Destroying Iran will cost US a lot, the whole region will sink, Iran won't or dare provoke US, if you are current, you will see how careful they are, but they have made it clear that if you invade their territory, they will fight you. Wars are not won by sophisticated weapons alone, but the determination of the people. what did you learn from the Iran-Iraq war? didn't you see how Iran fought?

As for Hezbollah, Isreal can't do shii, give respect where it's due, Hezbollah is strong, I even read on quora how Isreali soldiers that fought the Lebanese war were acknowledging the strength of Hezbollah fighters. Those guys fought hard, they were not like Hamas, do you know despite a constant bombardment of Lebanon critical infrastructures, Hezbollah TV and radio station never went off?, Isreal was clueless, they didn't even know what to do. They bragged of ending the war within one week of air bombardment, little did they know Hezbollah were all positioned in a fortified location. In some battles 100 men guided an entire village, and IDF couldn't even progress further. If not for airstrikes, The casualties on Israeli soldiers would have doubled that of Hezbollah.

They were fearless, tough, brave,well determined, even Israeli soldiers won't write them off, now if Isreal tries rubbish, they will be facing a battle hardened Hezbollah militias who have gained a lot of experience from the battle in Syria (They are fighting side by side with Russia troops, such experience can't be bought with money).

When America destroyed Saddam Hussein and his Iraq, it was the greater power of the region.
In fact, Iraq was planning to invade Iran after already invading kuwait. That was how powerful they were .

It was because America destroyed Iraq that created the vacuum for Iran to rise.

America would destroy them as well at very little cost.
America have superiority in the air and sea. Iran would lose every asset-asset contest.
They are not Russia.

The only people that would suffer is the middle east as usual.
Americans would be fine, thousands of mile away.

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
Efewestern is teaching you, learn! Why did America not decimate Vietnam? Shebi dem no get nuclear weapons that time? Trump is just farting through his mouth and you guys go on cheering him. SMH.

You want America to use nuclear weapons on a non nuclear nation to show they are powerful?
You sure say you well.

The last time America used nuclear weapon on a nation, that region has still not fully recovered.

AroleOduduwa2:
There are countries America can never go to war with, Russia, China, Iran and N. Korea. Just to set the record straight, these countries are waiting for any provocation from the USA so they can have a reason to attack America, the Americans knows this and they will always vote no war in the senate.

A war with any of these countries will cripple America economy, everyone knows this.

The US have learnt from the Vietnam War. They don't need to invade anymore with so much ground forces.

They would just pound Iran totally from the air and sea and send israel to do the mop up on the ground.

kemicalreaction:
If war should break out, it will be difficult for the ships to pass through the strait since it's on Iranian territory.

If the strait is blocked, a lot of US allies in the middle east will surely suffer

It would be a greater justification for America to crush Iran.

The US would crush the Iranian navy to the ground even if it means invading the country, which would happen anyway in all out war.

Threaten American economic supremacy or global trade and they would end you.
Unless you are Russia or China.

Efewestern:
Who ever said Iran can defeat or confront US? can't you read and comprehend, or even read what everyone is saying here, Iran is no match to US, but US will find it extremely difficult to defeat Iran in their "Soil", Iran is not Iraq or Libya, but one of the major actor in the region, a force to reckon with, and you can't just say US will defeat them with a swift victory in their territory, even Americans won't agree with you on this, Iran has fought several battles in the past with no support from anywhere, yet they came out victorious, they won't sit down and watch you attack them, they will Fight, and the casualties on both sides will be very high. No country in her right mind will start a war with US, but if you invade any territory, regardless of how mighty you think you are, you will meet a great resistance, like the Vietnam War etc.

Invade and destroy Hezbollah , like they did in 2006 right? Isreal with her 30k troops were unable to defeat a rag tag men with just Ak7 and some few rockets, worst is they were not more than 2k, despite air superiority, sophisticated weapons, etc, they were chased out of labenon, that was in 2006 oh, now compare a conflict with both parties, now that Hezbollah has grown to become one of the world most strongest militia, even stronger than Lebanon military, Isreal isn't looking for any excuse to invade, Hezbollah dug a lot of tunnels last year, why didn't Isreal use that as an excuse to attack them like they always do to Hamas? I guess you know why.

Hezbollah destroyed the myth that Isreal can't be defeated in the 2006 war, in fact if not for them, Isreal would have annexed Some labenese territory. Read more and stop being ignorant.

Iran would fight no doubt, but they would be destroyed.
There is no magic or hope they can apply. No other scenario.

Hezbollah is a piece of cake. They reason they exist is because Israeli hands are tied by the global considerations for restraint.

In an all out war, Israel would invade Lebanon, fish out any man with Hezbollah sympathies and end them.

Cc Zoharariel, AppleYard, Scully95.

If the US should start a war with Iran, all Iran needs to do is just to block the strait of hormuz and watch the US economy cripple

Block the strait of Hormuz with which ship?

They or would be sunk in minutes.

dermmy:
Lol. This would be a prolonged war and america should be ready to sacrifice many american troops what americans at home don't want. America got entangled in vietnam she had to pull out, this time america would suck herself into a quagmire. Oh yea america has everything to bomb Iran back to the stone age the way it did in vietnam yet they couldn't achieve their objective by stopping the Communist North from taking the capitalist South, America pulled out of the war because the pressure at home was too much. Victory does not come with the number of weapons you can deploy. Iran is not 1960s Vietnam

There is no prolonging anything. America is now deadlier than ever before.

They have learnt from the Vietnam War. The bulk of the war would come from the air and sea with missiles pounding Tehran to the ground.
US aircraft carriers Would take over the Persian gulf.

Israeli forces would carry out the ground invasion when Iran have been totally pounded.

Efewestern:
You are probable ignorant about international politics, or should I say you know nothing about the Persians. No doubts Iran can't even dare confront the US unprovoked, that will be their end, but US will find it extremely difficult to defeat Iran in their soil, due to terrain, how determined the Persians are, allies in the region, etc.

Wars are not only won due to Sophisticated weapons, if not Isreal wouldn't have been defeated by rag tag Hezbollah militias, US wouldn't have been defeated by ill equipped Vietnam military, Saudi Arabia would have for a long time won the crisis in Yemen, etc.

Iran is threading with care, and they know they don't match the US, but if US dare attack her, they will fight US with all they have, The Persians fought Iraq will little international support even when Saddam Hussein was being supported by the entire western world, Iran back then had few weapons and depended largely on Foreign countries for military hardwares, yet they were able to push Iraq out of Iran and fought like never before, in fact they changed the objective of the war and was about encroaching Iraq. Iran fought to keep its sovereignty with tooth and nail even when Iraq was using chemical weapons on them.

Now fast forward to 2019, Iran has so many affiliated militias in Lebanon (Hezbollah, strongest in the world, that even the almighty Isreal would think twice before stealing Lebanese land), Houthi Shia groups (Yemen militias kicking Saudi ass in Yemen), Syria military (If not for Iran, The rebels would have defeated Bashar al-Assad), Iraq (Iraq is now an ally of Iran). That's not all, Iran has a homegrown military industry, they produce their own rockets, guns, submarines, aircraft (thou inferior), sophisticated missiles, etc, now tell me how you intend defeating a country such as this with ease? or you think Iran is Libya?

US knows this and they know invading Iran unprovoked will end their influence in the region, this war won't only end in Iran, it will affect all Middle East countries including Saudi Arabia and Isreal, Just an order from Iran and see how Hezbollah unleash their madness.

US is powerful, but wars are not always won by that. a war with Iran isnt what we should be praying for, as millions will perish. God heal the Middle East.

Stop talking nonsense.
A war with America would see Iran totally finished.
America would pound them on earth, air and sea.

It would be a swift victory and nothing would happen in the middle east.

If hezbollah tries anything, isreal would have the perfect excuse to invade and destroy.

That is a fact.
The brown tooth nigga would so lose the south.

Ekpeitit:
True,Igbos MUST produce the next president of BIAFRA.
This Igbo people will never get sense,how can you use the word MUST in a democratic setting, na by force?
What if I'm not comfortable with an Igbo president, will I vote for one?
MUMU PEOPLE, okay produce the next president make I see.

Look at this idiot.

So you can stop igbos from becoming president?
Who is we?

Nothing to see here.
If you talk too much, they would accuse you of hate.

nairaland is hilarious.

..

..

Now this is what you call breasts. It's different from boobs.

This is what I expect ohanaeze to focus on.
Regional wide infrastructural master plan.

Next time when igbos enter mainstream politics, I hope they get more serious about infrastructural development instead of pursuing nonsense.

Front0lane:
Look at the fools above ?! It’s okay for Atiku to hire build his image but it’s a waste of tax payers money should Buhari the president do the same.

Shut up.
You and your fellow cankerworns lambasted atiku for doing that.

Besides, atiku is not your president.

Reference:
An inspiration to all folks in all walks of life that an unrelenting pursuit of excellence can only lead to unrivaled success. Not only has he improved Sterling but every single player he has come across in that great City team the past three seasons, and is doubtlessly responsible for elevating the Premier league to the pinnacle of Europe with his ultra competitive game play by which all the teams around him have raised their game and outperformed even their own expectations.

The records speak of his achievements. An unprecedented domestic treble that makes nonsense of the charity shield for the first time ever and four premiership teams in the finals of europe all down to him.

What impresses me most about him is that I strive to emulate is.... he just wants to get better and better....scary.. The club, Premiership and England FA must do all in their power to keep him for a few more seasons amidst interest from Juventus specifically and any and every team out there that wants a piece of history written in their time....

Legend.

Going to juventus is like going backward.

There is no other greater place than where he is right now and I am sure he knows it.

The premier league is the pinnacle. And city is the best team in the world.

A Ghanaian based award.
No wonder Ghanaians full there like water.

A fiancee cheated on you and you are still asking irrelevant question.

Move the fucckk on.

na which kind human being you be sef?

You want to marry a lady that will eventually open her legs for a coworker just because he is fine.

Ada hegeberg is really good. No wonder she won the ballon d'or.

She is not going to the World Cup due to a self imposed exile to protest sexism.

He is one of the new apc converts.

Ole barawo.

I want to believe this is not our first team.

iammo:
stop flatering yourself or your tribe, the comment also used Odi massacre of bayelsa to show obasanjo's hypocrisy who cares about igbo or what igbos say

Then you think the people of bayelsa are so emotional as to attack the messenger in an issue that does not correlate.

You must think very little of them.

And some sons of belial from Yoruba land said okorocha is hated because he belongs to apc.

Governor Dave umahi is probably the closest man to buhari in southern Nigeria and he is not hated.

iammo:



The General that massacred and burnt a full cummuinity in the same south south to ground for demanding their resources plundering and enviromental degradation to stop, is blaming the one who paid ransom to secure the release of innocent children.

while the people from the region whose people were massacred in cold blood are now hailing the one responsible for their woes, Obasanjo who lead the Comando forces in a brutal massacre and destruction of Biafra forces till Ojuckwu ran off to cote'dvoire has a statue Erected in Imo State, while i doubt ojuckwu has any

what hypocrisy, Sentiment and Short Memory / lack of history would do in nigeria heeen even Abacha would have become hero of democracy if he was alive.

So after all said and done, how has it change the truth he has said?
You believe igbos are so emotional as to fall for your antics and attack the messenger.
And Tommorrow, you will call them "bitter" people.

You are satanic.

Ovamboland:
We have seen the capacity of the Ibo at transformational leadership from the example of their governors and other political leaders, all i can say is we are not impressed with any of them.

Then I guess you must have been used to Obama level governance where you come from.
That is why your part of the country is like Sweden.

jelel6:
To be honest, pep is going to be a BIG PROBLEM for people trying to win the EPL and other cups as long as he remains there.

I mean, his exploits in England has finally cemented his name as perhaps, the only coach in the world who's guaranteed to win you trophies while playing exceptional football.

As a rival fan, I want him out of Man City but he's a good personality to have in any league and he's undoubtedly the major cause in the recent level of the top 6 because he's raised the bar so high.

They had a very great chance of at least reaching the champions league final this season since they avoided Liverpool and Barcelona. I don't know how they weren't able to defeat Spurs over Two legs.

Pep is going to turn EPL to Bundesliga or serie A I'm afraid

There is too much money available to other teams for epl to turn to serie a.
