Iran 'Standing Down' After Missile Strikes - Trump by Guest911: 5:50pm On Jan 08, 2020
US President Donald Trump says Iran "appears to be standing down" after it targeted air bases housing US forces in Iraq.

Mr Trump said there were no US or Iraqi casualties in the attacks, and the bases suffered only minimal damage.

The attacks on the Irbil and Al Asad bases came early on Wednesday morning local time.

Iran said they were a retaliation for the assassination of top Iranian General Qasem Soleimani last week.

The killing in a US drone attack was a major escalation in already deteriorating relations between Iran and the US.

Mr Trump said the US would immediately impose additional financial and economic sanctions on Iran, which would remain until it "changed its behaviour".

The US president has previously threatened military action against Iran if it targeted US personnel and bases, but on this occasion he stopped short of this.

Trump was just talking, if he had tried it with Nigeria, we would have sent our AK47 soldiers to America now.
We are not just giant of Africa for show. We go other countries to keep peace

Their strike is just to appease their citizens back home to show they did something worth of revenge.
They were not going to take any American troops lives.

iran is still loosing though , cars and two people died in US strike


grin

as stupid as this may sound , The earthquake is not ordinary , neither is the plane crash , i am thinking EMP and HAARP / DAARPA weapons and for Trump to say or think Iran is backing down, maybe Trump is satisfied that Iran has seen '' FILM'' and they have GENTLED


anyways we don't pray for war , choose Love and peace , not war



God bless us all




Update


I read on different independent military sites, from conspiracy websites and the news keeps filtering out that Iran's strike actually killed a few and injured many US soldiers, don't know how true it is but it seems Iran got their pound of flesh back

“If you keep on retaliating what you receive, you'll be stuck in a infinite abyss of revenge and vendetta.”

Iran will still recieve heavier blows in the long run.

Of course they had to stand down.

Iran shot down 2 expensive US drones. No response.
Iran blew and seized oil tankers. No response.
Iran took out a significant part of Saudi's oil installations, equivalent to 5% of global oil output. No response.
Iran attacks US military base killing one American contractor and injuring 4 US soldiers. No response.
Iran prods their militia to attack US embassy in Baghdad in an attempt to sack it.

Trump finally said, "Enough". He took out their top-ranking general in one precision strike.

That's a President. That's a deterrent. Not that useless oaf called Obama.

If Iran had killed another American yesternight with their launches. By now, it'd have been raining fire and brimstone in Tehran!

Iran can sabre-rattle all it wants; but if it tries any of the nonsense it had done in the past few months again, there'll be hell to pay.

Trump just told Iran, "my craze pass your own." Do anyhow you see anyhow. Two seconds.

No casualties! Thank goodness..


Iran acted wisely.

President Trump should desist and abstain himself from the Senator from SC *****Lindsey Olin Graham*****
Instead he should embrace Rep Jimmy Daniel Jordan he's more refined than that cunning man.

Lindsey is part of the establishment that produced and still nature Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Adam Shifty, Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama, Mitch McConnell and so many of 'em

Re: Iran 'Standing Down' After Missile Strikes - Trump by LegendHero(m): 6:00pm On Jan 08, 2020
Lol. Trump already backed down coz his advisors already told him it won’t be in the USA interest to go to war with Iran.

Iran even informed the Iraq government before the strike, so they don’t want loss of live in the army base but rather passing a message to the USA that they are in the game.

He said he is sanctioning Iran economically rather than responding with a military solution.

He also said he will be looking forward to Iran cooperation with the USA for peace in the Middle East.

Sometimes power is not enough, there are many things that might go wrong if USA attacks Iran coz the Middle East will be far more chaotic and it will have a counter effect on the neighbors of Iran and Europe in general in terms of migration.

Either way, no more WW3. Hence Nairaland local war analysts can go to rest now!
