Tehran Residents Live in Fear Amid Airstrikes

Residents of Tehran are living in a state of constant tension as airstrikes and drone attacks hit the city, leaving many fearful for their lives. Footage and testimonies obtained by the BBC reveal a population on edge, always anticipating the next explosion. Baran, a businesswoman in her thirties who requested her name be changed, describes her life as a daily gamble. “With the start of drone attacks, no one dares to go outside. Stepping out of my door feels like risking my life,” she says. She remains in constant contact with friends, tracking each other’s safety, even when silence alone feels threatening. The city’s recent unrest has compounded these fears. Following nationwide protests demanding change in January, thousands of Iranians were killed in a brutal crackdown. Many, like Baran, feel their hopes for reform have been shattered. Security measures are […]

Iran has rejected proposals from foreign intermediaries to ease tensions or agree a ceasefire with the United States and Israel, insisting it is not yet the right time for peace . A senior Iranian official said two countries had passed on ideas to reduce tensions or reach a ceasefire, but Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran’s new supreme leader, turned them down .

Iran envoy urges global action on Palestinian crisis

Iran’s ambassador has called for urgent, coordinated international action to address what Tehran describes as a deepening humanitarian and political crisis facing the Palestinian people.​ Speaking against the backdrop of the ongoing Israel–Palestine war and wider strikes in the region, the envoy urged Muslim and non Muslim nations, especially members of the Non Aligned Movement, to speak out more forcefully against Israeli military operations and the blockade on Gaza. He argued that silence or “neutrality” in the face of rising civilian casualties amounts to complicity. The ambassador called on the United Nations Security Council and General Assembly to move beyond statements and adopt “urgent, collective measures” to halt attacks on civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, ensure accountability for alleged war crimes and guarantee the delivery of humanitarian aid. He also pressed for sustained funding for UNRWA and other […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Zelensky warns of air defence supply risks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that escalating conflict in the Middle East could jeopardize Ukraine’s access to critical air defence systems. He said the growing military demands in the region may divert both weapons supplies and political attention away from Kyiv’s fight against Russia. In an interview with Corriere della Sera, Zelensky explained that the United States and its Middle Eastern partners may prioritize their own defence needs, particularly advanced systems such as Patriot missiles. He acknowledged the risk that Washington and the European Union could shift focus from Ukraine if the crisis involving Iran expands into a prolonged war. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, Ukraine has remained central to Western diplomatic and military support. However, officials in Kyiv now sense a shift in global attention. Heavy use of interceptor missiles by Gulf countries could create shortages in […]
