Well you are very wrong first off it's not on the internet and secondly you can possibly be telling me that us defense are deployed only in mainland United States.........there are missile defense systems in all full fledged us bases........
I mean you have bases in a place where hostile members have projectiles and rockets

........nawa for you o

I shouldn't be arguing and if you insist I won't continue.
Those bases used to be American bases but were handed over to the Iraqi military some year after the gulf war and soon transferred back to the Americans to help fight ISIS. Having or even deploying a defense system is far more technical than you think. Why do you think Russia 'screams' anytime America comes up with a new defense technology concept? American defense systems are very capable, even the more modern Patriot system has been upgraded severally through several variants to make them more sophisticated. This is the same reason why Russia is developing hypersonic missiles, to evade American defense systems. Hypersonic missiles follow a far more nonconventional path than maneuverable ballistic missiles...blah blah

U cnt compare US intelligence agency to Irans............... dey got d INFO, n d place was evacuated.

and for Terrrorism, Nigeria is rated NO 3 in the World. Iran also ranked high......................

Ur Data s not just for nairaland, feed ur knowledge box


We still have no fact sheets to back up both claims in regards to what the casualties and tolls are. So stop putting up this fallacies and making it look like facts.
And as for the terrorism part, i think you lack comprehensive skills.
Terming a Country a Terrorist Nation Due to the Country being impacted with terrorist is an expensive blackmailing. Nigeria falls within these situation.
When ranking countries with most terrorist occurrences/incidents, United states comes before iran with 68 incidents in 2019 and Iran not exceeding 11. Ngeria ranks second with 480+ incidents after afghanistan who’s topping with more than 900 counts.
Here’s a helpful link https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_terrorist_incidents_by_country
So according to your terminology, we can safely nail USA a a terrorist nation with fear and death index way higher than that of Iran.
I don’t know where you’re getting your own tales from but I’m certainly not buying your shit.

Too much if American movies. No country tells you their latest warfare technology, they are meant for real war. The likes of America, Iran, Russia, istreal, China, India etc don't reveal their contemporary technologies to the public like that, who does that? Whatever you hear they call latest is what has been achieved decades ago. You tell me ur strength and I know how to bring u down without much noise. You don't know warfare.


You know so much yet you do not know they carry out tests? Weapons must be tested and in contained areas. Russia and America got secret military and tactical information at the height of the cold war, how?
Movies? Just keep quiet.

Timely and expected attack from Iran.

Trump made them look like cowards, and this retaliation (even if much damage wasn't done), would help save their face a bit.

With this attack, Iranians feel that they've been avenged of their murdered General, and the US doesn't lose much either. More like a win-win for everyone.

The matter has died, finally

Modified

I said that the attack was 'timely' because Iran really didn't intend to kill any US citizen (following the threats from Trump). Killing a citizen of the US would have stretched the matter much further and, no matter how you try to look at it, Iran lacks the military might to fight the US in any way; and therefore, will rather push money into their crawling economy than spend more money trying to be at war with a world power.

So, it's not a question of how much damage was done to the US, what matters is that they had their revenge (anyhow), and everyone is comfortable with it.
It is called a calm before the storm, wait for it...

No missile defense system are currently deployed in those bases, only radars which did quite a nice job warning the base before time ( those missiles are relatively slow). Deploying a defense system can be seen as a preparation for war and arouse tensions unless of course the Iraqi government makes purchase which is not quite as easy as having enough money to spend.
Pffff! Iran only successfully displayed how far they have to go to start making high precision missiles. Even Israeli defense would dust those missiles like they are no threat on a busy day. I can only imagine their midrange ballistic missiles will even be poorer in general specifications.
You guys just like talking nonsense. Go and do some research and you will find out that the Houthis in Yemen used the same Fateh ballistic missiles in attacks on Saudi Arabian oil installations some months ago.

19 missiles were fired and all but two hit their targets with precision causing serious damage that lead to the cutting by half of Saudi Oil production capacity.

The Saudis have the very expensive US made Patriot Air Defence System in place and it failed to intercept the missiles.

Moreover, the US does have Patriot Air Defence Systems in place to protect their troops and assets in the region.

If you research further you will also find out that the Iranians had an option of deploying their advanced cruise missiles in the attack on the US airbases. Cruise missiles cannot be detected by ground based radars and cannot be intercepted by air defence systems. This is due to their low flying trajectory and high speed.

Are you an idiot to realize that a defense system has the space it covers and its scope is limited? It has it's limitation like any other technology. They just need to purchase enough to cover every space. Wondered why 'mainland' Israel is referred to as the theatre of missiles?
Iran used drones not cruise missiles, hypersonic cruise missile is a very very long shot for them even in decades to follow.

Iran has sent a message to the US and it's allies that their missiles can evade the US "interceptors" system after all, and this should call for worry from all involved.

This is a huge statement.

Modified...

I see some kids who just started following world politics since Trump, quoting me... grin

While I'm not in support of Iran and their shenanigans, I just can't understand what people who are mostly ignorant, are masturbating about and would believe this is a battle between Christianity and Islam, or good and bad.

If you are one of those who think this is a war of Good vs. Evil and not some old age long bully cum supremacy battle then you need to read up some more, listen to more intellectuals speak, and be quiet while at it.

I was telling someone yesterday that Trump has set a very very bad precedent of assassinating a sovereign nation's Rep. Military/Civilian in a non-war situation and that with time, this will become a norm and guess who'd be crying terrorists by then?

The person I was having this discussion with had already gone all sentimental and cussing as if we were both Iranian and American respectively. To him, Trump was God sent to wipe out the useless Iran who do not want Christians to live, and are seeking to obliterate Israel "God's own people" and by extension his own people because he is a Christian. Little did my guy know that a typical orthodox Jew doesn't see him (a black man) as a human being and would have no problems crucifying him to the stakes, just as they did Jesus, neither are the streets of Saudi (America's strongest ally in the region) littered with Churches.

If indeed America feels Iraq is oppressive or a threat to other religions/world, what is not oppressive in Saudi Arabia, a country that would lure a journalist citizen to it's embassy, murder him, and have his body chopped up based on orders from above.

People need to go back and read up on the Iranian revolution of the late '70s to see how the country was under the then leader 'Sha' before the revolution was backed to unseat him, welcome the present Islamic hardcores presently ruling the country.

In years to come, Saudi will have a taste of all they see and instigate their neighbors to go through. History never lies.

When Saddam was holding the Shites in Iraq to ransom and positioning Iran, he was the US best friend. But when they found a way to get him out of the way on trumped-up charges, they didn't remember Iran would be eyeing to take over one of their strongholds which is Iraq based on the shite population there.

Do you know how long the 9/11 attack was planed? Do you know what led to the Attack? Stop saying thrash. This will go down in history it's all about revenge. This man killed is loved by all In Iran. The tension might cease but the hunger for revenge it's still there. The Fulani crises going on in the middle belt in Nigeria didn't start today. Some of the attacks are Bourne out revenge it keeps going from Generation to generation. I pity the innocent people that will suffer the consequences of their past leaders. After 9/11 America used everything to Avenge Osama bin Laden that's how revenge works it doesn't matter the time, when and how it'll surely happen.
