Iran demonstrated its might and courage by firing missiles at the U.S. military air base in Qatar.The missile strikes came after Donald Trump, flanked by his vice president and his secretaries of defense and state, boasted about attacking Iran’s nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan on the early hours of Sunday. His boasting did not last more than one day. His pride was blown up by Iran.Trump imagined that he is the Truman of his time and Iran will surrender to his illegal and unjustified attacks and threats.

A constant show of U.S. B-2 bombers on TV screens and other media outlets did not frighten Iranians. It is the war of wills that win, and not sophisticated weapons.Iran’s history is full of heroism, valor and pride, but Trump and his security team are ignorant of them.  More than 40 years ago, Saddam Hussein, an impulsive person like Trump, made a surprise attack on Iran from land, air and sea. Saddam did this stupidity while Iran was still reeling from the aftermath of the revolution in 1979.

He imagined that it was a proper time to attack Iran. He took Iran off-guard.His army captured some border cities and a large swathe of the Iranian territory and called the Khuzestan of Iran, an oil-rich province, part of the Iraqi territory. It did not last long that he started begging for a ceasefire despite the fact that it used chemical weapons against Iranian armed forces and ordinary people and bombarded cities indiscriminately.During that war in the 1980s, the U.S. provided satellite images of Iranian troops to the Iraqi side and France and the Soviet Union provided the most sophisticated weapons to the Saddam army.

In his first presidency Trump also boasted that its military had dropped a 10-ton bomb on Afghanistan. It was called the “mother of bombs” by the Pentagon, but after 20 years the Trump administration was forced to agree to the terms of Taliban and flee the country in disgrace. Trump is incapable to understand that the Iranians are ready to sacrifice their lives for their country.

Even those who are opponents of the ruling system and been jailed for their strong criticism of the ruling views are now sending the message of resistance against the Israeli-U.S.-imposed war on Iran.  The missile strikes came after Donald Trump, flanked by his vice president and his secretaries of defense and state, boasted about attacking Iran’s three nuclear sites on the early hours of Sunday.

His boasting did not last more than one day. His pride was blown up by Iran.Trump imagined that he is the Truman of his time and Iran will surrender to his illegal and unjustified attacks and threats. A constant show of U.S. B-2 bombers on TV screens and other media outlets did not frighten Iranians. It is the war of wills that win, and not sophisticated weapons.
