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he described as contempt for international law and United Nations resolutions, noting that the US under his watch has withdrawn from dozens of UN decisions.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 […]

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 […]

UN chief reacts to reported killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has expressed deep concern over reports that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in joint United States and Israeli airstrikes. Speaking at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, Guterres said he had received reports that the strikes on Tehran and other cities had resulted in the death of Khamenei and other senior Iranian figures, but stressed that the UN could not independently confirm the claim. He described the situation as extremely grave and warned that the world was facing a severe risk of wider regional conflict if all parties did not immediately step back from further military escalation. The UN chief condemned the scale of the U S and Israeli attacks on Iran and urged both sides, as well as Iran and its allies, to respect international law and prioritise the […]

Urgent Call for Justice in Togo

The people of Togo have endured over six decades under a regime passed from father to son, where liberty is stifled and dissent punished. For too long, their voices have been silenced, their elections manipulated, and their basic rights denied. Yet the world has often remained silent, even as similar crises elsewhere have drawn swift international intervention. The principle of equity demands that what is deemed just in one nation should apply equally in another. The world has acted in Kosovo, Libya, and against regimes in Russia, North Korea, and Iran. Why, then, should Togo’s suffering be overlooked? To ignore it is to undermine the very foundations of international law and the ideals enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Human dignity knows no borders, and those endowed with power bear a responsibility to protect it everywhere. Every day […]

UK foreign minister to meet Rubio over tensions at joint air base

Britain’s foreign minister Yvette Cooper will meet United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington on Friday amid rising tensions over their joint military base on Diego Garcia. The talks follow President Donald Trump’s renewed criticism of the UK’s decision to cede sovereignty over the surrounding Chagos Islands to Mauritius. Under a deal agreed last year by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Britain will transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands while keeping control of the Diego Garcia base through a 99 year lease that guarantees continued US military access. Washington initially backed the arrangement, but Trump has since repeatedly attacked it, calling the move a “big mistake” and warning London not to “give away Diego Garcia.” The dispute has sharpened as the US steps up military deployments around Iran and weighs possible strikes against its nuclear and military facilities. British […]

Israel’s new West Bank measures spark annexation fears

Palestinians, several Arab states and Israeli anti-occupation organisations have denounced new measures approved by Israel’s security cabinet for the occupied West Bank, warning they amount to a form of de facto annexation. The steps were announced by far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who said they would make it easier for Jewish settlers to acquire Palestinian land. “We will continue to eliminate the idea of a Palestinian state,” he declared. Under international law, Israeli settlements in the occupied territories are widely considered illegal. The measures, which still require formal approval from Israel’s top military commander in the West Bank, are designed to expand Israeli control over land management, planning, licensing and enforcement across the territory. They were unveiled just days before a scheduled meeting in Washington between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump. According to Israeli officials, […]

Israel starts demolishing UNRWA headquarters in Jerusalem

Israeli bulldozers have begun demolishing parts of the headquarters of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, in occupied east Jerusalem. The operation took place in the Sheikh Jarrah area, where an Israeli flag was seen flying over the compound.​ UNRWA spokesman Jonathan Fowler said Israeli forces entered the compound shortly after 7 a.m., removed security guards and then allowed bulldozers to move in and start tearing down buildings. He called it an unprecedented attack on the agency and a serious breach of international law and UN privileges and immunities.​ Fowler warned that what is happening to UNRWA today could happen to any other international organisation or diplomatic mission if such actions go unchallenged. Photos from the scene showed heavy machinery at work and extensive damage inside the compound.​ Israel’s far right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir briefly visited […]

Trump posts self as ‘acting president’ of Venezuela

US President Donald Trump has shared a doctored image on his Truth Social account describing himself as the “Acting President of Venezuela, incumbent January 2026.” The graphic, styled to look like a Wikipedia page, lists him as both the 45th and 47th US president and claims he now leads the South American country.​ The post comes days after a US military operation in Caracas that saw Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores captured and flown to New York to face drug and weapons related charges. Trump has said his administration will “run” Venezuela and oversee its oil assets during what he calls a transition period.​ Despite Trump’s online claim, no international body or foreign government has recognised him as Venezuela’s acting leader. The country’s actual acting president is Vice President Delcy Rodríguez, who has rejected US authority […]

Russia escorts tanker tracked by US in Atlantic

Russia has deployed naval assets to escort an oil tanker that is also being tracked by US forces as it transits the Atlantic, according to reports from CBS News. The vessel, previously known as Bella 1 and now operating under the name Marinera, is currently navigating waters between Iceland and the British Isles. The tanker has a history of transporting Venezuelan crude oil, although it is presently declaring that it is not carrying any cargo. US authorities have accused the ship of violating American sanctions by transporting Iranian oil. In recent weeks, the vessel reportedly changed its name and reflagged from Guyana to Russia, a move analysts say does not alter its legal or sanctions status. Last month, President Donald Trump announced a “blockade” targeting sanctioned oil tankers entering or leaving Venezuela, a policy denounced by Caracas as an act […]
