ICHEOKU says you can call it the last exit from possible conflict, but the leadership in Tehran must not allow an unmerited ego and a needless bluster to destroy itself and their country. They are not a match to the only remaining superpower in the entire planet earth and regardless of whatever assistance which Russia might provide them, their country will be the theater of the conflict and their people will be the ones bearing the blunt of whatever hostility that ensues. They have proved their point and must now climb down from their white horse, swallow their pride and accept the offer for talks; because if they don't, they will be sorry.
In a worst case scenario and at their best, if a conflict results, they might using the element of first strike, kill all the United States of American service men and women stationed in the Middle East. But they must know that America does not turn tail or back down nor feel squeamish in the face of terror or such massive blood letting, and will definitely avenge such a massacre, tenfold. For every America killed in such a surprised first strike attack, 10 to 100 Iranians will pay the price respectively. Therefore, they must make a conscious effort to ask themselves, what is the wisdom in making such a deal of the devil, since they will ultimately suffer such a disproportionately catastrophic consequences and far beyond what they bargained for with a first strike, that they would have wished they had been wiser and smarter enough to understand what President Donald John Trump meant by obliteration.
Iran cannot win any shooting war with America and they have no economic impetus to support a long drawn out battle with America and no nation else can, including Russia and China. Another consequential fact which must not be lost on those mullahs of Tehran is that any resulting hostility, can and will only end on America's terms, no matter how long it takes and whatever it costs; Japan and Germany are two examples to wit and of course Iraq as well. Serbia is still convulsing from America's aerial bombardments nearly two decades ago. Also, in any American retaliation for an provoked attack by Iran, will seek to decapitate the entire leadership structure of Iran, including the Ayatollah, the president, the foreign minister and of course the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
An Iranian leadership which is so out of touch with reality that it still celebrates the exploits of Darius and Persia's Xerxes the Great, possibly still stuck in their ancient history of horse-backs mounted Calvary and their adroitness and dexterity with bows and arrows, which once made Persia invincible. But ICHEOKU strongly doubts if those mullahs of Tehran will be foolish enough to think that such war fighting prowess will be effective in today's conflict or that such feat will be wrought today over an overwhelming force of the United States of America. Such their glorious days are since gone, left in the dustbin of ancient history and they must wake up to the reality of the now, adjust their calculation and also curb their obtuse enthusiasm.
President Donald John Trump, at a great risk to his political fortune and personal pride, called off an already planned bombing runs on Iranian targets to avenge the shot down $120 million drone. But instead of Iran taking the offered exit ramp from the president, who tried to explain away the drone shot down as a likely mistake and agreed to talk, their prideful arrogance got the better hold of them. They went on a mission of chest beating and thumbing of their nose at America, bragging about it and boasting that they will readily do it again. Now, they have walked themselves into a boxed in corner and have forced the president to draw a red line. ICHEOKU says may God help Iran if they dare miscalculate once again and make a wrong assumption that Americans will not stand behind any action which the president deems fit and necessary to checkmate such Iranian additional provocation.
That America has not yet avenged the 1979 embassy hostage taking as well as other provocative actions of Iran should simmer in Iranian leadership's minds as they continue to touch the tail of the tiger. This time around, if hostilities break out, all the rain checks of their many decades running provocations, might be forcible cashed and Iran will be the one left quaking. One other thing which is eluding Iranian leadership's intelligence is that insulting an American president by any foreign government and their officials is definitely a no, no; a gross miscalculation of the worse kind. Americans do not forgive nor forget such an insult on their collective identity, admitted they freely attacks and insults their president themselves. Iran must therefore show some self censure if they want to come out of the present face off still standing on their two feet vertically and still breathing.
Overall, what Iran is trying to achieve by producing nuclear weapons which they will never be allowed to use nor can ever use, is simply beyond the factored in opportunity cost analysis. Such a misdirected priority will not add anything of value to Iranian standing in the world, afterall Pakistan has the weapon but it has not increased its footing on the world's stage. A wise Iran must therefore listen carefully to President Donald John Trump's last warning that any further attack by Iran on ANYTHING AMERICAN will be met with great and overwhelming force. The president also did not mince words when he clearly spelt out how the Iranian conflict will end, once it begins. According to the president last and final warning, attacking anything American, including another drone, is the red line for him and he did not mince words nor used to making empty boasts.
According to the president, Iranian leadership does not understand the words nice and compassion; they never have. Sadly the thing they do understand is strength and power and the United States of America is by far the most powerful military on earth. Iran's very ignorant and insulting statements which they put out today shows that they do not understand reality. In some cases, overwhelming will mean complete obliteration. They must understand that John Kerry and Barack Obama are no more running things. ICHEOKU says definitely some words to ponder by Tehran, fully aware that President Donald John Trump has had it and will not grant Iran another pass, no matter how little the next provocation might be. So, like the president said, whenever Iran is ready and whatever Iran wants to do, that is now their prerogative; as America stands ready to meet them however they want it. Hopefully Iran will recover their senses quickly and abort their belligerence before it spells disaster for them.

Christy 'Apena' Essien-Igbokwe , the wife of Jegede Shokoya of the New Masquerade and Nigeria's lady of songs is dead; she was 51years old. Although her family claimed that "brief Illness" killed her like so many Nigerians; Icheoku retorts that it was most likely AKwa Ibom voodoo and remote control that was used to arrest her. It is on record that she had fallen out with the governor of her native Akwa Ibiom State and have been having a relentless war for political turf with the governor? So who knows whether she was sacrificed to Ekpe cult or even Alusi-Okija as an offal; afterall African science is still very much alive and portent. May her soul rest in peace.
