LegendHero: To the people that dosen't know much about the timeline of event between USA and Iran, and those of you that always claim Iran are terrorists for standing up against bullies, let me summarize a few:
During the 1950s, USA was wary of communism and trying to clip the hands of the soviet union (communists) around the world.
During the 1950s, the British owned Anglo-Iranian oil company (Now known as British Petroleum) controlled Iran's oil refining capacity.
In 1951, the Iran government under PM Mohammed Mossadegh told the British that majority of the funds from the refined oil should go to Iranians, the British rejected the idea, the Iran government responded by nationalizing the British refinery in the city of Abadan.
Winston Churchill UK new PM was furious about this and he suggested to the CIA (USA) that the Iran communist party (Tudeh) is getting powerful and that they are taking over the country. The USA feared a communist country and they were drafted into Iran's case.
In 1953, the US and UK jointly began a coup against Iran in Operation Ajax (Planned from the USA embassy in Tehran), this coup deposed Mossadegh and put the power in the hands of the Shah. The Shah ruled with an absolute monarchy (Iran was practicing democracy before the coup).
People hated the Shah because they see him as a western puppet, also accused him of unpopular policies coupled with the harassment from his secret police called SAVAK. The SAVAK were trained mostly by American and Israeli military.
In 1979, Islamic revolution happened in Iran installing Ayatollah Khomeini. The people knew the USA planned the earlier coup from the USA embassy in Tehran, so to make the new revolution succeed further, they laid a 444-day hostage crisis in the embassy. Iran became enemies to the USA. Although conspiracy theories said USA supported Ayatollah indirectly (USA has always been double faced).
During the Iran-Iraq 8-years war. US heavily arms Iraq to oust increasingly successful Iran and then secretly armed Iran too to save them from Iraq. The Iraqis were led by Sadam-Hussein.
The west later fell-out with Sadam Hussein and invaded Iraq. The USA noticed that Iraq and Iran are starting to get closer because the majority Shia of Iran were visiting the holy sites in Iraq as the Baathist regime was removed. Ties grew between Iran and the new Iraq.
The USA accuses Iran of supporting terrorism because they are opposing the USA continued presence in Iraq. Iran school of though was that if USA remains in Iraq successfully, then they can invade Iran in the future.
George Bush label Iran as the axis of evil and they were accused of building atomic weapon. The USA sanctioned them and the Iranians signed an agreement that they will not pursue atomic weapon for 10 years if sanctions were lifted in 2009.
Trump broke the treaty, increased pressure on Iran which led to the current provocations and hullabaloo.
USA has a powerful weapon of the media. The always label opposing minds terrorist and with the current stigma on Islam, it is not hard to convince people. For all of you, Buhari labelled Nnamdi Kanu a terrorist which all of us knew he was not. If the USA suddenly drop a bomb on Nnamdi Kanu due to that pronouncement will you be happy?
Note: I love USA coz they are a great country but sometimes they use their power to oppress the weak. Truly this world politics is like the animal jungle where the powerful oppress the weak.
Let us educate you as well: This is from Iranian born.
OROSUNBOLB: Oloriburuku omo ale ! You are just an inconsistent stup..I'd liar! I bursted your fake double life here and that's the bone of contention. I never knew a "Yankee" could speak Yoruba language until you started your ewi here !
Emi atawon baba e legbe . I've achieved already ,and still waxing strongly,whatever you or any of your poverty stricken generation can ever dream of attaining in life.
What is my business and that of my family with whatever Mr Buhari is doing to your likes in Nigeria? Mi o ran 'ya yin o ! Did I participate in the fraud you called election in Nigeria ? My point is stopping calling yourself what you are not actually. That is a fraud ! Some of us here can help you guys if you need one but your fraudulent nature won't make you voice out. The truth is that none of your family has ever stepped out of Nigeria before.
Come off my mention stu.pid wannabe ! I can take you out of Nigeria before Buhari finishes your life and that of your family members only if you can humble yourself.
Pained again . You wrote 300 words. I am getting there . I am really under your skin. You that never solve your family problems wants to solve someone else. Cant you see you are cursed.
Omo Olosho oooooooooooooooooooooooo. Iya re fobo Jona Mama PVSY BURN FIRE Omo po bi OSAN.
MKULTRA: I wish am fighting among this US troops They are just too prestigious And If I die, I die for a great country(the good guys) Unlike the shithole we have here.
GO USA kick those terrorists butts God is with you.
KingAzubuike: Many of you kids just happy about a potential war . You are too excited and naive. . That's impossible. Worse that can happen is a cold war. The world have gone beyond all these. This is the 21st century and it takes a whole lot for a war to break out easily like that. A cold war is the worse that will happen.
You are so correct. Nobody wants to lose their internet.
OROSUNBOLB: Ani oloriburuku ni iya to bi e ! How can you possibly give what you're lacking ? A product of accidental semen discharge between a dirty prostitute and a notorious armed robber in a godforsaken brothel ,somewhere in the land of demons, is here shamelessly forming a Yankee on Nairaland.! Omo irankiran, ti yalaya e ma baje ni. Yankee kills your father dere !
Eleribu. . I make you write epistle. I turn am to G.O Fagunwa . This shows the pains
Obo iya e ma ti rare o. Fatherless kid on Nairaland. Don't worry next level is frustrating your life and long may it continue.
Scottallen: The proof is in history. It continues till this day. Many Black Americans were treated like shit till the time of the civil rights movement.
White people don't like Black Africans. Arabs, Iranians, are worst! They are same!
Lol. You fall hand.And Nigerians don't like Ghana. South Africans hate Nigerians. Hausa hates Igbo.
Can you see everybody is racist? When last did white kill blacks like they kill your brother in South Africa? You are so blind to racism around you.
Cantonese: Hopefully this threat of war between the USA and Iran will fizzle out. There is no point taking sides as all parties in it will be affected and it will also affect proxies in the middle east, Asia, Europe and America.
Truthfully the American foreign policy with seems to be too meddlesome. If Saddam Hussein and Muammar Ghaddafi were left alone the world would not be seeing the kind of crisis facing the middle east and parts of Africa today. The spill over effect of the American destruction of the Ghaddafi regime is what we even feel now in Nigeria with ISWAP.
We also hope that this attack will not fast track the impeachment of Donald Trump with the House of reps claiming that he did not see authorization to launch that attack.
1. It was France and Britain that cajoled Obama to join them to oust Gadaffi. You have to mention France the chief architect. The only contribution America did was, "send us a coordinate" we will Tomahawk it.
2. Donald Trump does not need authorization to launch attacks In Iraq. He was compelled to seek authorization to attack Iran not Iranians in Iraq.
The US killed scores of Russians mercenaries in a failed attack 2 years ago in Syria that no one talked about.
OROSUNBOLB: Oro wo lowa lenun omo irankiran e ? Oro ti awon babanla e gbo ti won fi pokun so lo fegbo. Ori iiya e ati baba e jo daru papo ! Has any of your miserable and accursed generations ever stepped out of your erosion ravaged land of demons before ? And here you are on Nairaland forming a fake Yankee! Yankee kill u der F--L. If you really want to know how fake you are, go back to your earlier posts. Its so obvious your stupidity has damaged your memory irreparably. Omo ole !

OROSUNBOLB: Ori awon babanla e ti daru. Omo ale to n fowo osi juwe ile baba e! Nobody is assuming any shit here. I simply bursted your fake ass F-L. You're nothing but a stup...id american wannabe omo olori pelebe .

Y0rubaPrince: How did China help Russia when Russia is the one who stole large chunk of ChineseLand they recoverd from Japan?
China that was busy fighting themselves helped Russia?
I said China helped the US. Can you re-read? Russia and the US never allied to fight Japan. Russia already had Japan on their radar. There is a Soviet–Japanese Neutrality Pact of April 1941.
OROSUNBOLB: Will you crawl back to whatever cave you came out from F -L ? " I am not a Nigerian....." blah,blah .Of course you are not but a poverty ravaged biafran criminal hiding from law enforcement agents in one of the slums of Lagos. Ori e yi danu !
