah destroyed tanks and even sink a ship |

baganas:talking without thinking, Iran is nothing to Israel, are you aware of why Palestinians are complaining today over Gaza? Israel single handedly scattered the Arab plans to invade it territory years back.... go asked why Israel blew up over one hundred fighter planes the Arab nations, Turkey, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq , Syria parked in Egypt, their strike base. With Israelis technology, Iran is nothing..... Does Iran have an advanced air defence system? Despite having a missile programme, Iran lacks missile defence technology, but the Islamic Republic did manage to buy S-300s from Russia which were delivered to Tehran in 2017. "They put the order in for S-300s in 2007 and it was delivered in 2017, but they are working on a domestically produced air defence system. But as of now, they do not possess a significant system for air defence," Uygur said. Uygur says Iran's lack of air defence capabilities is evident in Syria, where it backs the regime. "We can actually see this in Syria, Israel is easily able to conduct operations against Iranian positions," Uygur added. Source: TRT World. Israel has a sophisticated Iron Dom air defense system..... lran is Zero bro....hi |

Later that same day, the territory was recaptured by U.S.-backed proxy forces in a counter-attack spearheaded by the YPG with help from U.S. coalition jets. U.S. coalition jets hit the attacking forces consisting of the Syrian Army and possibly Iranian militias, according to a Western diplomat and a source in the SDF .

The United States said that the intended target was Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant militants and that the attack on Syrian soldiers was due to a misidentification of ground forces [17] while the Syrian and Russian governments claimed that it was an intentional attack against Syrian troops. The attack prompted Russia to call an emergency United Nations Security Council meeting. [18] Later, the Syrian government called off a ceasefire that had been the result of months of intense diplomatic efforts by the U.S. and Russian governments. [18] |

panafrican:Wars are not won from a 1000 mile distance, except the US intend throwing a nuclear bomb on Tehran. Wars are won with boots on the ground. A war with Iran without support of European and Arab allies will be very difficult. Iranian strategy in a war with the US will be a simple one. Just hold out for a few years, five at most, and the US public will call for troop withdrawal. The American public does not have the patience for prolonged wars. |

whether Iran is backed by Russia or China doesn't stop US from striking if they want to....already the Director of Iran strategic studies in Turkey says he is not sure of much of the Iranian Rouhani's claim of nuclear capabilities...hear him..... Iranian and Israeli officials have been exchanging barbs and boasting about deploying military technology if the two sides clashed. Speaking to TRT World , Hakki Uygur, Director of the Center for Iranian Studies in Ankara, said that although Rouhani makes certain claims about Iran's capabilities it is hard to determine whether it is all true or mere rhetoric. Since the 1990s, Iran has been developing its missile technology sector, making major investments and frequently announcing new missile tests, said Uygur. The country has significantly increased its long- range missile arsenal under its space-launch programme. Its homemade missiles have improved both quantitatively and qualitatively along with elements like accuracy and lethality. "Recently they had two space rocket launches and both these attempts were unsuccessful but for them to reach this point means that they have made serious improvements in this field," Uygur said. "Iran has the most advanced missile system infrastructure in the region that is without a doubt, but are they as advanced as Rouhani claims? We can't confirm that," said Uygur. Ibrahim al Marashi, Associate Professor at the Department of History, California State University, San Marcos, told TRT World that Iran does have missiles, but raised questions over their maximum range."The missiles are tested within Iranian territory, and so whether they could hit targets in Israel is a matter of conjecture,” Marashi said. According to the Center for Strategic International Studies (CSIS) think tank, Iran has become the main base for supplying missiles and rockets to its proxies such as Hezbollah, the Assad regime in Syria and the Houthi groups in Yemen in recent years. |

UncletC:Sorry I could not read the whole article, but I can confidently tell you that the US always inform Russia before an attack in Syria against Syrian forces or ISIS positions. This is to prevents Russian casualties and thus direct confrontation between the US and Russian forces. It is an arrangement that had been in place since the beginning of the Syrian conflict. |

CaptainMarvel:You are right sire, the allies are Iran’s hope but if the war goes nuclear.... Iran will actually be destroyed cos it takes one Tsar bomb(strongest nuclear weapon) to destroy New York alone... though Iran allies can’t start with that ,but it will be hard for America to win a land war with them...most of the attacks will be on air which united state is good at and for the Hezibollas, they are not strongest as the man you tagged claimed it’s the Pakistan army... there is no small country again every country is powerful on its own ... no country can be underrrated ....not in Middle East at least |

Seunnzy:please I respect your opinion... but I will encourage you to understand that Israel are people chosen by God's design or purpose as a people without independence or proclamation which is the one you and I know according to the bible...today the Israel as a country was proclaimed by man and not God in 1948 aftermath of ww2 with the help of USA and UN. one thing you should know again USA is the first country to recognize Jerusalem as their new capital by moving their embassy there. if you want to survive war in this 4D generation just clinch to the best ally acting as god and see if you will not prosper. |

No matter the fiery rhetorics between Russia and the US in the Syrian conflict, they have a line of communication to prevent the two of them from accidentally entering into a conflict.
