Foreign AffairsIran Indirect Strategy by validplanet(op): 3:31pm On Apr 13
Why Iran Targets Gulf Countries Instead of Directly Attacking the United States
The recent warning by Iran—that no port in the Persian Gulf or Sea of Oman will be safe if its own ports are threatened—has raised a key question: why would Iran focus on Gulf countries instead of directly attacking the United States?
The answer lies in strategy, geography, and power balance.
1. Avoiding Direct War with a Stronger Military
The United States remains the world’s most powerful military force. A direct confrontation between Iran and the U.S. would likely escalate into a full-scale war, something Iran seeks to avoid.
Instead, Iran uses an indirect strategy:
Avoid head-on military confrontation
Apply pressure where the U.S. is vulnerable
This approach is often called asymmetric warfare—fighting smarter, not stronger.
2. Targeting U.S. Allies and Economic Interests
Many Gulf countries—like Saudi Arabia and the UAE—are close allies of the U.S. and host key energy infrastructure.
By threatening or attacking these countries, Iran:
Indirectly pressures the U.S.
Forces U.S. allies to reconsider their involvement
Expands the conflict beyond just two countries
Recent reports show that energy routes and infrastructure in the Gulf have already been disrupted, affecting global oil supply. �
Reuters
3. The “If We Can’t Trade, No One Can” Strategy
A major reason behind Iran’s threats is economic survival.
If the U.S. blockades Iranian ports:
Iran loses its ability to export oil
Its economy suffers heavily
So Iran responds with a broader warning:
If we are blocked, we will disrupt everyone’s trade
This includes threatening shipping routes and ports across the region, which are critical for global oil supply. �
Reuters
4. Control of Strategic Chokepoints
Iran has a major geographical advantage: it sits next to the Strait of Hormuz.
About 20% of global oil trade passes through this narrow route �
The Guardian
Disrupting it affects the entire world economy
Rather than attacking the U.S. mainland, Iran can:
Threaten ships
Disrupt oil flow
Create global economic pressure
This gives Iran leverage without direct war.
5. Creating Global Pressure on the U.S.
By targeting Gulf infrastructure and shipping:
Oil prices rise sharply
Global markets react negatively
Other countries get involved diplomatically
For example, oil prices have already surged amid the tensions. �
Reuters
This creates pressure on the U.S. from:
Its allies
Global markets
Domestic economic concerns
6. Expanding the Battlefield (Strategic Diversion)
Instead of concentrating conflict between Iran and the U.S., Iran spreads it across the region:
Ports
Oil pipelines
Shipping lanes
This makes the conflict:
Harder to control
More expensive for all sides
Riskier for global stability
Experts note that Iran does not need to win militarily—it only needs to raise the cost of the conflict. �
CSIS
7. Political Messaging and Deterrence
Iran’s threats are also meant to send a message:
To Gulf states: “Stay out of this conflict”
To the U.S.: “Your actions will destabilize the whole region”
By doing this, Iran hopes to prevent further escalation while showing strength.
Conclusion
Iran is not attacking Gulf countries instead of the U.S. out of weakness alone—it is a deliberate strategy.
By focusing on the Gulf region, Iran:
Avoids direct war with a stronger opponent
Targets critical economic systems
Uses geography to its advantage
Forces global attention and pressure
In simple terms, Iran’s strategy is:
“We may not fight you directly, but we can make the entire region—and global economy—feel the impact.”

If you pay house rent for 10 years, you would have spent enough money to buy a plot of land.

Better for them to use the rent money to complete the house in the next 5 years

They can even use the house to take a bank loan to fix it

BusinessRe: Vdm Registers Blord As Trade Mark by validplanet(op): 3:17pm On Feb 23
validplanet:
if you have a business name, try register the trade mark...

trade marke is more important than business name
Registering a trademark on another person's existing registered business name can lead to legal conflicts, especially in Nigeria where trademarks often take precedence.

Trademark Precedence
In Nigeria, a registered trademark generally has stronger protection than a Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC)-registered business name. Courts have ruled that trademarks take priority, as seen in Sanofi S.A. v Sanofi Integrated Services Ltd, where later business names using "Sanofi" were ordered cancelled due to the prior trademark. This stems from the Trademarks Act and Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA), which allow CAC to direct name changes if conflicting with an existing trademark.

Owner's Remedies
The business name owner can challenge the trademark via opposition during registration, passing off claims if prior use is proven, or court action for cancellation if it causes confusion. Trademark owners, however, can seek injunctions, damages, or CAC intervention to force the business to rebrand. Prior use by the business name holder may support defenses like common law rights, but registration shifts exclusivity to the trademark holder.

Practical Outcomes
The outcome depends on timing, prior use, and industry similarity—first-to-register often wins unless fraud or deception is shown. Both parties risk litigation; business name owners may need to change names, while invalid trademarks can be cancelled. To avoid issues, search both CAC and trademark registries before registering either.

Ignorance is pain..

The global stars we have today were inspired by Fela…

Burna boy is great today just by being inspired by Fela.

There’s something spiritual about his music, it’s like it awakens the greatness in the DNA of a black person.
For your good, go and listen to Beast of no nation, unknown soldier, sorrow tears and blood and suffering and smiling.

There’s a reason why he is called greatness, make sure you listen with a headphone or AirPods, and listen from beginning to the end -and be absorbed in it, you will know why some people worship him as a god..
I listened to his songs when I almost given up and I tell you, it awakens a consciousness in me to stand up and fight for greatness in this life

VDM has said it several times tha he listened to Fela repeatedly and he’ got his spiritual awakening and inspiration from Felas music.
There’s something calls spiritual—- and Felas music is trance like, he got those soundtracks from another realm… again, go listen to beast of no nation from
Beginning to end and come back to this post..



Fear is an illusion

Any youth whey wan smoke or do wayward, na their fault be that’s…
Can you simply compare felas influence on the youth to that of Awolowo

Is it not a fact that a lot of youths started smoking hard drugs because they wanted to be like fela?

At least I know my next door neighbor who was influenced into hard drugs because of fela

Awolowo established free education in the western Nigeria. That has influenced many doctors, lawyers and engineers of today to study then

What honors has been given to Awolowo

You can say Grammy is all about music.


I don't even know the impact of music to the economy if not that it rewards only the singer

Compare his achievements with that of Awolowos free education

GorillaApp:
What I was expecting to see. Combat is becoming more intelligent by the day. Countries are looking for strategies to reduce exposure to their troops

I have continued to notice the absence of air support In this fight against terrorism. Where is the air force? In western climes, troops would have called for air support, supply the coordinates and allow the air boys to do their jobs, then ground forces will come back and mop up stragglers and survivors.
In Russia/ Ukraine war, ordinary drones have been weaponised and used against the Russian positions to great advantage.
To me, this video right here, there is no coordination. The result will be abysmal.

For the guy walking around aimlessly in the thick fray of battle? That man is obviously in a dazed state of shock. Nothing anyone will tell me
Thank you so much.

Nigeria having the strongest ground force in the world makes no sense without a strong air force.

What has changed is that US drones are feeding the Nigerian military high command with real time updates as to the precise GPS coordinates where the terrorists are massing. This is why many more air strikes are being recorded as successes. No place to hide for the virgin hunters now that Uncle Sam's eye in the sky is working hand in hand with Nigeria's air force and army.
Can't the same drone drop bombs on the terrorists?
