The developments in the Middle East war is a bit baffling. Threats from the US president made most of us think Tehran would fall faster than Bagdad did. Just how Iran has managed to handle two world super powers at a go and still pose a big threat is a subject of serious discussion. It is my hope however that this conflict ends soon.

This is because Iran in the last few months might have bought lots of weapons from China and Russia.

@SIDIKIMPOLE they are not capable of manufacturing by their own, I believe.

I think those countries that aren't directly involved are watching closely.
