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 […]

Khamenei’s daughter, in laws, granddaughter killed in US Israel strikes

Iranian media have reported that several close relatives of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, were killed in the recent United States and Israeli strikes on the country. Reports said his daughter, son in law and granddaughter died in the attacks, alongside other senior figures targeted in strikes on Tehran and key leadership locations. State linked outlets, quoting sources within the Supreme Leader’s household, said they had confirmed the “martyrdom” of these family members following the bombardment. The deaths came during the same operation in which Khamenei himself and other top military and political leaders were reported killed, prompting Iran to declare 40 days of national mourning.​ Officials in Washington and Tel Aviv have not given specific public comment on the reported deaths of Khamenei’s relatives, maintaining that the operation was aimed at Iran’s leadership and strategic military infrastructure.

Gumi asks FG to halt military cooperation with US over ISIS bombing

Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Abubakar Mahmoud Gumi has called on the Federal Government to immediately suspend all military cooperation with the United States following US airstrikes on ISIS targets in Nigeria. He warned that continued American involvement could worsen insecurity and undermine Nigeria’s national sovereignty.​ Gumi made his position known in a statement shared on his Facebook page. He argued that while Islam allows the fight against terrorism, such operations must be carried out by what he described as clean hands, insisting that the US lacks the moral authority to lead counterterrorism efforts because of its global military record.​ According to him, Nigeria made a mistake by allowing foreign powers to play a direct role in its security operations. He said foreign military interventions often come with hidden political interests and can lead to civilian casualties.​ Gumi also cautioned that […]
