Foreign AffairsRe: Iran Foreign Minister, Aragchi, Says He Will Meet Putin In Moscow On Monday by searchlight: 8:59pm On Jun 22, 2025
MasterMariner:
Go and stay and fight your war and Stop running around Okay.

With all the noise you guys were making nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction, why are you guys now running from pillar to pole for help.

Propaganda, lies, and deceits doesn't win wars but intelligence, technology, and military capabilities does.
Are you talking to crying baby Israel?
Foreign AffairsRe: Iran Leadership Vows Retaliation Over US Attack On Nuclear sites, Trump Reacts by searchlight: 9:53am On Jun 22, 2025
icedfire:
Let’s get some facts in order, because emotions are running high and misinformation is everywhere.



Claim 1: “Israel attacked Iran first, and Iran is a sovereign nation.”

This argument keeps popping up, but it ignores years—decades—of provocation and aggression from Iran.

Rebuttal:
Iran has been attacking Israel for years indirectly by funding, arming, and commanding proxies like Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen, and Shia militias in Iraq and Syria. These groups have been consistently launching rockets and bombs into Israeli territory. This isn’t hearsay — this is confirmed by global intelligence agencies and even openly admitted by Iran’s own leadership.

On October 7, Hamas launched a brutal and unprecedented terror attack on Israel — killing civilians, taking hostages, and sparking the current escalation. That attack was the first shot in this round of war, not anything Israel did to Iran directly.

Yes, Israel is now responding — as any nation would. And they’re doing it strategically, going after each proxy one by one — Hamas, then other militias, and now possibly turning their attention to Iran itself, the source of it all.

Even Hezbollah — Iran’s top ally — is now publicly saying they won’t join the war if Iran is directly attacked. That tells you everything. Iran is mostly alone, because even its so-called allies know how reckless this has become.



Claim 2: “If Israel and the U.S. have nuclear weapons, why can’t Iran have nukes too?”

On the surface, this might sound like a fair question — but look deeper.

Rebuttal:
There’s a massive difference between who holds nuclear weapons and how they intend to use them.

In Iran, every parliamentary session ends with chants of “Death to Israel, Death to America.” This isn’t symbolic. Iran backs it up with real-world violence through its proxies. They’ve made their intentions crystal clear — they want to wipe Israel off the map. So why should a nation with that mindset be allowed to have nuclear weapons?

Think of it like this: it’s okay for a police officer to carry a gun, because his job is to protect people. But should we hand a gun to an armed robber who already told us he plans to shoot someone? That’s exactly what giving Iran nukes would look like.

The U.S. and Israel having nukes doesn’t mean everyone should. There’s a difference between deterrence and destruction. Iran isn’t seeking peace. They are seeking power to enforce their ideology through violence.
So it is right to say that Nigeria has been attacking Chad because Boko Haram has been attacking them for getting to 20 years now and Nigeria are sympathizer to boko haram since your former president was nominated to represent them. Does this justify the US to bomb Abuja like they bombed Tehran? Just a friendly question sir.

malali:
They’re not just sowing chaos; they’re laying siege to your presidency, trying to hold it hostage with insecurity.

Tinubu, now is the time to reveal the grand strategist within. This is your moment to orchestrate the unexpected, to rewrite the rules of engagement.

You’ve mastered defense. But great leaders know when to shift the board and go on the offensive, not brazenly, but with finesse. Use layered proxies: third-party actors, invisible enforcers, and regional influencers to reshape the narrative and tilt the battlefield.

Play it brilliantly, they’ll beg you to mediate, not knowing you authored the script from page one.

Even if the world allow them for four solid years, you won't see what you want. Iran will be destroyed. Israel hasn't used its long range weapons yet, they are still taking out military assets and generals.
why is United States so interested in this case. If you leave Israel and Iran, Israel will be flattened within weeks. Iran is not Palestine.

dangermouse:
If it comes to an all out war, then you can say this. Israel has madebits mission clear, to take out Iran's nuclear capabilities. They have achieved 80% of this so far. They are not after Iran's civilians. Only the top military echelons in support of the nuclear program.

Know this and know peace.

Iran no be israel mate.
Yeah, Iran is way higher than Israel in military might. Everyone knows this.

The fear of the US., NATO and other Israeli western allies and even some Arab nations, particularly Jordan. . Iran will cease to exist of it dares.
Furthermore, Iran can get to Israeli airspace with it's fighter jets cos it'd first have to need to fly over Jordan, Iraq etc( America has military bases in these regions.

At least you can see that Iran are fighting the whole of NATO. They have done well already

How much is Iran spending on hundreds of ballistic missiles , they are just firing out anyhow.

Compare Israel economy and Iran's which one is better

A billionaire spent 100m and you are comparing to a terrorist spending all the money available on arms.

Which of the citizens of the States fared better?



Big lie, so ballistic missiles is dirty cheap? Are you kidding me?Old stockpile indeed. Why is ayatollah on the run for his life?
going by your submission, the citizens of the so-called terrorist country are used to hard life while the citizen of Israel cannot bear a blackout for this. Don't you think that the citizens of Israel will feel the effects of the war more than the citizens of the so-called terrorist country? Am I communicating?

Yes, they are.

An Iranian kamikaze drone cost only $20k, and Israel will need a $4m interceptor missile to take one out.
And this drone performed well in Ukraine again US and European air defense systems. Israel has finally bitten more than they can chew.

Without doubt, Israel can never take Iran 1v1. Never

Israel is roughly the size of New Jersey, while Iran has a massive stockpile of missiles.

I saw a video on TikTok where a former CIA director claimed that Iran could flatten Israel in a single day.

It makes me wonder what's holding Iran back.
War is not fought like that. They are waiting for US to come to their aid before they flatten Tel Aviv. Israel has bitten more than they can chew.

Stop thinking one side man. I knew that he will be released but aren't you thinking that the north will be angered the more on Tinubu's moves to release Kanu? Tinubu will lose more supporters in the north and if Obi is going to be in the ballot, he will still struggle in the south east. Face reality. Tinubu needs the South East more. Watch out for Tinubu's appointment and project from now to 2027. He will focus more on southern Nigeria and South East mostly because that's where work is needed. North will vote a Northern candidate and you know that.

Religion is the problem of this world. Christians are supporting Israel while Muslims are supporting Iran senselessly. Me as a person born in a Christian dominated area and being a Christian until I trashed religion, Israel alongside US is terrorizing and bullying everybody in the Middle East and anyone who put a resistance is seen as a terrorist.

You can only be a fool if you support Israel and criticize Russia. Israel bombed Palestine to ashes and US pretended as if nothing happened. Iran is fighting US and Israel simultaneously
