Russian Foreign Ministry calls US and Israeli attack on Iran an 'IRRESPONSIBLE MOVE'

 The Foreign Ministry of Russia Federation has called US and Israeli attack on Iran an 'IRRESPONSIBLE MOVE'

The ministry described the US and Israeli bombing of Iran as a premeditated and unprovoked act of armed aggression

According to the statement, the responsibility for the negative consequences of this man-made crisis lies entirely with the US and Israel. The motives behind the US and Israeli attacks on Iran have nothing to do with the preservation of non-proliferation

"The US and Israel cannot fail to understand that their actions in escalating the situation in the Middle East push the region towards acquiring new weapons."

Moscow expresses concern over the serial nature of destabilizing US strikes on the international legal foundations of the global order.

Russia demands the immediate return of the situation around Iran to a diplomatic resolution.

Moscow is ready to assist in finding peaceful solutions in the Middle East based on international law and mutual respect. The statement said.

U.S, Israeli joint military strikes against Iran have been met with immediate retaliatory strikes on US military bases in the middle east including the headquarters in Bahrain.

Retaliatory strikes across the Gulf region as Iran's Foreign Ministry says the "time has come to defend the homeland" after the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes

Retaliatory strikes across the Gulf region have been reported as the Iran's Foreign Ministry announced that the "time has come to defend the homeland" after the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes

Iran has reportedly launched retaliatory strikes across the Gulf region. According to early reports, the following locations have been targeted:

Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar

Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait

Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates

The U.S. Fifth Fleet naval base in Bahrain

Authorities in the region have not yet released full details on damage or casualties. The situation remains fluid, with confirmations still emerging.

The report, which is not officially confirmed and which the channel says is broadcast within the limitations of military censorship, says the assessment relates to senior commanders, and to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. Hebrew media reported earlier that a presidential facility was targeted in the initial strikes by the US -Iaraeli joint military strike.

According the Washington Post, the joint military strikes and attacks on Iran includes sea-launched Tomahawk missiles and air-launched missiles fired from U.S. Air Force and Navy jets, a U.S. official said. Operations are expected to run through at least the weekend in a multiday pressure campaign, the official said.

Statements by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed that the Headquarters of the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet in Bahrain Targeted by IRGC Missiles and Drones

In response to the aggression of the criminal U.S. military and the child-killing Zionist regime, and with divine assistance, the first phase of Operation True Promise 4 has commenced, marked by extensive strikes carried out by the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran against regional targets of the aggressor.

IRGC missiles and drones targeted the headquarters of the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, as well as other American bases in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. In addition, military and security centers in the heart of the occupied territories were struck with decisive force.

The missile and drone operations of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran are ongoing, and further details will be announced in due course.

“And victory is not but from Allah, the Almighty, the All-Wise

Reuters reported that the targets of the U.S. and Israeli strikes were the Supreme Leader and Masoud Pezeshkian, and the results of the operation are still unknown.

Tehran has also said that all of its leaders are safe after the U.S.-Israeli strike, but it did not directly mention the status of the Supreme Leader. This debunked the initial reports, Ali Shamkhani, senior advisor to Ali Khameinei, has been assassinated in a US/Israeli airstrike.

Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran

Regarding the military aggression by the Zionist regime and the United States against #Iran 

Heroic and noble people of Iran,

Iranian compatriots, 

Our sacred and beloved homeland, proud and civilization-making Iran, has once again been subjected to criminal military aggression by the #UnitedStates and the #ZionistRegime. 

This morning, on the eve of Nowruz and on the tenth day of the holy month of Ramadan, the United States and the Zionist regime, in a gross violation of Iran’s territorial integrity and national sovereignty, attacked a series of targets, defense infrastructures, and civilian sites in various cities of our country. 

The renewed military aggression of the United States and the Zionist regime against Iran is being committed while Iran and the United States were in the midst of a diplomatic process. Despite being confident in the intentions of the United States and the Zionist regime to carry out another military aggression, we once again entered into negotiations to prove

to the international system and all countries of the world the legitimacy of the Iranian nation and to demonstrate the illegitimacy of any excuse for aggression. 

Now the Iranian people are proud that they did everything necessary to prevent war. Now is the time to defend the homeland and confront the enemy's military aggression. Just as we were ready for negotiations, we have been more prepared than ever for defense. The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will respond to the aggressors with authority. 

The airstrikes by the Zionist and American regimes on Iran are a violation of Article 2(4), of the United Nations Charter and a clear armed aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Responding to this aggression is Iran's legal and legitimate right in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, and the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will use all their might and resources to confront this criminal aggression and repel the enemy's evil act. 

The Islamic Republic of Iran recalls the grave duty of the United Nations and its Security Council to take immediate action to confront the violation of international peace and security due to the clear military aggression of the United States and the Zionist regime against Iran, and calls on the UN Secretary-General, the President of the Security Council, and the members of this Council to fulfill their duty as soon as possible. 

All member states of the United Nations, especially regional and Islamic countries, members of the Non-Aligned Movement, and all states that feel responsible for international peace and security, are expected to firmly condemn this act of aggression and take urgent and collective action to confront it, which has undoubtedly exposed the peace and security of the region and the world to an unprecedented threat. 

And now, at a time when the great test of history has arrived, the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, inspired by the great epic heritage of this land and relying on God Almighty, with faith in the promise of divine victory, and relying on national power, will not hesitate to defend our beloved homeland with all their might. 

History testifies that Iranians have never surrendered to foreign aggression and hegemony; this time too, the response of the Iranian nation will be decisive and determining and will make the aggressors regret their criminal act. 

Long live Iran

Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Tehran has called on the United Nations Security Council to convene an urgent meeting on Saturday to act to halt what it described as aggression against the country, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said. 

Baghaei also said Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was “alive and well.”  

JTF TROOPS STORM MOTHER VALLEY, CRUSH IPOB/ESN STRONGHOLD IN DECISIVE ASSAULT

Troops of Joint Task Force (JTF) South East (SE) Operation UDO KA (OPUK), comprising the Nigerian Army, Nigeria Police Force, and Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), on 26 February 2026 launched a daring final foot assault into the notorious Mother Valley, Nkwere, Anambra State, a long-standing enclave of IPOB/ESN elements. Advancing relentlessly for over three hours through difficult and restricted terrain, the combined troops demonstrated exceptional courage, discipline, and professionalism to penetrate and dominate the valley despite fierce resistance.

During the intense engagement, the criminals employed locally made hand-held IEDs and heavy gunfire in a desperate attempt to halt the advance. Undeterred, troops decisively overwhelmed the hostile elements, neutralizing one IPOB member while several others fled with gunshot wounds, effectively shattering their defensive positions and operational cohesion.

A significant cache of weapons and logistics was recovered, including two pump-action guns, one locally fabricated gun, one tear gas gun, seven gas cylinders, an electric kettle, and flags linked to extremist propaganda. Troops also destroyed all life-support structures at the terrorists’ Supreme Headquarters in the valley, including solar panels and a Mikano generator, dealing a critical blow to their operational sustainability.

In a related operation, two suspected IPOB members were arrested by an ambush team, one while attempting to emplace an IED and the other identified as a spy monitoring troop movements. Additionally, one KIA saloon car and one black Toyota Sequoia jeep were recovered from a terrorist car park within the valley. The suspects are currently in custody for profiling and further investigation, while troops continue aggressive clearance operations to deny the criminals any freedom of action.

This decisive operation sends a clear and unmistakable warning to all criminal elements: there will be no hiding place, no sanctuary and no escape. The Nigerian Army remains resolute, relentless and fully committed to dismantling all terrorist networks across the South East and the entire nation. Law-abiding citizens are assured of sustained security presence and protection, while criminals should expect swift, overwhelming and lawful force wherever they attempt to threaten peace and stability.

Papa Mama Pikin... LABOUR PARTY SHALL RISE AGAIN! - Tony Akeni

Yesterday, Wednesday February 25, 2026, the national leadership of Labour Party, the NLC, TUC 36 states and Abuja Political Committee heads of the two umbrella trade centres of Nigeria and stakeholders of the party held an extraordinary summit in Abuja.

The theme of the summit was "Re-uniting the Labour Family: Consolidating Strength for Political Impact."

Comprising two sessions of impactive, constructive and fruitful engagements, the first session held at the party's National headquarters in Utako where two highlights took the front burner: reconciliation of all members and varied persuasions of the Labour Party towards the success of the party's oncoming nationwide congresses and national convention. 

To support the huge nationwide exercise, a flagship dedicated App for membership registration and revalidation was demonstrated by a consultant firm for stakeholders feedback towards achieving a seamless multi-component online infrastructure for the task.  

In a display of disarming humility, earnestness and candour uncommon with politicians of this age, the Caretaker National Chairman of the party, Sen. Nenadi Usman, called out to all and sundry, in sync and hitherto aggrieved, to return to their first love, the Papa-Mama-Pikin ideological market square which the Labour Party represents for Nigerian workers, long suffering masses and citizens of all classes towards making the party great again.

Siting Comrade Tony Akeni at the event, the NLC backed Acting National Publicity Secretary of Labour Party standing with her media aide, the impeccable gentleman Barr. Ken Asogua, Sen. Nenadi came over with a hilarious mother fanfare and told everyone: "This is Tony, the troubler of Israel."

Amidst having a good laugh at her Ahab jab,  I pledged right away on the spot and meant it, "Dear Madam Chair," I said, "I will never trouble your Israel again. From now I shall trouble Egypt alone for your sake." That sank well with everyone and was the cause of the laughter you see in the photo above.

Be it known here forward that Labour Party is now one undivided and indivisible political family as we head for nationwide state congresses and national convention of our party in fulfilment of the long stalled consent judgment of Justice Gabriel Kolawole delivered since March 18, 2020. A turn-point judgment and task which the defunct Julius Abure council had defied and refused to honour for six years. Now Sen. Esther Usman Nenadi is all set to accomplish that with flare and flourish in the foreseeable few months down the corner.

Join the party!

Join the hearty.

Forgery, Perjury Allegations Rock Osogbo as Police Probe Lawyer Over Disputed Land Title

An Osogbo-based lawyer, Mr. Muyideen Adeoye Galadima, is at the centre of a police investigation as operatives of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), Zone XI Zonal Command Headquarters, Osogbo, probe allegations of forgery, impersonation, and perjury over a land title document said to belong to the late legal practitioner, Barrister Tunji Abolade.


Galadima is reportedly accused of unlawfully converting a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) belonging to the deceased legal luminary and laying claim to a judgment land adjudged to Madam Sinatu Adeoye.


He is further alleged to have acted in connivance with a NIPCO filling station, the Alare-Iyiolu family, and others — including Olugbenga Aro, Latona Olaiya Tajudeen, and Alhaji Waheed Raheem — whom he allegedly induced to depose to an oath before a Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo in Suit No: FHC/OS/CS/23/2026, claiming ownership of the disputed documents.


The land dispute dates back to the 1970s and concerns a vast expanse of land owned by Madam Sinatu Adeoye.


The property stretches along both sides of the Osogbo–Ikirun Road, covering areas such as Powerline, Omidiran Garden, Iyana Camp, Biket Junction Area, and Ifesowapo Community, sharing boundaries with Bidire and adjoining communities.


Investigations reveal that the dispute led to two major court actions at the State High Court in Osogbo.


In Suit No: HOS/102/80, instituted by Shittu Ladimeji & 3 Ors. on behalf of the Iyiolu Alare Family of Osogbo against Madam Sinatu Adeoye, the court declared Adeoye the lawful and genuine owner of the land — including the parcel housing the Transmission Company of Nigeria, Osogbo.


Following their loss in 1982, the Iyiolu Alare family allegedly engaged Hephzibah Holdings Limited, an estate firm owned by Deji Olugunna, to sell the same land through a Power of Attorney, despite the subsisting judgment affirming Adeoye’s ownership.


Madam Sinatu Adeoye subsequently challenged the move, asserting that the land had originally been allocated to her late father, Akande Adeoye, by Oba Bamgbola of Iyadudu Royal Family of Osogbo, and that she remains the sole surviving heir.


The dispute culminated in a second action — Suit No: HOS/71/1993 between Hephzibah Holdings Limited v. Madam Sinatu Adeoye & 4 Ors. In her counterclaim, Adeoye clearly delineated the boundaries of her land before the court.


Due to heightened tension surrounding the matter, the presiding judge, Hon. Justice R.O. Yusuf, visited the locus in quo to physically ascertain the land’s location and boundaries.


The court ultimately dismissed Hephzibah Holdings Limited’s claims, awarded costs of N2,000 against the company, and ruled decisively in favour of Madam Sinatu Adeoye.


The court granted her declaratory judgment, affirming that her counterclaim succeeded and that the survey plans tendered in both Suit Nos: HOS/102/80 and HOS/71/1993 did not exhaust the full extent of her vast landholding along the Osogbo–Ikirun Road.


The ongoing police probe reportedly stems from a petition dated February 10, 2026, signed by Barrister Lekan Alabi and addressed to the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone XI, Osogbo.


The petition, titled:“Complaint of Conspiracy, Fraudulent Conversion, Perjury, Forgery, Stealing, Impersonation and Contempt”,names several individuals, including Mr. Gbenga Aro, Mr. Latona Olaiya Tajudeen, Alhaji Waheed Raheem (alias Odua), Pa Adeyanju Busari Hamzat, Mr. Sarafa Omidiji, Muili Folorunsho, Mr. Muniru Saka, and Mr. Muyideen Adeoye Galadima, among others described as judgment debtors and illegal occupants.


According to the petition, various alleged illegal occupants have been presenting different documents purportedly claiming ownership of portions of the judgment land, allegedly facilitated by Galadima through forged title documents.


The petition further alleges that these actions emboldened parties linked to the NIPCO Filling Station to demolish a warehouse under construction beside the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) office, near Biket Junction along the Osogbo–Ikirun Road.


Additionally, Galadima and his associates are alleged to have filed multiple applications before Osun State High Courts seeking to set aside the February 26, 1997 High Court judgment, rather than approaching the appellate court if dissatisfied with the ruling on the judgment creditor’s land.


Meanwhile, the complainant has urged the police to prosecute the matter upon completion of a thorough and diligent investigation.
As the investigation unfolds, the case is expected to test the integrity of land administration, judicial finality, and professional ethics within the legal community in Osogbo and beyond.

PRESS RELEASE: LABOUR PARTY HOLDS RECONCILIATION MEETING IN OGUN STATE, MOVES TOWARD UNITY

Date: 24th February,2026 

Venue:NLC State Secretariat, Abeokuta 

The Ogun State Chapter of the Labour Party (LP) wishes to inform the general public and our esteemed members of a significant development in our efforts to foster unity and strengthen the party ahead of future electoral challenges.

Following the recent judgments of the Court of Appeal, the leadership of our great party, under the distinguished leadership of the Deputy National Chairman (South), Mrs. Temidayo Nike Oriola Job, convened a crucial reconciliation meeting with stakeholders in Ogun State. The meeting, held on 19th February,2026, brought together members of the Ogun State Interim Executive and other party faithful who, subsequent to the court rulings, have aligned with the Senator Nenadi Usman-led National Executive Committee (NEC).

During the session, it was acknowledged that there were periods of intense legal battles where party members found themselves on different sides, as well as others who left the fold to aligned with other political party. It was noted that some members who are now converts to the Nenadi Usman-led Exco had, during the heat of the court cases, reported their fellow party members to security agencies (including the Nigeria Police and the Department of State Services) for impersonation, even as the now-dispersed Julius Abure leadership for declaring support for the Nenadi Usman faction.

In her characteristic spirit of inclusive leadership, the Deputy National Chairman (South), Mrs. Temidayo Nike Oriola, urged all parties to embrace one another and bury the hatchet. She emphasized that the Labour Party must move beyond the acrimony of the past and present a united front to the people of Ogun State.

As a concrete step towards enduring peace, the leadership has directed that a harmonized reconciliation committee be formed. Both sides involved in the dispute have been mandated to submit a list of nine (9) members each, making a total of eighteen (18) members. This committee will be inaugurated to oversee the formal reconciliation process and ensure that all grievances are permanently laid to rest.

As the Publicity Secretary of the Ogun State Labour Party, I urge all our members to cooperate with this initiative. The Labour Party remains the vehicle for the hopes and aspirations of the masses, and we cannot afford to be distracted by internal conflicts. We are committed to rebuilding, reconciling, and emerging stronger.

We thank our leaders, members, and the press for their continued support.

Signed:

Kika Glasgow

Publicity Secretary
