Iran are the ones who made mouth and stood down

They intentionally shot blanks at places America can easily detect their missiles and evacuate

I honestly believe Iran will still hit again when the US least expected.

They only did it to reduce the tension for now.

Iran cannot match America in all out war and America can't afford a third multi billion dollars war in the middle east.


Even wen somebody is crying he must still be seeing ...I will have been disappointed assuming Iran make the war escalate .....

Dey should try all possible means to have nuclear weapons B4 all dis nonsense

Do you think USA can murder a pakistan/india/north korea/china/russia/uk/France general and still dey defend d am dat na terrorist .....anoda country military general

Buh dey can kill buratai and call him terrorist because we don't have nuke ......having nuke is d beginning of international respect

an attack on an American military institution is an attack to the American nation which calls for military response, but what did the Americans do?

go and sit down , the base has shield , do u expect America to respond when there was not a single casualty , they should hit America mainland , Iran has been handicapped by sanctions even before now , they can't even sponsor this war

I am embarrassed that both America and UK are now led by jesters and comedians who spread hate and provocations globally. What a torn coat democracy we are made to bear with.

Trump sef don surrendered. They told him that Iran is not arab casino and are more radical than Arabs. American government, Saudi Arabia, NATO, Egypt, Bahrain and co supported Iraq and gave her all the weapons and logistics during the Iran/Iraqi war yet they couldn't defeat Iran. Even Saddam admitted that he fear Iran more than America. Iran will set the entire middle east on fire if targeted and that is what the likes of Saudi Arabia and UAE doesn't want.

This was a very stupid decision by Trump... He is like a child in power, that has nuclear weapons as toys. The world looks very dark the upcoming years.

How are you sure that the missile strikes did not incur any casualties? Iran said they killed "40 USA terrorists". Both of them might be lying to save face. This is international politics at full display.

Iraq contradicted their reports. No one was killed, not American, not Iraqi, not any other nationality.

In fact, Iran gave warning to Iraq, Lithuania, and some other Allied nations prior to the attack. US intelligence got wind of these. The US also had advanced warning capabilities activated.

Iran did this flashy attack with propaganda to appease their far right base.

The "international politics at full display" is Trump killing Soleimani then bracing for retaliation both home and abroad; rather than following up with an overwhelming offensive. He sent a clear message to Tehran. And gave the Ayatollah the opportunity to save face. As long as no American was killed.

APCNig:



You have forgotten that Arabs do not forgive nor forget. In some years time, you will see terrorist attack killing several Americans in a crowdy environment and some heartless Arabs will come and tell you it is revenged for the Iranian Army General that was killed some years back.

At this point, they were going to kill Americans anyway. They've been killing Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq for years.

There is no doubt that there'd still be minor operations by Iranian proxies, but it doesn't matter anymore. The kingpin is Soleimani, a man Bush and Obama were scared to take out, he is DEAD! And no American live was directly lost on that account.

That's a strategic win. A gamble that played out favorably for Trump. One rogue missile killing a few Americans, and Trump would have been forced to strike Iran directly.

Ignore the bluster. That's just the media and Democrats. No one wants war. Not Trump. Not the Ayatollah. They had the same hysteria during the Trump-Kim kerfuffle.

Trump is only play down the situation. No causalities so the airbase is just an empty space Abi. We bi mugu Abi? He knows he cannot win the war. His initial gragra treat is just Shakira. The Iranian had shown him that the mean business. If the person wen you fit beat dey tell you say you go beat tire, your common sense go tell you say the person wan send you go jail. Now Trump is seeking diplomatic means. On this case, Trump had just scored an own goal. U.S.A 0 VS 1 IRAN

The onus is on the bigger power to show restraint no matter what. These smaller powers can disturb without fear because they have actually nothing to loose, they are coming from the position of relative weakness.

For example, you remember how Turkey had the mind to shoot down a Russian fighter jet just like that. Russia could have escalated it but they choose no to not because they are weak but Big powers have to show restraint. The big superpowers respect themselves more because they know what is involved.
For example, the US would never have done what Turkey did by shooting down a Russian aircraft when they know it strayed into their territory by mistake and not coming for an attack. Russia will also not do that. What they do have done will be to scramble jets and escort it out of their airspace.

So i am not surprised with Iran. That is what a weaker nation will do and US choosing not to escalate it is in line with what a superior power will do.

American Military base has been hit.
