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 […]

ECOWAS urges restraint as Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone border tensions rise

The Economic Community of West African States has appealed for calm and restraint from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone following renewed tensions and reported armed incidents along their shared borders. Recent reports say Guinean soldiers allegedly crossed into Liberian territory in Foya District, Lofa County, firing sporadic gunshots and briefly hoisting their national flag on Liberian soil, weeks after a similar confrontation near the Sierra Leonean border in which several Sierra Leonean security personnel were detained. The incidents have sparked fears of escalation in the Mano River Union region.​ In its response, ECOWAS called on all three governments to exercise maximum restraint, avoid inflammatory statements and resolve outstanding boundary issues through dialogue and existing regional mechanisms. The bloc reiterated that only a comprehensive regional approach can restore lasting security along the Guinea–Liberia–Sierra Leone frontier. The organisation also expressed support for […]

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.

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 […]

US, Israel launch strikes on Iran, target leaders and military sites

The United States and Israel have launched coordinated military strikes on Iran, targeting senior leaders and key military sites in a major escalation of tensions in the Middle East. The attacks were carried out on Saturday across several Iranian cities, including Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, Karaj, and Kermanshah, hitting command locations and strategic facilities.

Ethiopia accuses Eritrea of military aggression and backing rebels

Ethiopia’s foreign minister has accused neighbouring Eritrea of military aggression and interference, alleging that Eritrean forces are occupying Ethiopian territory and backing armed groups operating inside the country. The accusations mark a sharp escalation in tensions between the two Horn of Africa neighbours, whose relationship has deteriorated since the end of Ethiopia’s war in the northern Tigray region. Ethiopia and Eritrea fought a devastating border war between 1998 and 2000 before signing a landmark peace agreement in 2018. They later became allies during Ethiopia’s two-year conflict with Tigray authorities. However, Eritrea was not a signatory to the 2022 peace deal that ended the Tigray war, and relations have steadily worsened since then. In a letter dated Saturday, February 7, Ethiopian Foreign Minister Gedion Timothewos told his Eritrean counterpart Osman Saleh Mohammed that Eritrean troops had been stationed inside Ethiopian territory […]

Turkey opposes military operations against Iran

Turkey says it is against any military operation against Iran, warning that foreign intervention would only deepen crises in the country and across the Middle East.
