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he described as contempt for international law and United Nations resolutions, noting that the US under his watch has withdrawn from dozens of UN decisions.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

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” […]

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 […]

World on edge as US, Israel strike Iran and Tehran hits back

The world is on edge after the United States and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran, prompting Tehran to fire missiles across the Middle East in a dangerous military escalation. US President Donald Trump announced that a major combat operation was under way to eliminate what he called the Iranian regime’s military and nuclear threats. The initial strikes hit multiple targets in Iran, including Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, Tabriz, Kermanshah and other cities, as well as locations linked to the country’s leadership and security agencies. In swift retaliation, Iran launched ballistic missiles and drones at Israel and at US military bases and facilities in several Gulf and Middle Eastern countries, including Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Kuwait. Explosions and interception efforts were reported over Israeli cities, while Jordanian authorities said their air defence shot down incoming […]

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. U S officials said American forces used air and naval assets to strike multiple targets, though the full scale of the operation has not yet been disclosed. The Israeli government described its role as a pre emptive move to remove threats to its security, while U S President Donald Trump called the campaign a major combat operation aimed at preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Iranian authorities confirmed that the strikes hit areas linked to the leadership, including a district in Tehran where Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali […]

Russia warns US-Israeli attacks on Iran could spark ‘catastrophe’

Russia has condemned US and Israeli strikes on Iran as a “dangerous adventure” that could push the Middle East to the brink of humanitarian, economic and even radiological catastrophe.​ In a strongly worded statement, Moscow accused Washington and Tel Aviv of openly seeking to destroy Iran’s constitutional order and overthrow a government that refuses to submit to Western “hegemonism”. The foreign ministry said the aggressors would bear full responsibility for any chain reaction of escalating violence triggered by their actions.​ Russia, which has grown closer to Tehran since launching its offensive in Ukraine, urged its citizens to leave both Iran and Israel amid fears of further strikes. It also said it was ready to help broker peaceful solutions grounded in international law, mutual respect and a balance of interests.​ Moscow recalled that it signed a strategic partnership treaty with Iran […]

US Iran talks end with no deal but show signs of progress

Indirect talks between the United States and Iran over Tehran’s nuclear programme have ended in Geneva without a deal but with both sides reporting limited progress and plans to meet again soon.​ Oman’s foreign minister, Sayyid Badr Albusaidi, who mediated the discussions, said negotiators exchanged “creative and positive ideas” and agreed to resume talks after consulting their capitals, with technical meetings scheduled in Vienna next week. He described the day as one of “significant progress” but gave no details on whether the main sticking points had been resolved.​ The talks, held separately between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, are widely seen as a last chance to avoid possible US military strikes, amid a major American buildup of warships and jets near Iran.​ Araqchi told Iranian state TV that the negotiations were “intense […]

Iran vows flexibility at Geneva nuclear talks amid US strike threat

Iran has promised to show flexibility at indirect nuclear talks with the United States in Geneva, held under the shadow of a large US military buildup and the threat of possible strikes.​ The latest round of negotiations, the third this month, is focused on Iran’s nuclear programme and sanctions relief, with meetings mediated by Oman’s foreign minister Badr Albusaidi. US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and presidential adviser Jared Kushner are due to take part on the American side, while Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi leads the Iranian team.​ Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on state TV that Tehran will approach the talks with seriousness and flexibility, but only on nuclear and sanctions issues. He rejected attempts to add Iran’s ballistic missile programme to the agenda, after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the missiles a major problem and […]

Modi visits Israel as US Iran tensions rise

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrives in Israel on Wednesday for a two day visit that both governments say will deepen ties, as fears grow over a possible military clash between the United States and Iran. Modi, a Hindu nationalist, was the first Indian prime minister ever to visit Israel in 2017, when he and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu famously walked barefoot together on a Haifa beach.​ The two men remain in power nearly nine years later and describe each other as friends. During this visit they are expected to hold talks on artificial intelligence and defence cooperation at a time when Israel is seeking to expand its military exports. An Israeli government official said the trip would pave the way for new partnerships in many sectors, while a foreign ministry official said bilateral relations were close to a significant […]
