Impact of US Killing Iranian General on Nigeria opera.comJan 3, 2020 10:05 AM The US has once again, entered uncharted waters following it's bombing of an Iranian General, Qasem Soleimani this morning. As expected, this strike has brought a lot of tension between the White House and Iran with the latter threatening to revenge and the former claiming it was a US retaliation. It has also brought a constitutional deadlock between White House and Congress. However, top members of the President's party have praised the strike as bold and good. Today's analysis is to find the impact of this strike on Nigeria. What economic or political reactions will we get from this? Political Effects Iran has always been the mouthpiece of the Shite movement. It has been a major sponsor of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria(IMN) and also a beacon of hope for shites across the world. With Iran currently in recession following stifling US sanctions, there is little hope for Nigerian Shites who have been under threat. Remember the US did not negotiate El Zazalky's release alongside Dasuki and Sowore. This was done deliberately to weaken every Iranian ally across the world. The Nigerian government will be brazen in her resolution to silence shiites, and the US would do nothing about it. Finally, a war with Iran will remove US attention to human rights violations in Nigeria. The US government will deploy everything within its power to tackle the Ayatollah of Iran, leaving Nigerians to tackle their problems themselves. Economic Impact Nigeria will benefit from this face-off economically. The annilation of an oil power like Iran and the neutralization of Iraq will cause a hike in oil prices. The Nigerian government will be able to sell oil at higher prices this year, which in turn should stimulate the economy. However, with the world at war, Nigeria's plans to borrow from other countries might not materialize anymore. The International Community is most likely to reduce unnecessary spending due to the ongoing conflict. This means, there might be a huge budget deficiency in 2020. With the US spending more on war and less in aid, the world bank and IMF will have lesser spending power. What do you think could be other possible effects? Drop a comment 5 Likes |

TheExecutioner: So you all think this will be a pushover like Gulf War? An Iran that managed to destroy 90% of Isis network and still upheld Assad in Syria, despite crippling sanctions? Hope any of you teenagers witnessed Gulf war and sept. 11? Do you know how many American troops who died? And are you aware that the Gulf war became the breeding ground for Jihadists like Alqaeda and subsequently Isis? These new American soldiers better get their mental illness drugs ready: they will need them, when the truth finally hits home ; that the human spirit us greater than any technology. Donald Trump has been cornered and drawn into another useless war. And I noticed that Israel has been saying , 'our hand no dey there o!' , which they did to George Bush after tricking him into killing Saddam. pride...goes before a fall 3 Likes 3 Shares |

In his long military career, Qassem Suleimani left the Middle East littered with corpses. Now he has finally joined them. His death has closed one gruesome chapter in the region’s endless conflicts, only to open another, which could well prove even worse. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

No one can predict how this will turn out, perhaps least of all the two leading protagonists. Nothing about Donald Trump’s actions in the Middle East until now suggests that Suleimani’s assassination by drone outside Baghdad airport was part of a considered plan. For its part, the leadership in Tehran has clearly been shocked by Trump’s dramatic leap up the escalation ladder. The Suleimani killing dispensed with proxies altogether and aimed a direct dagger thrust into the heart of Iranian power. 3 Likes |

There was nothing inevitable about this conflict. Six years ago the legacy of loathing left by the Islamic Revolution began to fade. There was a multilateral agreement to curb Iran’s nuclear programme in 2015, and an unspoken mutual non-aggression pact with Suleimani during the shared campaign against Islamic State in Syria and Iraq. But with Trump’s abrogation of the 2015 nuclear deal and the collapse of the Isis caliphate, which largely removed a common foe, it was Suleimani who emerged as the US’s arch-enemy. 1 Like |

Over the past three years, the national security decision-making process, by which the pros and cons of US action were once carefully weighed, has been gutted. There are few high-level policy meetings any more. The independent thinkers in Trump’s orbit have left the stage, leaving a president who ultimately trusts his gut instincts above any expert. It is those instincts that have, more than any other single factor, led the US and Iran to this point, and in particular Trump’s visceral hatred of his predecessor, Barack Obama, and his diplomatic legacy, the 2015 nuclear deal. Destruction of the deal and the economic strangulation of Iran, became a central imperative of Trumpian foreign policy. Those aides who remain in the president’s orbit have survived because they know how to echo his impulses, his desire to destroy all traces of Obama, and who now share the president’s focus on his own re-election. The decision to kill Suleimani is likely to have been made with the November vote in mind – how it might play as a punchline on the campaign trail, finally eclipsing perhaps Obama’s conquest of Osama bin Laden. But it will be a story that will almost certainly be told against a backdrop of more attacks, greater uncertainty and a deepening sense of dread. 2 Likes |

Stop wasting ur time. Iran can and will never go into any type of open war with the US. They are begging the US to lift the sanctions imposed on them that's crippling their economy you're here talking of war. Do you think war is a child's play? Even Trump said the US does not want war. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Why are you guys fighting over US and IRAN Normally we should pray they both go to war. If IRAN is at war, it means less sponsorhip to terrorism (in fact the terrorist may be forced to go assist IRAN) Secondly there would be shortage in oil supplies which in turn increase the price which is a win for Nigeria. If US is at war it also means less economic sanctions on Nigeria which may also Strenghten our naira. So it's a win win.. 5 Likes |

I hope CNN would be happy now to see Usa going into war with Iran Anyways, its a win win for Nigeria.. Iran oil productions will be distracted by the senseless pending war while the oil price will soar up.. Cash out time for Nigeria. Russia just signed some deals with Iran some months ago, hope this wont escalate |

Minjim: Positive you say? That depends on how you look at it. If oil prices go up as a result of any conflict we would gain from it but we as citizens should be prepared for higher fuel fares. We import fuel because it is refined outside our shores. The higher the crude the higher the cost of refining. Either subsidy will increase (with the attendant corfuption) or fuel prices in Nigeria will increase. Your guess is as good as mine. |

The MSM will do everything to put Trump in bad light. It's all part of their 'OrangeMan Bad' agenda. A rogue nations coordinates an attack on a US Embassy. but when the US retaliates but smithering the lead attacker, it's suddenly a call for WW3? I'm sure the US is waiting for any country to say sheet against their action so they can quickly sama dem economic and political sanctions. 5 Likes 1 Share |

jumper524: A war with Iran will bring too many uncertainties to global economy, hence growth might slow down leading to low demand for crude oil and natural gas. Such war will also split over into Suni countries like Saudi Arabia and other Gulf state, such split over will also accept Suni sympathisers like Nigeria which may end up destabilising our very fragile democracy. Terrorist group sympathetic to Iran and the Shia may also use the opportunity to target Nigeria since it is a Saudi ally. Finally, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states are the largest sponsorers of terrorism all over the world because a majority of the world terrorist are wahabist. 2 Likes |

The USA invaded Libya, Irag and Afghanistan and nobody labelled their government terrorist or the USA a rogue nation but harmless Iran trying to protect her interest in the interest of external aggressor is then labelled a rogue nation 1 Like |
