Godjone:USA asked for cease fire when Iran almost destroyed their entire military bass across six countries, the same way they asked for cease fire in last year 12day war. not to talk of immense hit on Israel and the entire ME countries! Iran vs America/Israel/Middle east countries housing USA bases! I blamed Iran for not finishing the job and agreeing to cease fire for the second time. |
After 34 years, the low‑cost airline is shutting down "effective immediately." 277 flights canceled. 17,000 employees out of work. 🤡 Trump is winning so much, his imposed war just grounded an entire airline. |
donbabsaint:They said.... really? pure lies! Iran opened fire on two vessels that tried to cross already. They will only prioritize ships that pay tolls, no free passage. Hormuz is closed |
The strait is still closed! Fox News, citing an intelligence official: The Strait of Hormuz is fully under the control of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and is effectively closed now. 🔹Many ships have been forced to turn back since this morning while attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. 🔹The IRGC has opened fire on at least one vessel as part of the closure policy it announced. |
– Opening the Strait of Hormuz was part of the original 2-week ceasefire agreement, but this was dependent on a ceasefire in Lebanon. – As soon as the ceasefire was declared in Lebanon, Iran also abided by its promise — opening the Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping. – This ‘opening’ is only valid for the duration of the ceasefire, unless it is extended upon mutual agreement. – The Strait of Hormuz is under full sovereignty of Iran, and ships are only allowed to pass through the corridor designated by the IRGC Navy and with prior Iranian permission. – American military vessels are not allowed to cross the Strait of Hormuz. Iran imposed 3 conditions for ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz: 1. Ships must be commercial; the passage of military ships is prohibited, and neither the ships nor their cargo should be related to ‘hostile’ countries. 2. Ships must pass through the route designated by Iran. 3. The passage of vessels must be coordinated with the IRGC Navy. |
Caspian sea corridor is opened, Whatever Iran needs , they get through it. Israel finally agreed to cease fire in Lebanon, which was part of Iran demands to keep the straight opened, hence they agreed to open the strait. |
[quote author=Nwaikpe post=139107363]See mouth wey dey tell me to "check online." He didn't even bother to read what he browsed. Lastly, Israel and Iran can NEVER have a fair game. Iran can't even play fair with Qatar or the UAE. You guys hype rubbish too much. Israel finished Iran within 30 seconds of the war. Iran is only lucky that they don't have a broder with Israel, or else, they would have understood what "air superiority means." When Israeli youths are busy, building knowledge and contributing to science and tech, Iran was making their youths do military parades and jump through rings of fire to impress Nigerian muslims. Now Israel has the ability to enter Tehran at will, But Iran can only fire inaccurate catapults and jump around in happiness in AI videos. ![]() Air superiority my balls, after 40 days of air superiority, Isreal and US still asked for a cease fire as usual. Winners dont ask for cease fire! I didnt know I was talking to a kid, a naive, propaganda filled small minded one at that. |
Nwaikpe:Oga, check online, you can also use chatgpt, the stats are there, compare their army and find out for yourself. Mind you, When did America started to help Iran? Isreal sky was playground for Iran missiles and drones until Isreal and USA declared cease fire! twice now within a year. Once more, Isreal and Iran should have a fair game together! |
Arrowhead71:Then Trump is a liar then, speaks from both sides of the mouth, practically unstable man. Despite the naval blockade, ships loaded with oil are still leaving Iran ports till now, so whats the essence? |
[quote author=Nwaikpe post=139104634] ![]() I can bet, since 1940, when there has actually been an Arab consolidation (development of an arab region), you can't name one country with which Iran has fought other than Iraq. And in that Iraq war, Iran was beaten hands down and was only helped by the US since the US saw Iraq as an untrusted partner that had the capacity to become a regional power. The only boast of Iran is internal rebellion and unconventional armies like the Kurds, ISIS, etc. Saudi Arabia has fought far more formidable foes like Israel, Yemen, the Gulf wars, etc. And yes, everyone knows that you all take it as a religious war; that is why the victims in Iran are referred to as "martyrs." That is why ALL muslims support Iran That is why Muslim countries are afraid to rise against Iran, not because Iran can do anything more (they have done their worst), but because they are afraid of what their own countrymen (muslims) would say about it. But anyway, the good thing is that they are bearing the brunt of their decisions. Iran is even afraid of attacking Israel, which is at war with it. Also, Iran smells that weakness. That is why they have leveraged on it. Thank God for Israel. Internet is there for to verify, Iran and Saudi are not on the same level militarily, Iran has been under sanction for over 40 years! yet they are still formidable militarily. Iran is a shia Muslim country while Saudi and UAE are Sunni, both Saudi and UAE will burn Iran to the ground if they can, why do you think all US bases are located in all Middle east countries and not in Iran? Iran is their only enemy, USA and Israel forced the recent cease fire same they did in last year during 12 day war, While USA was low on munitions ,Israel was damn low on interceptors, While Iran kept using new missiles and drones .Winners don't ask for cease fire! Its unfair for Isreal and USA to take on Iran isnt it?, US should let Isreal face Iran alone without taking sides |
Washington ultimately doesn’t care that the Strait of Hormuz got closed. What upset the Trump Administration the most is that it was closed for the United States, Israel and their European and Gulf Arab vassals. Trump simply wants to blockade the Strait on its own terms, meaning cutting off Beijing’s energy supply and waging economic warfare against China. That is why the Pentagon is sending Marine divisions to the Persian gulf in recent days and also why Trump openly announced a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz despite declaring a ceasefire in Iran and Lebanon that both the administration and Tehran had confirmed had been based on Iran’s ten point demands. Of course the Trump Administration tried to walk it back by claiming the document they were given by Foreign Affairs Minister Araghchi was different from the Supreme National Security Council’s proposal. However, the administration has endlessly lied both about their justifications for the war, the realities on the battlefield, and the military capabilities of both the US and Iran. It must be noted that before Trump agreed to a ceasefire in Lebanon, which has already been violated numerous times by the Israelis, he deliberately planned for the Iran ceasefire to exclude Lebanon, reaching this decision only after a demanding phone call from Netanyahu. He was hoping that Tehran would respond to the Israel’s massacre of Lebanese civilians in Beirut so he would have an excuse to resume strikes on Iranian territory. Naval-based economic warfare has become the Trump Administration’s doctrine and China is the ultimate target. The United States wanted force Iran to reopen Hormuz for the markets of the Western aggressors while also closing the Strait for shipments to China. NATO’s Ukraine proxy war against Russia and US aggression in the Middle East, Latin America and Greenland are specifically about controlling global chokepoints and energy flows: ▪️ Russia ▪️ Venezuela ▪️ Persian Gulf ▪️ Panama Canal ▪️ Suez Canal ▪️ Strait of Hormuz ▪️ Strait of Malacca ▪️ Northern Arctic Route Trump is essentially declaring total war on the Belt & Road Initiative and on BRICS. And what used to be a geopolitical chessboard has now become a game of Ancient Chinese Go or of that old board game known as Risk. A major reason why Trump is waging these wars is at the behest of the demands of Netanyahu and the Israelis, but also of the energy oligarchs who have benefitted greatly from the rises of oil prices and the bankers who want to turn Iran into a debt colony for the IMF. However, there is an overemphasis on Israel’s influence when the US’ has spent decades planning to wage war against China. And this new naval economic warfare doctrine is the first step in Trump’s plans for World War 3. |
Nwaikpe:Lies from pits of hell, Iran has bigger army than saudi. Battle tested war veterans and disciplined army that fought for 8 years against Iraq. They fought against Al queda,ISIS, IDF and US army compared to saudi army with zero battle experience, same goes for all muslim countries in the middle east. The kurds were betrayed several times in the past by the US government, especially recently in Syria . Iran warned all of them before the war, all America assets in their country is a legitimate target in case US strikes Iran. The war wasnt a religious war, they were helpless, there was nothing they could do against Iranian missiles and drones, the America bases that were supposed to protect them were all destroyed by Iran. Saudi and UAE begged USA to strike Iran from the beginning, they see Iran as enemy. |
Smh, I thought opening the hormuz is your ambition, US Naval blockade is not even close to Iran ports, The U.S. Navy positioned several hundreds of nautical miles away, in the Arabian Sea far away from Iran between the area of Sohar in Oman and Bandar Jask. Why not near Iran Hormuz? Maria Bartiromo, Fox News correspondent, interviewed President Trump, She says Trump kept referring to the Iran War in the past tense, so she asked him: ‘Is it over?’, and Trump said: ‘It’s over’. Indicating that Trump is truly tired of the war and wants to bring it to an end soon, and there will likely be new talks.'' |
Crazy Don positions regarding the Strait of Hormuz from the beginning of the war until now: The beginning of the war: Do not close the strait! During the war: We will open the strait! Also during the war: opening the strait does not matter! Before the armistice: Damn you, open the strait! After negotiations: We will close the strait! Meanwhile, Chinese Defense Ministry: ‘Chinese ships continue to move in and out of the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. We have trade and energy agreements with Iran, which we will respect and abide by. We expect others not to interfere in our affairs. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, and has opened it to us.’ |

donleo92:IRAN newfound power derives from its control over the most important energy choke point in the global economy, the Strait of Hormuz. the recent high cost of petroleum products even in Nigeria was caused as a result of Iran closure of hormuz straight. Iran is serving every nation on the planet hot breakfast now! |
Cheap Propaganda from the west as usual, we are not surprised. Iran fully in control in hormuz and collecting 2m Dollars in Yuan is more than enough to drive them crazy, thousand of iranians have been on the street since day 1 of the war till date, not only in Tehran but also across the 31 province. |
Gerhards:Same question can be asked of Americans living in Iran, and why the USA is obsessed with Iran, so much they cant stop going there. |
[quote author=Jughead29 post=139012674]Nonsense, your Millitary capability is being desiminated, only for you to be spilling out useless venom everwhere to affect everyone so they can ask for ceasefire ? I thought you can battle despite having houthis, Hezbollah, Gaza, Quds etc against US/Israel 😂 face US and Israel your darling tormentors. Cowards Iran rejected cease fire five times now! waiting for Coward America and Isreali IDF to set boot on Iran, they did in vietnam and Afghanistan, we know how it ended. Iran is waiting for them both on land and at the straight of homuz, enough of Trump threats, he should man up and send his soldiers to Iran! Spoiler, US soldiers will return in coffin |
ZUBY77:Before the war, Iran was selling oil at $47 at discount, now Iran sells at $112. nine ships from different nations passed through homuz today after paying toll of 2million dollars in Yuan Trump doesnt know shit about homuz, that's why Hegeth sacked all the generals handling the war. If you think Iran is only relying on mines, you had better research well on how Iran planned to defend homuz and how they are currently doing and number of ships that have gone up in flames while attempting to cross it. Trump will have to burn Iran to the ground and exterminate the entire population to gain control of hormuz. |
simply UNHINGED! |
Gerhards:She is Iran, she was not even in US, By the way ,what is US doing in Iran? Obviously stealing oil as usual, The only OIL BANDIT nation in the world! |
Lies from pits of hell! Today Soleimani’s daughter has come out to deny arrest. Pls read. Soleimani’s daughter DENIES those arrested by US have ANY link to family 'NO relation to martyr Soleimani' US 'intends to divert world public opinion from their defeat against Iran'
|
whereas in Iran, people are outside rallying in support of the regime since first day of the on going war. |
"To be honest with you, my favorite thing is to take the oil in Iran " USA has always been an Oil bandit, stealing and forcefully taking control of other counties resources, Trump just take the stealing to another level. USA now steals brazenly. |
Omoawoke:ok sir. |
Omoawoke:Iranian are Persian not Arab. |
RaptorX:Tell them, the war is already affecting everyone globally, by the time the war escalates further, the heat will touch us all . |
BREAKING: The Houthis have officially announced they have joined the war. "We carried out our first military operation using ballistic missiles against sensitive Israeli military targets. Our operations will continue until the declared goals are achieved. We will continue until the aggression stops on all fronts," Houthi Armed Forces Spokesman Yahya Saree said. Meanwhile, Trump: “Iran hit world's biggest aircraft carrier from 17 angles we ran for our lives it was over”

osuofia2:Mujitaba is the supreme leader and he doesnt need to make public appearance! obviously you don't understand my post, Iran is at war now, there is no more central command, all province fight on their own, why do you think they keep firing barrage of missiles everyday non stop? missiles will keep flying ,with or without command of any commander or supreme leader! though supreme leader have a say to end the war. |
Iran has a complex military system. after the fall of saddamm Hussein in 2003, Iran understood the disadvantage of centralized army, cut off the head of the army , the whole army collapses. Iran then decentralized their army ,each of 31 provinces in Iran has its own army ,navy, weapon stockpiles, defense system, commanders ,etc. Each unit commander has long list of replacements same with supreme leader position. This current war has no off switch, each province will keep fighting, each commander killed will be replaced immediately. These guys are fighting with their lives! |
Trump, most of the countries you are calling for help are already striking deal with Iran and their Ships are already passing. Ships that transacts in Chinese Yuan are also getting passage. You should be more concerned about Chinese yuan being used as a criteria for passing the straits! |
