Iran war: Falana urges Nigeria to work with other countries to pressure Trump

Human rights lawyer Femi Falana has called on Nigeria to collaborate with other countries to mount diplomatic pressure on United States President Donald Trump over the ongoing war involving Iran, Israel and the US. Falana said Nigeria should revive its tradition of multilateral diplomacy, like in the days of the Non Aligned Movement, by working with other nations to ensure respect for international law and to push for restraint on all sides. He criticised Trump for what he described as contempt for international law and United Nations resolutions, noting that the US under his watch has withdrawn from dozens of UN decisions. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria argued that Nigeria and other countries must persuade global powers such as China and Russia to intervene diplomatically in the crisis, since they wield significant influence over […]

Trump says Iran’s new Supreme Leader is alive but “damaged”

United States President Donald Trump says he believes Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, is still alive but “damaged” after the US and Israel’s opening strikes on Iran. Mojtaba, whose father and former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed on the first day of the war, has not been seen in public since he was selected by Iran’s Assembly of Experts on March 8. His first comments to the nation were delivered as a written message read out by a television presenter, fuelling speculation about his condition. An Iranian official told Reuters that the new leader was “lightly injured” and continues to function, with state TV referring to him as “war wounded.” Asked about rumours that Mojtaba might be dead or incapacitated, Trump told Fox News’ “Brian Kilmeade Show”: “I think he probably is (alive). I think he is […]

Trump says Iran should skip World Cup for own safety

United States President Donald Trump has said that while Iran’s national team is welcome at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, he believes they should not take part for their own life and safety. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote that the Iran national soccer team is welcome at the tournament in North America but added that it is not appropriate for them to be there, citing security risks linked to the ongoing war between the US, Israel and Iran. He framed his advice as a warning about potential dangers rather than a formal move to block their participation. His comments came shortly after FIFA president Gianni Infantino said Trump had personally assured him that Iran would be allowed to compete at the World Cup despite the conflict. Infantino said football should help unite people and thanked […]

Iran fires missiles at Israel as US Republicans block bid to halt air war

Iran has launched a new wave of missiles at Israel, sending air raid sirens blaring and forcing millions of people into bomb shelters as the war entered its sixth day. The overnight barrage targeted sites across Israel and also triggered defensive action from nearby countries, including Turkey, where a missile was intercepted before entering its airspace. At the same time, Republican senators in Washington blocked a resolution that sought to halt the United States air campaign against Iran and require fresh congressional approval for any further military action. The war powers measure failed by 53 votes to 47, largely along party lines, leaving President Donald Trump with broad freedom to continue directing US strikes in support of Israel. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz that Washington would stand firmly behind Israel’s operations, saying the United […]

US House likely to reject move to limit Trump’s Iran war powers

The United States House of Representatives is expected to vote down a bid to limit President Donald Trump’s authority to continue military operations against Iran. The measure mirrors a resolution that failed in the Senate, where most Republicans blocked an attempt to require Trump to obtain explicit congressional approval before extending the campaign in Iran. Republicans, who hold a slim majority in both chambers, argue that the president has sufficient constitutional and statutory authority to act and describe the strikes on Iran as defensive and necessary. Democrats, backed by a few Republicans, insist that Congress must reassert its war powers, warning that the widening conflict with Iran risks dragging the US into a prolonged and open ended war in the Middle East. Analysts say even if the House and Senate were to pass a war powers resolution, Trump would almost […]

Iran drones hit US embassy in Saudi Arabia, cause fire but no casualties

Iranian drones have struck the United States embassy compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in one of Tehran’s most direct attacks on American diplomatic assets since the current Gulf conflict escalated. Saudi Arabia’s Defence Ministry said two drones hit the embassy in the early hours of Tuesday, sparking a limited fire and causing minor structural damage but no casualties, as the mission was closed at the time. Witnesses reported a loud explosion and black smoke rising over Riyadh’s Diplomatic Quarter, which houses several foreign embassies and international organisations. Saudi air defences were reported to have intercepted additional drones aimed at the diplomatic district, amid warnings that Iran is expanding its retaliation beyond military bases to industrial and diplomatic targets across the region. US President Donald Trump said Washington would respond to the attack and to the recent deaths of four American […]

Moyen-Orient : escalade militaire après la mort de Khamenei

Tensions militaires intenses secouent le Moyen-Orient depuis le week-end, après l’assassinat de l’ayatollah Ali Khamenei par des frappes conjointes des États-Unis et d’Israël. Les opérations ont visé des infrastructures militaires et des dirigeants iraniens, déclenchant une série de ripostes à grande échelle. L’Iran a répondu en lançant missiles et drones sur Israël, Bahreïn, Koweït, Qatar, Émirats arabes unis, Jordanie, Arabie saoudite, Chypre et des navires transitant par le détroit d’Hormuz. Le groupe Hezbollah, allié de Téhéran, a également tiré des roquettes depuis le Liban, provoquant des frappes israéliennes en représailles. Selon l’armée israélienne et des sources américaines, plusieurs hauts responsables iraniens ont été tués, dont le secrétaire du Conseil de défense Ali Shamkhani, le ministre de la Défense Brig. Gen. Aziz Nasirzadeh et le commandant du Corps des Gardiens de la révolution, Gen. Mohammad Pakpour. Un nouveau commandant en chef, […]

UK PM rejects regime change in Iran strikes

For nearly 48 hours, the UK government struggled to clearly explain its stance on the US and Israel’s recent strikes on Iran. While the defence and foreign secretaries offered cautious statements, it was the Prime Minister who gave a direct answer in the Commons, saying the government “does not believe in regime change from the skies.” He also made clear his disagreement with President Donald Trump, marking a significant and high-profile divergence. Sir Keir Starmer spent over two hours responding to MPs’ questions, expressing that he viewed the US and Israeli actions as wrong and potentially unlawful. Yet he maintained that authorising the US to use UK airbases to target Iranian missile sites was both justified and lawful to protect British allies in the Gulf. References to the Iraq war were frequent, with the Prime Minister noting its lessons when […]

Iran in Crisis After Khamenei’s Death

The reported killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in the opening phase of joint US-Israeli air strikes has plunged the Islamic Republic into its most fragile position since the 1979 revolution. The operation—described by Washington as a decisive attempt to dismantle Iran’s command structure—targeted senior military and political figures. By Saturday night, widespread reports of Khamenei’s death triggered rare scenes of public reaction, including small celebrations in parts of Iran and among diaspora communities abroad. For many critics of the regime, the development signaled a historic rupture. US President Donald Trump urged Iranians to “take over your government,” while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested regime change was both achievable and desirable. The military campaign, dubbed Operation Epic Fury by US officials, appeared tightly coordinated. However, the political consequences inside Iran remain uncertain and potentially volatile. On Sunday, Iranian […]

Israel strikes Hezbollah in Lebanon after attacks, widening Iran war

Israel has launched air strikes across Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah positions after the Iran backed group fired missiles and drones at Israeli territory in response to the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Israeli military said it struck Hezbollah sites nationwide, including in the Shiite group’s stronghold in the southern suburbs of Beirut, as part of a broader campaign that also includes ongoing strikes on Iranian targets. Explosions rocked Beirut in the early hours, sending residents fleeing by car and on foot, while smoke was seen rising from areas hit in and around the capital. Israel said at least one projectile launched from Lebanon was intercepted, while others fell in open areas without causing major damage, and warned that it holds Hezbollah fully responsible for any escalation along the border. The strikes on Lebanon come as U S […]
