Iran is no match to US. No doubt. Iran has done what other nations dare not to do including Russia and China. Bombing US bases means "You are not untouchable. We can hit you, we can cause damages". That is a big actinable statement.

Iran means business indeed! For the ten missiles fired, did they successfully blow up the targeted air bases? Did any American die?

The control of USA over the world has made the world habitable for sane people. Another world power which is being sought for from middle east Asia will only spell doom.

In 1980, a 34-year-old Donald Trump said the US should invade Iran in response to the hostage crisis

In 1980, in the midst of the Iranian hostage crisis, Donald Trump in an interview said the US should invade Iran.

"I absolutely feel that, yes...I think right now we'd be an oil-rich nation, and I believe that we should have done it, and I'm very disappointed that we didn't do it," Trump said at the time.

This interview in many ways foreshadowed the tone of Trump's future presidential campaign and general stance toward Iran as commander-in-chief.

Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.


In 1980, as 52 hostages were being held by Iranian students at the US Embassy in Tehran, a 34-year-old Donald Trump advocated for a US invasion of Iran.

In an October 1980 interview with gossip columnist Rona Barrett, uncovered on Tuesday by Brookings Institution amid an escalating crisis with Iran, Trump said the US "should really be a country that gets the respect of other countries."

"The Iranian situation is a case in point," he ad That they hold our hostages is just absolutely, and totally ridiculous. That this country sits back and allows a country such as Iran to hold our hostages, to my way of thinking, is a horror, and I don't think they'd do it with other countries. I honestly don't think they'd do it with other countries."

Barrett replied: "Obviously you're advocating that we should have gone in there with troops, et cetera, and brought our boys out like Vietnam."

To which Trump said: "I absolutely feel that, yes. I don't think there's any question, and there is no question in my mind. I think right now we'd be an oil-rich nation, and I believe that we should have done it, and I'm very disappointed that we didn't do it, and I don't think anybody would have held us in abeyance."

According to historians Brendan Simms and Charlie Laderman, as cited by Brookings, this was Trump's first known comment on US foreign policy.

The Iranian hostage crisis began in November 1979 amid the Islamic revolution that saw Iran transition from being a pro-Western puppet to an oppressive, theocratic state and adversary of the US. Initially, 66 American hostages were taken, but that number dwindled t0 52 by July 1980 as hostages were released for various reasons. The crisis lasted for 444 days, ending on January, 20, 1981, the same day Ronald Reagan was inaugurated.

Though the US did not launch a full-scale invasion over the crisis, it did launch a disastrous military operation in April 1980 meant to rescue the hostages that failed miserably and resulted in deaths of eight US service members. Former President Jimmy Carter's handling of the crisis is often cited as one of the primary reasons he did not win reelection.

The 1980 interview in many ways foreshadowed the tone of Trump's future presidential campaign and general stance toward Iran as commander-in-chief.

While running for president in 2016, Trump repeatedly said the US no longer had the world's respect, contending that he would bring it back. Since he entered the White House, however, polls have repeatedly suggested that Trump has eroded America's global credibility.

On January 3, Trump ordered a drone strike that killed Iran's most important military leader, Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, in Baghdad. The US considered Soleimani a terrorist, and he'd been linked with the deaths of hundreds of US service members. But questions have still been raised by many in Washington regarding the proportionality of the strike, and whether it was worth the unfolding consequences.

Do people even know that General Soilemani was in Iraq bringing a peace proposal from the Saudis to find a solution to the conflict in Iraq and to bring Iran and Saudi Arabia closer. It should be then obvious then that the people that took him out do not want peace in Iraq or the wider Middle East, nor do they want Iran and Saudi Arabia to form a rapport.

US can't just bully whoever they feel like.. The annoying thing is Trump feeling that it's right, forgetting his 2011 video where he accused Obama of trying to start a war with the Reds as the only way of getting reelected; which he described as PATHETIC.

I'm not taking sides with Iran and I'm not in support of a war, but I believe this bullying has to stop, somehow..
The best way to fight an very aggressive opponent in public is to hit them very hard, so before they regain strength people would've come to intervene and separate the fight or simply walk away; else you will get beaten to pulp.. Sadly, Iran wants to end up like Iraq and Libya..

To those on NL, saying let the war begin, I stand with US, etc., the only peaceful place to be in a time of war is the grave


We know who does the bullying around the world, right from how they see their women as cattle and other religions as infidels, let's pretend we don't know

What do you know?

I am so sure no US casualties. If any, US will hit Iran again.

It's a subtle game by IRAN to avoid war. Send missiles to two US bases, ensure there are no US casualties, so the US doesn't respond, then end it there. Check the threats from Iran now, if you respond, we will strike Dubai and a city in Isreal. What does that tell you?
Read the rubbish that came out from your head. Iran sent missiles to two US bases housing American Troops yet your head is telling you that it was just a subtle plan by Iran not to kill American soldiers. That Iran's intention was not to kill American Troops but to destroy the buildings housing US troops.

Some of you will just be saying rubbish without a proper assessment or even understanding of what is going on.............oya tell me the countries that will come out and support Iran. Russia, China, UK, France, Germany?? Tell me.

Meanwhile, check Iran's foreign minister's post, substantiates my argument. Even if they have the capacity, they can't fight the US and her allies. Do you know how many troops US has got in the world?

Go back and read the first post you quoted, did he say Iran can take on the US head-on? So what are you saying?

It's funny how some of you think, you think a War against Iran would be a Walk in the park for the US, there won't be a single casualty on the side of the US.

P. S.. What's the difference between the Iranian Foreign Minister's tweet and the ones coming from the White House?

All this Iran has bigger dyck or US has a bigger Dyck talks are childish and for kids. Bottom line is there would be loss of lives on both sides.
in a normal war there won't be losses for USA but if it's terrorist attacks there will be a lot of casualties. In an all out war, USA can just bomb full city with nuclear weapons without trying to avoid hurting the innocent but in small small terrorist attacks they can't. They'll be trying to make their way past civilians who will in turn be giving info to the terrorists. That's why fighting state sponsored terrorism is the most difficult battle in the world

If your opinion is true, then nothing more should we blacks welcome more than never to be no peace in the middle-east for the millenia of atrocities them Arabs have wrecked upon Africa. They were the first to enslaved Africans, destroyed empires and kingdoms in the guise of bringing so-called religion of peace only to unleash jihad, and they continue to constitute the sole problems stagnating west Africa today, not the western colonial. Arabs still enslave and trade in black slavery in Sudan and Mauritania till tomorrow so only an uninformed and brainwashed African would defend Iran (Persia) which were once unique before them Jihadi Arabs f'cked them up with i.slam as well just like they did to Indians to carve out Pakistan. Arabs, bane of the world and their far cousins the Fulanis are doing great damage to us here in libya ur ancestral land.

Openbusiness:
A terrorist country Iran fires over a dozen unguided missiles to coalition forces camps in Iraq that houses the largest American troops base in Iraq, and guess what? NO SINGLE CASUALTY, no single American soldier died. Word from inside Pentagon sources has it that the antimissile defense system on ground took out many of the rockets. Only damage is property, yet some terrorists sympathizers on Nairaland are hailing it as victory. Lol, common, is this the MIGHTY REVENGE Iran promised? Lol,. this revenge has kwashiokor cheesy. America is already fracking its own oil, so if OPEC likes let them inflate oil prices, they will bring it down by themselves quickly when Russia corners and sells cheaper crude oil to their customers. The time of oil prices blackmail by terrorist countries is over. But i just pity the women and children in Iran, because many of them are about to become widows and orphans because of their terrorists leaders. America should please try to keep the civilian losses as minimal as possible, because obviously when the time comes, when power pass power, these evil terrorists will use civilians, especially women and children as human shields like they always do. Meanwhile, the Iranian military below are ready to bomb the White House cheesy
