If the US have in their possession some nuclear weapons, I see no reason why other nation shouldn't have nuclear weapons too

Exactly. Sanctions or no sanction they are hell bent on advancing their military capability. The country has good scientists only God knows how far they would have gone without these crippling sanctions.
Iran has only one millitary satellite USA has hundreds of reconnaissance millitary spy satellites in orbit, including the super GPS network so who is the boss grin

Iran is in a pretty good position right now.

The US have exerted the maximum possible pressure they can give, short of an invasion.

There is no other sanction the US can apply.

Trump really fucckked up.

Good scientists and Engineers. Ironically there are lots of Persian engineers, especially the women, living and contributing to the US tech space. Same as Canada.

Iran as a country is like 200 years ahead of countries like Nigeria.

Iran should be smart enough right now.

America will test them in many ways , but they must not take the bait.
As we see in the Persian gulf.

Any all out war will give America the opportunity to obliterate the Persian civilisation once and for all.

Nice historical recap. However, you forgot to mention that immediately after Mossadegh appointment as the Prime Minister by the Shah, he became power-drunk, seizing refineries and holdings controlled by western companies, a la Robert Mugabe style. His greatest undoing was his land reform that pitted him against the Shah and other major landowners. In fact, Mossadegh flip flop policies did not affect only the elites, the masses were significantly impoverished too. With the aforesaid, and active connivance of aggrieved former allies and the Shah, his deposition was a fait accompli.

@ the bolded Iran has always catered for its citizens from the beginning. In the 50's Mossadegh expropriated the oil industry that was being exploited by British and American oil companies and gave it back to the people he did that because of the love he had for the Iranians but it's a pity that America and Britain had to unseat him in a coup and replaced him with a dictator that looted the country dry.

America hasn't forgiven them since they took the country back from U.S exploitation in 1979 revolution. That is why uncle Sam is still waging economic warfare on the country. Don't swallow western propaganda every nation has the right to defend itself from aggression. It is western sanction that is making life difficult for ordinary Iranians and they won't give up their military programme for the removal of western sanctions it's suicidal.

The military programme is the only thing deterring America from invading.

For intelligence gathering and the ability to guide intercontinental ballistic missiles to their target in the near future if they are ready to build them. As world powers are eyeing the outer space for power projection regional actor like Iran does not want to be left out.

So they can bomb airliners without being certain about what they're targeting? Anyways, every country has a right to defend themselves and pursue their interests.

I saw it passing through Biafra Airwaves two days ago.



The IRGC, which operates its own military infrastructure in parallel to Iran's regular armed forces, is a hardline force answerable only to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.


IPOB scientists/researchers are working really hard to restore Biafra's technologies that were destroyed by British after the 1970 seized fire.

Some of their best brains are in America, exiled by conservative Islam.

Wow! You really follow international politics closely sir. Unlike some foolish Nigerians who just take the concocted stories the MSM give them. Iran is a 3 thousand year civilisation. They are a strong Nation. Look at the advancement in Science and Technology even under sanctions for 4 decades.

You don’t have to call someone foolish, cause your opinion differ.

The Iran nation, we have now doesn’t have 3000 years history, it all began in 20s when Germany ordered them to change their name and in 70s, the Iranian hostage crisis, caused by America, this allowed ayatollah to come back from exile, and take over the country, turning it into an Islam nation, full sharia in force and turning himself to the supreme leader, thousands of Iranians have been immigrating to US due to this policy, but I won’t dispute, the fact that they’re intelligent.

Whenever Israel does things like this people would shout. Israelis are God's people, God bless Israel this and that but if Iran does the same thing it becomes a problem. As long as America continues its hostility towards Iran the country would feel compelled to defend herself.

Iran sees America and its western thugs as threat and a nuclear armed foe like Israel in the region will only make the country to go on the defensive. Iran is not out there to bully any country project like this has kept America and other hostile actors from invading the Islamic republic. They will continue to advance their military programme to defend themselves.
It is well within Iran's rights to bolster its defences, especially given the belligerence of neighbors such as Israel and hostile adversaries like United states and parts of of Europe to a far lesser extent. But I honestly think they're currently threading on extremely thin ice. This is hardly the right time to ratchet up tensions between them and US.

I say this because they seem not to have taken any lessons from their most recent confrontation with the West, which resulted in them losing one of their finest generals. If these were happening under another government that respects international and diplomatic norms, perhaps they'd get away with it, one might wager. But given a very erratic and impulsive character like Trump, it is anybody's guess what would happen in the hours or days ahead.

I don't for a moment think that all those satellites Uncle Sam has orbiting space are for reconnaissance, telecoms or scientific purposes alone. Something tells me a couple of them might have assault capabilities. If one could wage war on land, sea and air, you'd wonder, why not outer space! The Yankees have all these figured out eons ago I believe. That said, nothing stops Trump from activating some code and obliterating whatever it is Iran has in orbit. They'd wail, the diplomatic community might in solidarity, Europe would advice both parties pull themselves back and engage eachother cautiously blablabla, and in the end, it would all fizzle out after the press have their fill!!

Life goes on.

The days ahead would be quite interesting.

Since the American Civil War, the USA was not at war with one country or the other for only 6 whole years! But guess what, they never had the balls of attacking any country which has nuclear military capabilities. Iranians are not stupid at all. They know all too well how the world works and that having nukes is the only way which guarantees freedom.
