Tillerson: Today I’d like to address Iran’s alarming and ongoing provocations that export terror

[Aryzin]

@mohammad45, lmao you really are clueless.

 

[Muhammed45]

Whatever the situation is, fix your issues with the US.

Thanks for advice, but warmonger's respond will be warmongering. We will not withdraw, they must apologize for their bad behavior

owever, they have the most capable military force in existence so far. It is foolish to assume otherwise.

In Persian gulf, we are Fasl ul Khitab. They are strong within their own territory not in Persian gulf

War on Iran is a US dream. Iran will destroy world economy in three days just by blocking hormuz strait. Russia want that to happen. Russia will earn $3billion a month by just that move. Will any one care considering what I am trying to say

Closure of strait of hormuz would send gitters around the world but won't cause global recession.

States - that are most likely to be affected - are silently adopting contingency measures for this kind of event.

US won't be affected much either because it has managed to reduce its reliance over oil imports from ME in recent years. Mexico and Canada are largest suppliers of oil to the US at present.

They're strong everywhere, China is a bigger threat than Iran, yet the Chinese can't seem to stop US from patrolling SCS, despite repeated Chinese warnings.

You're wrong when you say that Iran will be able to beat the US in war, it is simply untrue. Iran may be able to bloody the US's nose, but they'll break Iran's legs and arms in the process.

@925boy , you have a good point but you look at war in different terms. We don't need to have huge invasion. Iran is not WWII Germany, Iranian military will not last long. No offense but you think Iran will play chess game but US will go it a different way.

You dont need huge invasion, but you need at least huge air attack AND troops in order to make any lasting "change in Iran" aka regime change.
Iranian military will not last long? this is confirmation of what i said is US military's main issue- underestimating adversaries. How long have taliban lasted? Ok, US will inflict heavy damage on Iran. Is US ready to take casualties?and not win the war? All Iran has to do to "win" is survive.

Yes you are correct but it will hit India most because India is ME importer and recession will start as it will also raise global oil price and that will result in inflation and will start a world war saving type of recession. Inflation will give boost to food industry and will place services and banking sector in to plunges.

To make it simple USA is not going to attack under any condition and neither can USA impose sanctions on Iran so there is nothing any one can do. USA is getting hurt daily because of Iran dominance in ME but there is no solution to the event other than committing ground troops heavily and Nato is not willing to do that.

China is a different case sir. Their economy is dependent on each other. If USA is collapsed, China will have economical collapse too. It is complicated, we are not dependent on piggies.

You're wrong when you say that Iran will be able to beat the US in war, it is simply untrue. Iran may be able to bloody the US's nose, but they'll break Iran's legs and arms in the process.

We will get harms too, undeniable truth but there must be a reason that they never could try it. As i said they can wage a war on us but they cannot finish the war on their own. Look at Yemen, they are our minimized brothers, American piggies + coalition couldn't defeat them yet. We know how to fight

 

[BHarwana]

In the current situation If one clearly see the two sides it is 2 nations against 50 plus nations in ME and no is able to defeat the 2 nations

I love when none-Arabs throw out random Arabic words that has nothing to do with what they're saying in order to appear more cultured and knowledgeable.

If it was not up to you losers , Arabic could be the first language of the world. It is the best language.

Two countries VS Two alliances
Iran and Russia VS NATO and GCC.
Current situation Iran and Russia winning.

That's misleading.

The Original taliban regime was defeated, and had all but surrendered. The only returned after 2003, after the US lost interest in Afghanistan, and withdraw a massive amount of troops to invade Iraq.

Winning a war, and maintaining an occupation are two different things.

The US spends a lot on soldier survive-ability, but history has shown that they're willing to tolerate casualties, as long as they're winning the war. A regime change wouldn't necessarily be on the cards, if the US were to invade Iran, as long as the US can enforce reforms, like it has done in many other countries since world war 2.

Also, you say "All Iran has to do to "win" is survive" as if that's an easy thing to do; it isn't, when you're facing an onslaught from the greatest war machine the world has ever seen.

Iranians are one of the most civilised folks on the face of earth. Never met a radical Iranian ever.The US should consider engineering a coup to remove the Ayatollah from power.
Let the people decide what government they want.

If the US were to move militarily against Iran, there would be little Russia can do, other than give political and material support. The Russians wouldn't be able to send troops into Iran, just like how the US can't put any large amount of troops in Syria, due to a fear of direct conflict between the two forces.

 

[Attila the Hun]

I too fear for innocent Iranians, but the problem with this iran and its mullah government are these:

They are going to be another Syria. The US don't mess about. We saw what they did to Iraq.
