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 […]

I lost my father and wife, Iran’s new Supreme Leader vows revenge

Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, has vowed revenge for the deaths of his relatives and other Iranians killed in recent strikes, saying Tehran will not back down from retaliatory actions. In his first public message since assuming office, Mojtaba said he lost his father, his wife, a sister and her child, as well as his other sister’s husband, in the air strikes that hit Iran late last month. He described the attacks as brutal crimes carried out by the United States and Israel and said they had deepened his resolve to pursue justice. The new leader also referred to a deadly strike on a girls’ school in southern Iran, which Iranian sources say killed around 160 to 170 schoolgirls on the first day of the war. He said Iran is “especially sensitive to the blood of our children” […]

Qatar rejects Iran’s missile strike explanation

Qatar has firmly rejected Iran’s explanation for recent missile strikes on its territory, insisting that the attacks hit civilian areas and key infrastructure, not just American interests as Tehran claims. The Qatari position was delivered during a phone call between Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. According to Qatar, Iran maintained that the missiles were aimed at United States assets in the region and were not intended to target the State of Qatar. Sheikh Mohammed rejected this account, stressing that evidence on the ground shows the strikes affected civilian and residential areas, including locations near Hamad International Airport and other sensitive sites. He described the attacks as a blatant infringement of Qatar’s sovereignty and a serious threat to the safety of its people and strategic […]

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 […]

Nigerians in Middle East send distress calls as FG halts pilgrimage

Escalating violence in the Middle East has disrupted Nigerian pilgrimage plans and triggered distress calls from citizens living and working in the region. The Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission has announced the immediate suspension of all pilgrimages to Israel, citing the worsening security situation and the state of emergency declared by Israeli authorities. Executive Secretary Bishop Stephen Adegbite said the decision covers both government organised and privately arranged trips until conditions improve. He explained that the safety and welfare of pilgrims remain the top priority and urged intending pilgrims and operators to exercise patience while the Commission closely monitors developments. The suspension came shortly after the conclusion of the 2025 Main Pilgrimage to Israel and Jordan, during which over 4,000 pilgrims were successfully airlifted, with the last batch arriving Lagos on March 3. Adegbite appealed to Nigerians to pray for peace […]

Iran urges UN Security Council to act to stop war with US and Israel

Iran has called on the United Nations Security Council to take urgent action to halt what it describes as a “war” waged against it by the United States and Israel. Tehran’s appeal came after days of heavy US Israeli airstrikes that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior officials, followed by Iranian missile and drone attacks across the region, including on a US embassy in Saudi Arabia. In a statement at UN headquarters, Iran’s permanent representative Amir Saeid Iravani said the council “must act firmly, clearly and without ambiguity” against the military strikes on Iranian territory.​ He accused Washington and Tel Aviv of launching “deliberate and unprovoked” acts of aggression in violation of the UN Charter and insisted that Iran’s response was a lawful exercise of self defence under Article 51. Iravani stressed that Iran does not seek […]

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, […]

UNICEF alerte sur les enfants touchés par les tensions en Iran

L’UNICEF a exprimé une vive inquiétude face à l’escalade des tensions au Moyen-Orient, estimant qu’elle représente « une étape extrêmement préoccupante pour des millions d’enfants dans la région ». L’agence onusienne indique que des frappes en Iran et dans d’autres zones affectent gravement les populations civiles.

Acting Inspector General of Police Olatunji Disu has placed all police commands across Nigeria on red alert in response to escalating tensions in the Middle East.
