BrutalJab:


I'm not supporting Iran, I was telling that guy that Iran isn't a work over too.


Iran will cause damage to innocent Americans too

OK, THATS TRUE

moorevic:

That's what the usually say before invading then end up fight for years. Gowon said same thing

Abi na, the war itself is different from all the assumptions

So because Iran gave Lebanon support means Israel will come out victorious? Have you forgotten Israel gets support from the US?

What is the military population of Israel compared to that of Iran?
Both active and reserved population?

bjsteve:



but Israel somehow will come out victorious. I remember the Gaza war and the one with Lebanon against Israel. Israel won convincingly despite Iran supporting Lebanon to them with missiles

By the grace of God i can now go to sleep with my TWO eyes closed knowing President Donald Trump got my back, no more underground plots of terrorism that goes on and nothing happens as it used to be the case during Obama era, now its fire for fire, if you think you can disturb world peace Trump will TAKE YOU OUT! To hell with Islam!, let them do their worse, they are known for it anyways but they will and must not MISS paying for their mistakes with THEIR OWN LIVES. No more tolerating these known ENEMIES OF PEACE called MUSLIMS, you kill and you get killed simple!. Bring it on IRAN!!!

ItooWorWor:

You are right they take cover before it hit their base, but Trump dared Iran to attack any US interest in the middleeast and Iran attacked their base and all Trump could say was all is well, we have the strogest must advance millitary in the world by far, abeg who asked him

lol I can't stop laughing.

PrecisionFx:



Tel Aviv is scared of only one country in the middle east and that's Iran.

Even Saudi Arabia and The whole Arab world have bn scared of Iran since they started nuclear enrichment.

No one wants a religious ayatollah, who is only answerable to god, to be in charge of nuclear weapons. But America itself destabilized the country Iran and brought the ayatollahs into power.
George Bush's stupid words & posturing eventually made north Korea get a nuclear weapon & the way Iran is going forward wt their enrichment since Trump pulled out of the deal they made earlier, Trump will be responsible for them getting a nuclear weapon too.

CrimeKsmart:
I hope all these stupid Igbos calling for war are now ready for it by sacrificing their men to fight for U.S since Iran has shown they are ready for the war.

U.S is the real terrorist country

Calm down. USA will beat Iran, Nigeria, Iraq and is real at the same time. you never know those people sha.

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.
NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO STUDY THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS.

All u ignorant biafrans just spew stupidity everywhere. What do u mean Muslims? America & the Arab countries are allies who hate iran.
Iran has been fighting muslim terrorist groups ISIS and co for over a decade now. These fights are all about selective interests.

No one is disputing the fact that Soleimani fought well to resist the chaotic attacks of Isis . But that alone does not rationalise him to be the hero of the story. There's is more to that man than meets the eyes.

There you go with the spurious conspiracy theory of America being the aid of terrorists in the middle East. What's your proof? Don't reply if you don't have any.

The fact is that USA has a long history of backing terrorist groups will surprise only those who watch the news and ignore history.
The CIA first aligned itself with extremist Islam during the Cold War era. Back then, America saw the world in rather simple terms: on one side, the Soviet Union and Third World nationalism, which America regarded as a Soviet tool; on the other side, Western nations and militant political Islam, which America considered an ally in the struggle against the Soviet Union.
During the 1970’s the CIA used the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt as a barrier, both to thwart Soviet expansion and prevent the spread of Marxist ideology among the Arab masses. The United States also openly supported Sarekat Islam against Sukarno in Indonesia, and supported the Jamaat-e-Islami terror group against Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in Pakistan. Last but certainly not least, there is Al Qaeda.
Lest we forget, the CIA gave birth to Osama Bin Laden and breastfed his organization during the 1980’s. Al Qaeda was unquestionably a product of Western intelligence agencies.
In order to understand why the Islamic State has grown and flourished so quickly, one has to take a look at the organization’s American-backed roots. The 2003 American invasion and occupation of Iraq created the pre-conditions for radical Sunni groups, like ISIS, to take root. America, rather unwisely, destroyed Saddam Hussein’s secular state machinery and replaced it with a predominantly Shiite administration. The U.S. occupation caused vast unemployment in Sunni areas, by rejecting socialism and closing down factories in the naive hope that the magical hand of the free market would create jobs. Under the new U.S.-backed Shiite regime, working class Sunni’s lost hundreds of thousands of jobs. Unlike the white Afrikaners in South Africa, who were allowed to keep their wealth after regime change, upper class Sunni’s were systematically dispossessed of their assets and lost their political influence. Rather than promoting religious integration and unity, American policy in Iraq exacerbated sectarian divisions and created a fertile breading ground for Sunni discontent, from which Al Qaeda in Iraq took root.
There are essentially three wars being waged in Syria: one between the government and the rebels, another between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and yet another between America and Russia. It is this third, neo-Cold War battle that made U.S. foreign policy makers decide to take the risk of arming Islamist rebels in Syria, because Syrian President, Bashar al-Assad, is a key Russian ally. Rather embarrassingly, many of these Syrian rebels have now turned out to be ISIS thugs, who are openly brandishing American-made M16 Assault rifles.
America’s Middle East policy revolves around oil and Israel. The invasion of Iraq has partially satisfied Washington’s thirst for oil, but ongoing air strikes in Syria and economic sanctions on Iran have everything to do with Israel. The goal is to deprive Israel’s neighboring enemies, Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Palestine’s Hamas, of crucial Syrian and Iranian support.
ISIS is not merely an instrument of terror used by America to topple the Syrian government; it is also used to put pressure on Iran.
America is using ISIS in three ways: to attack its enemies in the Middle East, to serve as a pretext for U.S. military intervention abroad, and at home to foment a manufactured domestic threat, used to justify the unprecedented expansion of invasive domestic surveillance.
take a close look at what happen to your country Nigeria under Jonathan administration, why do USA refuse to sell arm to Nigeria? what contributions do they put to help Nigeria wipeout boko haram? .... I wait for your responds

Shut up you slimy piece of bastarrd, America being allies with Saudi Arabia doesn't mean America is anything close to being Allies of Arab countries and it doesn't stop Saudi Arabia from being decimated if they try any terrorist attempt on America or American, same with Israel, Israel have few Arab friends but that doesn't mean Israel is Arab allies cos just as water and oil can never mix, peace and terrorism never make allies, just lip service friendship.


All you afonjas hate America yet you will go there shamelessly, and one wonders why you half Muslims half sango worshippers fail to go to Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan or Iran to live, yet you'd troop to America that you hate so much and wish death..

Satanic Hypocrites!!

Amazingman:
Wisdom

Wisdom Ko, Wisdom Ni. Nobody killed Iranian Armies and Nuclear Scientists than Israeli and their MOSSAD. They do theirs silently. Like accident, suicide, assassinations in Iran itself.

AMERICA DOESNT ACT IN THE MIDDLE EAST WITHOUT ISRAEL'S MOSSAD AND IRAN KNOWS THAT THE ASSASSINATION OF SOLEIMANAI HAS ISRAEL'S SEAL OF APPROVAL. NETANYAHU IS ONLY PLAYING SMART SO THAT IN THE EVENT OF IRAN ATTACKING ISRAEL, IRAN WILL BE SEEN AS THE TROUBLE MAKER, WHILE ISRAEL WILL BE FREE TO ACT AGAINST THEM WITH CRUSHING POWER AS THESAME NETANYAHI VOWED AN HOUR AGO

Alright.

Truckpusher:
That was my initial concern when I made that first post which you misunderstood .

The Ayatollah's are crooks , why endanger an entire nation simply for some ego trip that won't last.

They will never understand until they come for them too. Oh wait! We already have Boko Haram. What next?

At the end of the day, people forget that US and EU policies have hurt African nations than any Arab and Russian policies.

They own the media. They are controlling the story. The fools are falling it

Iraq, Iran were they old Babylon whose ruins could still be found on the outskirts of the town.

Iraq is old baby long babbylon not Iran. They are different lands.

A "King of Terror", wearing a blue turban, described as "the terror of mankind", would rise to power from Greater Arabia during the late 1990s, wage war around the world and spread the influence of Islamic fundamentalism, along with the decreasing influence of Christianity. Nostradamus claims that the "King of Terror" would form an alliance with Russia. According to Nostradamus, the "King of Terror" and Russia would wage World War III against the West (United States, United Kingdom and France), starting with a nuclear strike on New York City ("the sky will burn at 45 degrees, fire approaches the great new city"). Nostradamus claims that World War III would last about 27 years, and the war would destroy cities and kill millions. The "King of Terror" would eventually be defeated himself, after the two farthest northern neighbors US (Eagle) and Russia (Bear) form an alliance and destroy "King of Terror".
After World War III, there will be a "peace of a thousand years".
The end would come in the year 3797 A.D.

ATTemi:
They should not comment on it or join USA, but, will secretly pray Iran attacks Israel so Israel can have every genuine reason 2 attack Iran without mercy.

Netanyahu na guy man!

Be over hyping isreal okay.


Iran will jst finish dem.

Sanni45:

So USA will conquer Iran in a day or two abi?
Go see movies which shows the true events of war and see casualties both sides encounter. You will start having pity for the US marines self.
War is not moimoi o

I don't know why u guys keep mentioning movies. Leave make believe alone. When two side go to war they both have losses but one more than the other.

This is one war Iran will never win simple.

BluntBoy:


It solves nothing.

The United States has always gone to war over pretence of keeping the world together. They went to war with Iraq over false allegations of Iraq possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction. It turned out that Bush never followed Intelligence reports because it turned out that Intelligence reports never stated that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Same thing is repeating itself now. Trump is justifying his killing of an Iranian Army General by claiming that it should have happened a long time ago when the slain general was a terrorist by every standard laid down. Was he killed because he was a terrorist in the 80s-90s or because he was still a terrorist? Later, to further justify the killing, they said the Army General was planning an attack on the United States citizens. It turns out that even this intelligence gathering had more to do with the army general's past as a terrorist than his present life as an army general.

At the end of the day, it would turn out that Trump (just like Bush) had nothing concrete for trying to invade a Middle Eastern country. Then the Intelligence unit would deny ever telling Trump that the Iranian Army General was planning to attack the United States.

Keep deceiving yourself on nairaland. It's a free world.

Stevecovey:

Yes it was part of the Persian empire. And a portion of their population still pride themselves and refer to themselves as being persian.
FYI, Afghanistan is next door to Iran.

Stop joining 2 continents ooo. That is crime lol

Iran is three times bigger than Iraq and has all the terrain qualities as Afghanistan... Check your geography

Lol, check yours then check my comment again

U.S is the real terrorist country

Eze2000:


Russia invaded that land first and was forced to pull out in the end. The US is still there.

The thing about Afghanistan that has made it unconquerable for centuries is the layout of its landscape. It's too rugged and difficult to cover and yet so vast.

Iran is not so

Go and read up on the geography of Iran.

AbdulHakeem44:


Trump is the first American president who has never served in any governmental or militarial position before assuming the presidency. Even when he's wrong with his decisions, people still stick to him because they believe this war is between Islam and Christianity, whereas the war is very political and economical.

Add the fact that he dodged getting drafted into the Vietnam war. Cowardly bastard!!

[s][/s]

This is bullcrap up there. Iran pose no serious threat , but will only retaliate proportionately and not otherwise. If they attack Israel or other US allies, then world war commences with immediate effect. They know too well not to attack disproportionately .

ALSO, I saw the news on CNN last night, where the former CIA director, Pompeo , who with his affiliation with the organisation still gets ascertained Intel on serious matters like this. He strongly believes , with the Intel reaching them , there was no doubt that Gen. Soleimani posed a huge threat to lives; He was up to no good with the tab that has been kept on him for months by CIA informats posing as Iranian military in collaboration with US military intelligence.

For you to say Trump has no military background proves your deficiency of knowledge pertaining how the POTUS is to operate. Trump doesn't need to have a military background and wouldn't give any military order without any military advice and strong Intel which prompted the assassination order; He is Chief for Christ sake. There was Intel, Soleimani was welcomed by rebels in iraq ; They had a meeting but the purpose of that meeting was not disclosed.

No doubt, that he , Trump messed with the emotions of the Iraqi people and Iran, because to them , Soleimani is A hero and he was loved. If Trump were to apologise, that would be the only reason he should.
Soleimani was a loose Cannon about to fire, he had to be stopped with no warning.

I thought CNN was fake news?

Thanks. Try their history when you've done reading yours. Very interesting.

itsme01:


Isreal in the bible is long time gone like the fictional tales, current Isreal ranks lower than Iran in military might, and has fewer population or soldiers than Iran(isreal 8 million, Iran 80 million), in fact they mostly survive on US finacial aides and military support(they dont have Oil).... and to make matters worst there are more Muslims in the current day isreal than christians, and current day Isrealis hate christians with passion

lonely Isreal has being trying to join African Union so as not to be alone just like Morroco also, Gulf GCC dont want them, Americans that like them are unstable, today Obama is indifferent tomorrow trumps hails them
