I don't know why such topics are on front page. No country on earth is a match to the USA in an open war even Russia. U are talking about a country with a navy bigger than the next 5 biggest navy nations, the country with d biggest Airforce. A country who spends over a billion dollars every 24hrs on its military since 9/11. Trump would have full veto powers in a time of war dats what he wants Iran is only using demslves as d scape goats.
Russia has over 6000 live nuclear warheads.

I don't see how any sane individual can support the US who are known for war mongering.

First of all the United state are wrong to enter an international air space to fire using a drone on a citizen of another country.

I don't see in the news where a foreign government come into the USA to unleash a weapon. It never happen.

Why does the United state feel they can do that and get away with it?

Did Iran government ask for help before firing that drone?

How ever I you loom at it the United state are wrong.

Up until yesterday this was the first time I'm hear of that man.. And from images and videos I've seen he seem like a man who was loved by Iranian citizens.

If y'all support this.. I hope y'all are gonna support the USA when they come in here and fire a weapon killing Nnamdi kanu or sowore simply because someone labeled them terrorist.

You failed to realise how much aids in funds goes to the Iranian government account from US as support yearly. Iranian government cant curb the act of terrorism in the nation and they cant go against it and the government cant ask US to withdraw its support.

sugar daddy do wedding for u and u gave him strict orders not to interfere with ur marriage, Nigga u get mind.

Your mouth should be where u spend and that's why no court or even iran can sanction US for flying drones.

Why this is a war America may find extremely difficult to win.
Sure, America has the upper hand when it comes to military tech. But Iran is surely no push over. Allied with China and Russia, Iran is also bordered by them and is the largest foriegn market for their weaponry. Neither Russia nor China will want to have America on their doorsteps which is why China keeps propping up North Korea as a buffer between it and the American allied South Korea. Russia also keeps a close tab on its border neighbors. Should any of the countries that border Russia even think of becoming allied with the US, Russia invades that country. We saw them do it to Georgia in 2008 and more recently, Ukraine. Russia and China will not hesitate to side with Iran against America should this conflict become hot.

Now, unlike Iraq and Afghanistan, Iran does have some bite behind it's bark. The thousands of yakhont missiles Iran possesses are enough to shut down shipping in the strait of homuz.

THE STRAIT OF HOMUZ AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT.
This strait is where a majority of the ships humanity depends for international movement of goods must pass. It lies very close to Iran. If this strait is filled with anti-ship mines, global shipping will be drastically reduced. Also, the strait lies very well within the range of thousands of Iranian artillery and missiles. Any American war vessel that finds itself within this strait, will be sunk. America may posses some of the finest anti ballistic missile technology there is, but none of them have been battle tested. The Patriot missile system is garbage. Iran has also recently purchased the most advanced aerial denial missile system in the world. The Russian built S-400. This system can engage and bring down simultaneously, around 96 different targets! The Americans have nothing close to this.

IN WHAT OTHER WAY CAN IRAN RETALIATE?
For one, the Iranians have a very advanced cyberwarfare department. Expect to see them attacking American electricity grids, banking systems and even healthcare industry.

The Iranians also have sleeper cells all over the world that can be activated to Target specific Americans. One such sleeper cell they had deep in Washington DC, was able to carry out an attack on a Saudi Arabian General that was on their list.

Expect the Iranians to also Target all Trump properties across the globe. These are legitimate Targets.

Iran has equipped Hezbollah in Lebanon with thousands of missiles. At Irans word, Hezbollah can launch these missiles into Israel. The iron dome anti missile system Israel possesses can't cope with such massive volume of incoming projectiles. Remember that 14 years ago, Israel and Hezbollah engaged in serious military combat. Israel could not defeat Hezbollah and a truce had to be called.

This conflict will likely become a war of attrition. Iran can afford to lose thousands of its soldiers. Can the United States do same?

In all, this was a poorly thought out decision by Trump. The world awaits the consequences.
You were making sense until you took sides, keep deceiving yourself... Abiiii US don misbeehive.... Oya naa IRAN perform your magic.

The biggest navy, airforce and trillions of dollars did not win them the Vietnam war, the Korean war and the Afghan war. All the wars they won was fought with allies against a poorly organized and not determined foe.
Iran can obviously not fight a conventional war with the US, but Iran is master of unconventional or asymmetrical war. This has been shown in the hezbollah wars and the Houthi war. Iran would just be hitting taegets of US and it's allies and run. The US will retaliate back by hitting targets inside Iran. This can go on for decades. The US cannot invade and capture Iran easily. It will come at tremendous costs in terms of casualties and costs. The US can't take high casualties.

I feel very sorry for Iran. They are too emotional. When the so called Soleimani was killing Americans they didn’t realize Americans will come for him or what?

I will advise them to go into audio war and leave it at that. America is very hungry and angry for war right now. Don’t even tempt them.

Put religion aside. These Iranians are not cowards like Nigerian youths whose souls and minds have been caged by their oppressors. They are fearless and support each other, not like Nigerian youths who are selfish and self-centered. Forget it, let all US allies support her, Iran would cause a monumental havoc that US would forever remember.

See,they are not going to start calling Imams and Alfas or run to mosque for shelter, they would face the war together. They are ready to pay the price with their blood. If it were to be in Nigeria, religious houses would be full by now.

Nigerian youths, stop ranting. Drop your keypads and face your oppressors. Let them know the CHANGE they poised should start with them. Stop unnecessary arguments and flimsy issues that would not take the country to another level.

The War between them will never get here. You can read,watch and listen to news to keep yourself abreast of the latest development. However,don't watch others fighting while your house is not intact.

I really don't understand how guys like you reason. It took the US less than two months to topple the regime of Saddam Hussein in 2003 after they declared war on Iraq. Iraq had the 4th largest armed forces in the world back then. What makes you think Iran is any match for the United States?? Iran can only make noise just like Saddam did but they will be trampled under America's feet if they dare attack any American targets

They may be right if truly Iran wants to go to war.

Because by the time they are through with USA and Israel, some of us might not even have any semen left to ejaculate again.

I just hope they don't transfer some aggression on those holding ElZazaky because Trump has pushed Iran into Overdrive.
And this anger knows no mercy.

That is what I call a nation.
A country that knows when push has turned to shove.

If it were one country now, it's Minister of Communication would have since given a press release denying the death of any General.

He'd call the missile attack a case of firecrackers and 'knockouts' from excited children celebrating the New Year then blame the opposition for heating up the polity by spreading fake news.

While the Presidential media aide will say that the said General committed suicide just to apologize to the US.

Bad is bad.
I love the U.S of A but I stand with Iran.
Those holding El Zakzaky are muslims looking to crush Shi'ite into the mainstream Islam. Have you wondered why since Buratai clashed with Shiite over blockage of roads in 2015 he has never clashed with Suuni muslims who block road in major cities during their Friday prayers? That's cos the current persecution against Shi'ite is largely a internal Islamic struggle.
