Did US catch him killing American citizens, do they have evidence to back their claim?...

Be rest assured Iran will pay back in one way or the other, hope your Trump will be there to blow all of Iran up.

Exactly...! One cowardly way or another!

OZAOEKPE:
America can now talk from the point of strength, not the useless democrat that were making deals with terrorists from the point of weakness.

In international leadership show of force is not always the show of strength but mind games and chass players are always the winners of wars..

Dont forget iran aka Persian is amongst the few countries that have survived over 2000yrs.

Pakistan ?

Aggressive deterrence to which aggression? Which self respecting, peaceful country anywhere in the world does America 'aggress'? Lol.

Look, we can trust America with nuclear weapons. We can trust America with power. These bloody Islamists and rogue countries CANNOT be trusted with that kind of power. It's that simple. [/quote]

The way some una dey think from una laps ehnnn.... the thing tire me

I swear my brother... All this one's don't know the impact of what they keep blabbing about, am sure by the time they buy a litter of fuel for a thousand naira, then they will understand whatever war brewing can have a direct impact in their life.

You are a big clown. Russia or China will never risk a nuclear war with the US on behalf of Iran. They will issue statement appealing for calm, nothing more.

Hypocrit:
2. America will lose so much because eventually Russia will take a war on Iran upon itself and hit at America. You dont just drag other countries into a problem that is not theirs. The world is moving fast, countries have had a share of the inferno of war before, so, no country will be willing to take on a problem that is not their especially when the lose will out weigh the benefit, everyone is now looking on how to build a strong economy that can feed its masses that is how enlighten the world has been. Everyone is building his millitary to protect his people, because, there will surely be intruders, but not to directly takeon someone else's problem when you dont have much to gain. Countries form alliance, but such alliance is not binding that everyone in the group must come to each other's aid without giving the problem a critical taught. There is no benefit that outweighs the destruction of war. no one will trade his little peace for war especially when it is not your war. Trump Fuckedup ...

Frankiss44:

And you are comparing Nigeria army to US? Ona mumu country when dey give army 1920 weapons?? Even to pay their bonus na waec.. The US doesn't make empty threats.. Even Iran won't be stupid to consider that an empty threat..

Definitely you urself can't compare 1920 with 2020...

jayfolarin:
I believe every nation should start working on nuclear weapons as credible deterrent to American aggression that will definitely increase as they lose their sole superpower status with China, Russia and the EU coming into fray.

North korea despite committing unthinkable atrocities have suffered zero military consequences because of nuclear weapons.

Time to revive our space program in Nigeria as this automatically gives you the needed knowledge for nuclear weapons design and workability.

Lol. There's more hope for Ghana to own a nuclear weapon than the shithole.

realestniggah:


They want Visa

They are hoping when they go to apply for visa.. Their post supporting the USA will come up at the embassy.

You know their way

Disguised sycophants

Black leaders will always be weak no matter where they are and the country they are ruling.

hope this don't turn out to be a twitter war not what we have been anticipating for

Typhoonsbane:

It's just painful that this guys are clamouring for war and making it seem like it's a sort of game where you keep scores,the countries that records less death wins,these fools say this because they aiint got nothing to lose,I don't wanna see my families run for their lifes or get displaced over something that could have entirely be avoided.

Well, I'm not praying for a full-blown war. Did the General kill American citizens? Yes! That's the stance of the Americans. You cannot kill any of their people and go Scot free, whether general or not. We must understand that the US viewed the man as a terrorist and had to take him out.

This will never escalate into a war as Iran will not be foolish to retaliate in a conventional attack on America. They can't stand even the state of Texas in military hardware!

OZAOEKPE:
Try Trump and see the effects, he no be Obama way dash una cash, this one na talk and do

Obama was one of them! I hate him with passion.

a mistake. My post started from 'you dont', immediatly after the first fulstop. The other part before the fulstop is the post of someone i quoted. I will edit it right away. Thanks.

To the people that dosen't know much about the timeline of event between USA and Iran, and those of you that always claim Iranians are terrorists for standing up against bullies, let me summarize a few:

During the 1950s, USA was wary of communism and trying to clip the hands of the soviet union (communists) around the world.

During the 1950s, the British owned Anglo-Iranian oil company (Now known as British Petroleum) controlled Iran's oil refining capacity.

In 1951, the Iran government under PM Mohammed Mossadegh told the British that majority of the funds from the refined oil should go to Iranians, the British rejected the idea, the Iran government responded by nationalizing the British refinery in the city of Abadan.

Winston Churchill UK new PM was furious about this and he suggested to the CIA (USA) that the Iran communist party (Tudeh) is getting powerful and that they are taking over the country. The USA feared a communist country and they were drafted into Iran's case.

In 1953, the US and UK jointly began a coup against Iran in Operation Ajax (Planned from the USA embassy in Tehran), this coup deposed Mossadegh and put the power in the hands of the Shah. The Shah ruled with an absolute monarchy (Iran was practicing democracy before the coup).

People hated the Shah because they see him as a western puppet, also accused him of unpopular policies coupled with the harassment from his secret police called SAVAK. The SAVAK were trained mostly by American and Israeli military.

In 1979, Islamic revolution happened in Iran installing Ayatollah Khomeini. The people knew the USA planned the earlier coup from the USA embassy in Tehran, so to make the new revolution succeed further, they laid a 444-day hostage crisis in the embassy. Iran became enemies to the USA. Although conspiracy theories said USA supported Ayatollah indirectly (USA has always been double faced).

During the Iran-Iraq 8-years war. US heavily arms Iraq to oust increasingly successful Iran and then secretly armed Iran too to save them from Iraq. The Iraqis were led by Sadam-Hussein.

The west later fell-out with Sadam Hussein and invaded Iraq. The USA noticed that Iraq and Iran are starting to get closer because the majority Shia of Iran were visiting the holy sites in Iraq as the Baathist regime was removed. Ties grew between Iran and the new Iraq.

The USA accuses Iran of supporting terrorism because they are opposing the USA continued presence in Iraq. Iran school of though was that if USA remains in Iraq successfully, then they can invade Iran in the future.

George Bush label Iran as the axis of evil and they were accused of building atomic weapon. The USA sanctioned them and the Iranians signed an agreement that they will not pursue atomic weapon for 10 years if sanctions were lifted in 2009.

Trump broke the treaty, increased pressure on Iran which led to the current provocations and hullabaloo.

USA has a powerful weapon of the media. The always label opposing minds terrorist and with the current stigma on Islam, it is not hard to convince people. For all of you, Buhari labelled Nnamdi Kanu a terrorist which all of us knew he was not. If the USA suddenly drop a bomb on Nnamdi Kanu due to that pronouncement will you be happy?

Note: I love USA coz they are a great country but sometimes they use their power to oppress the weak. Truly this world politics is like the animal jungle where the powerful oppress the weak.

You have said it all.

Obama was one of them! I hate him with passion.

What are you saying?

Iran has nuclear weapons too.

Been watching trump in the days of the apprentice, he never tolerates excesses,he never negotiate negativity.
I was shocked to watch him beat up that WWEmanager that drives a car with horns in wwe many yrs ago.
After becoming president,he still watched his program and criticized Arnold Schwarzenegger for not doing it well.

LegendHero:


The USA has an advantage of the media. They don’t just depend on their military power alone but they have the ability to polarize people’s mind toward a cause.

They first conquer people’s mind before conquering them physically. Very simple, label them terrorist and that will give them the moral justifications for the killings.

You go to a country border to kill their people and inturn label them the aggressors. Life is really crazy and the word terrorism has been abused.

You seem enlightened and exposed

Thumbs up

AfroMighty:
This trump mean business....
For this to grow into a full blown war., It will start with iran foolishness...
So pls iran Don't act foolishly...

No my friend. There will be consequences. Unfortunately it might be innocent people that will pay for this executive recklessness.
Until now we have been condemning acts of terrorism from Shiites and Sunni but now when the Shouted act we will accept it as a 'response '. Americans are not safe for probably a decade

If you're talking about military hardware then you obviously don't understand what we're saying here sir.

Thanks bro.

all muslim terrorist countries will lay low

NORSYK:
I laugh at the Ignoramus Nigerian Muslims who thought Iran could hurt just a single hair on US head. The war would be very decisive and short, the writer forgot to mention the US have stealth planes, the F-22, F-35, and B2 bomber which can go into any airspace undetected and destroy all aircrafts and military installations including air defense systems before the Iranians can spell ayatollah...the US is not planning to use drones as it's main thrust neither is trump planning for an army of occupation once iran's air defense is wiped out and military positions decimated what's left? Chaos and Change of regime. The war would be over before lunch.

Nigerian Muslims are majorly Sunnis. I don't see how they would be concerned about what is going on in Iran. This is not a religious (Muslim vs Christian) war as some of you think.

HBB1:


Exactly...! One cowardly way or another!

I just laugh...

Do you really understand what Diplomacy is about about?... You all call Obama names because of how he handled Iran but is Trump who has made a bigger mistake cos by his actions, he has put so many American life's in danger. Let's say solimani committed all crimes leveled against him by Trump, WHY not take him out COVERTLY, this is the one reason I respect Putin till today. The public assassination of solimani is uncalled for and innocent American life's will be lost cos of this action, even if it takes a hundred years to achieve, the Arabs never forgets that I know for sure.

And if you think Iran will come shooting missiles everywhere, then you all need to have a rethink.... that you can beat a man, don't mean you will have to go to his house and humiliate him. Trump just bought coffins of many Americans, which could have been avoided.

Omarosa, is that you ?
Bro, WWE is theatre. Colby Covington, his favourite MMA fighter, was slapped around by a chap called "Ooooossssumaannn". Fella ran right off stage. Lmao
Before u go full rant, this conflict is good for Nigeria. If only we can capitalize on it. Oil.price up, treasury windfall expecting, Buhari has no excuses.
Silver lining and all that.

spy24:
I am very sure USA have a very strong reason for all this attack on Iraq. They have spy in every country so this may just be a timely reminder to Iraq and other Islamic nations to stop their systematic islamisation of part of Africa this would put them in check

And anybody thinking that the US is alone this is wrong they have backing from other strong western countries like Britain

same reason they had to topple Sadam. WMD and the same way Libya was invaded and now in ruins.
At the end of it all, I won't be suprised if it was all about Natural resources. Iran is very rich in Oil.

emmydiamon:
Dont tell your enemy how mighty and great you are show them, action not too much talk.

what other action do you want to see? They have killed one of the most influential general in Iran and you are still talking of action...lol. You no dey read news?

Pls if you know any orphan in any public university who is at the verge of dropping out because of financial difficulties, tell such person to send his or her mail to: *inspirationafrica@yahoo.com*
I have done my part

Me am still waiting for the war na.

Does Iran dey fear abeg.

Typhoonsbane:
90% of comments here shows how Immature and ignorant nairalanders are,it's a shame.

Put your own or talk your own make we reader read stop telling us who is matured and who is not oga. every talk is talk even your own.

What you all don't understand. IRANIANS has nothing to lose. They are all ready to die. The thing is USA will definitely win but is USA ready to witnesses the internal damage they will experience. While USA will attack iran directly. IRAN WILL ATTACK THEIR LOVED (USA) ONES. Can USA deal with the trauma of losing people dare to them. Think before you fight those that death means nothing to. At the end of the day. IRAN has nothing to lose. They are all prepared for war and annihilation.
