US and Iran Move Closer to Major Agreement

The United States and Iran appear to be moving closer to a major agreement aimed at easing months of military tensions between the two countries. President Donald Trump announced that a formal deal could be signed on Sunday, although Iranian officials have expressed caution regarding the timeline. In a message shared on social media, Trump stated that the agreement was expected to be finalized soon. He also said that the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important shipping routes for oil and natural gas, would be reopened to all maritime traffic immediately after the deal takes effect. Pakistan, which has played a mediation role in the negotiations, also expressed optimism about the progress made. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said a final agreement could be concluded within 24 hours and noted that preparations were underway for an electronic signing […]

Amotekun funding and welfare challenges threaten South West Nigeria regional security outfit

Amotekun, the regional security outfit for South West Nigeria, is facing serious challenges that threaten its ability to maintain security in the region. Five years after its establishment, the organization is struggling with funding constraints, inadequate equipment, poor welfare conditions, and weak coordination among the six South Western states. Security experts have identified legal limitations as one of Amotekun's biggest operational challenges. Unlike the police and military, Amotekun operatives are barred from carrying certain weapons and face restrictions on access to critical resources. The outfit was founded on January 9, 2020, in Ibadan, Oyo State, as the first regional security initiative initiated by a geopolitical zone in Nigeria. The Western Nigeria Security Network, codenamed Operation Amotekun, which means Leopard or Cheetah in Yoruba, covers all six states of South Western Nigeria but the Federal Government declared it an illegal operation […]

Israel-Iran Strikes Test Fragile Middle East Diplomacy

The latest exchange of strikes between Israel and Iran has raised fresh concerns about instability in the Middle East, highlighting the fragile state of regional ceasefires and the challenges facing ongoing diplomatic efforts. The confrontation began after Iran launched missiles at Israel, describing the attack as retaliation for Israeli operations in Beirut. Israel responded by carrying out air strikes inside Iran, marking the first direct attack on Iranian territory since a ceasefire between the two countries was reached in April. The escalation unfolded despite public calls from US President Donald Trump urging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avoid further military action. The episode has renewed questions about Washington's ability to influence Israeli decision-making during a period of heightened regional tensions. Following the missile exchange, Trump said he had contacted Netanyahu and encouraged restraint. However, Israeli military operations proceeded shortly […]

US Eyes Redirecting Iranian Assets to Gulf Allies for Reconstruction

The U.S. government will attempt to redirect Iranian assets to Gulf states for rebuilding and repairs of damage caused by Iran, including future destruction expected to be inflicted by Tehran, a source familiar with the matter said on Saturday. The move comes a day after a wave of attacks by Iran against Kuwait and Bahrain. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has also directed a team to assess costs for damage already inflicted on Gulf allies by Iran. The United States will consider using Iranian assets for those repairs as well, according to the source. The source did not specify what kind of assets the Treasury was examining. The language used to describe the new measures did not appear limited to frozen assets, suggesting that the U.S. could examine a broader range of Iranian financial holdings. The Trump administration is seeking […]

Hegseth Reaffirms US Commitment to Asia

The United States remains fully committed to the Asia-Pacific region despite its involvement in the conflict with Iran, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said during the Shangri-La Dialogue security forum in Singapore. Speaking before regional defense leaders, Hegseth sought to reassure US allies that Washington’s military focus on global crises would not come at the expense of its commitments in Asia. He emphasized that the United States is capable of addressing multiple security challenges simultaneously, including maintaining stability in the Pacific while pursuing its objectives in the Middle East. “We can do two things at the same time,” Hegseth said, rejecting concerns that the Iran conflict could weaken US engagement with Asian partners. His remarks came after Japan’s Defense Minister, Shinjiro Koizumi, raised questions about America’s long-term commitment to the region, warning that some countries might attempt to exploit doubts […]

Iran Supreme Leader Says Region Won’t Serve as Shield for US Bases

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has declared that Gulf powers will no longer serve as a “shield” for American military bases and the United States will no longer have a “safe haven” in the Middle East region. Speaking on his Telegram channel on Tuesday, Khamenei stated that regional countries must close US military bases as soon as possible, warning that they will be forced to attack them again if they don’t. He emphasized that the claim of establishing security and peace by America was “nothing more than a lie.” The Supreme Leader called US military bases a “paper tiger,” questioning their ability to provide security in the region. He urged Iran’s Gulf neighbours to distance themselves from US military presence, which Iran argues creates “vulnerability and fragility” in these countries. Khamenei declared that the future of the region will […]

Iran warns of ‘much more devastating’ retaliation if civilians are hit

Iran’s central military command has warned it will launch “much more devastating” retaliation if its adversaries carry out further strikes on civilian targets or infrastructure. The warning comes amid spiralling tensions with the United States and Israel over attacks on Iranian territory and regional interests. In a statement carried by state media, commanders said that any repeat attacks on civilian sites would trigger broader and more destructive waves of offensive and retaliatory operations. They accused Washington and Tel Aviv of already resorting to hitting non‑military facilities in an effort to compensate for battlefield “failures”. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said its recent “True Promise” operations had targeted enemy assets in countries hosting US and Israeli forces, including sites in the UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait. It warned that if civilian facilities continue to be attacked, the next phase of strikes would […]

Iran warns hotels housing US troops will be targets

Iran’s military has warned that hotels accommodating United States soldiers across the Middle East will be treated as legitimate targets in its ongoing war with the US and Israel. Armed forces spokesman Abolfazl Shekarchi told state television that once American troops move into a hotel, “from our perspective that hotel becomes American,” insisting Iran will strike wherever US forces are located. Shekarchi argued that Iran cannot “stand by and let the Americans strike us” without responding in kind, signalling a further escalation in a conflict that has already engulfed large parts of the region. The war exploded after Israel and the US launched strikes on Iran on February 28, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and triggering waves of Iranian drone and missile attacks on Israel and US interests. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused US soldiers of using civilians […]
