US to Investigate Disappearance of Nuclear Scientists

US to Investigate Disappearance of Nuclear Scientists

 


US President Donald Trump has said he held a meeting regarding unconfirmed reports about missing nuclear scientists.


Trump said on Thursday that he had just held a meeting to discuss reports claiming that a number of scientists working in the nuclear field had gone missing.


Speaking to reporters, Trump said: “I just came out of a meeting on this subject,” describing the matter as “very serious,” according to The Hill.


In recent days, questions have been raised in scientific circles over unconfirmed reports of the death or disappearance of several experts in space, defense, and nuclear energy fields, with no confirmed link between the cases.


According to media reports, including Newsweek and Daily Mail, a veteran scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Michael David Hicks, reportedly died in 2023, with no official cause of death disclosed. Newsweek noted that this case is part of a list of nine deaths or disappearances involving American experts in space, defense, and nuclear-related fields.


Trump added: “I hope it’s all random, but we’ll know within a week or two,” saying that “some of these were very important people.”


His comments came after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt hinted on Wednesday at the possibility of opening an investigation into the reports.


She said during a press briefing: “I have not yet spoken to the relevant agencies about this matter, but I will certainly do so and we will get you an answer. If these reports are confirmed, it would be something worth investigating by this administration.”

Iranian State TV reveales the reasons for the failure of the talks with the U.S

Iranian State TV reveales the reasons for the failure of the talks with the U.S

 


The negotiations between the US delegations and Iranian delegations failed to achieve anything meaningful after a 21hrs of negotiations.

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi as reportes by Iranian TV revealed the reasons behind the failure of the two sides to achieve any agreeable understanding in Islamabad, Pakistan.

Details:

- The U.S. tried to achieve at the negotiating table what it could not achieve through war

- The Americans demanded that Iran hand over enriched uranium and open the Strait of Hormuz without recognizing Iran’s sovereignty over it

- Iran has decided to defend its national interests by military means.

"We are disappointed with how US behaved. Netanyahu's call to Vance during the meeting shifted the focus from US-Iran negotiations to Israel's interests. The U.S. tried to achieve at the negotiating table what it could not achieve through war. We came here with good faith, the press conference by Vance before he left Pakistan was unnecessary, we are committed & prepared to safeguard our nation's interest and sovereignty"- Iran FM Seyed Abbas Araghchi.

The success of the negotiations depends on avoiding excessive and illegal demands and recognising Iran’s legitimate rights, the Iranian Foreign Ministry affirmed.


The US/Iran talks to end the war in Islamabad went through sharp swings and continued into the early hours of this morning, a Pakistani official told the Washington Post.


According to some reports from social media, US President Donald Trump has proposed a naval blockade against Iran following failed negotiations in Islamabad between the U.S. and Iran.

Trump suggested the U.S. could respond to Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz by imposing its own blockade.

 The U.S. Navy could potentially assert control over maritime traffic in the strait, effectively restricting movement along this critical global oil route.

 The proposal comes amid broader warnings from Trump after the collapse of talks, while Pakistan continues mediation efforts and urges both sides to maintain the ceasefire despite rising tensions around the Strait of Hormuz.


According to credible source, Iran will only allow about 10 ships per day through Strait of Hormuz for fees up to $2 million . 

Tehran plans to permit no more than a dozen vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, with fees potentially as high as $2 million per supertanker, US media reported


Shipowners from several countries are said to be negotiating with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) for permission to transit the strategic waterway


The limited number of ships allowed to cross will have to follow specially designated routes and obtain the necessary permits


Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened following a two-week ceasefire announcement on Wednesday night

US Claims of ceasefire talks with Iran ‘nothing but tactic to buy time for ground invasion’ - expert

US Claims of ceasefire talks with Iran ‘nothing but tactic to buy time for ground invasion’ - expert

China's military intelligence Warns IRGC the US preparing an amphibious operation in Iran in the coming days



The United States President Donald Trump's claim of any ceasefire in the ongoing US/Israel offensive against Iran is nothing but deception.


“Coordination between the US and Israeli forces has been disrupted, while Iran's retaliatory capability is on rise. Washington realizes the fact that the situation is not developing in the direction it had expected,” Turkish military analyst Kemal Olcar tells Sputnik.


Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system “has collapsed, and they urgently need new ammunition. One of the US ships has burned, another has turned into a pile of scrap metal, and their military is in dire conditions,” Olcar maintains


The United States is facing a shortage of weapons but planing an offensive ground operations in Iran.


U.S. Department of Defense said the Pentagon have signed three agreements with four companies to increase and accelerate the production of weapons, including the THAAD missile defense system.

The U.S. is quietly preparing possible ground operations inside Iran including plans to seize Kharg Island, control key Hormuz islands, and launch special-forces strikes on nuclear sites, signaling a shift from airstrikes toward direct military inter

Iran’s army said the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier was targeted with naval cruise missiles. 

According to an IRGC official, the United States believes our missile stockpile will run out soon — this is an illusion.

Missile production continues daily without interruption, and our strategic stockpile is sufficient for a long-term confrontation.


Meanwhile, China's military intelligence has warned the IRGC about the US preparing an amphibious operation in Iran in the coming days. 


Iranian representatives have notified Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan that the US is deliberately stalling for time by amassing forces in the region. The US Army's amphibious group has not yet arrived in the Gulf for deployment.


Iran  has rejected Pakistan’s mediation outright; Israel and Gulf states also refuse any deal involving Islamabad. Tehran even turned back two Pakistani ships at Hormuz — a direct snub to Trump’s peace push, exposing Washington’s collapsing diplomacy.

According to A Jazeera, Pakistan has delivered a US proposal to Iran, but the venue for any talks between Tehran and Washington to end the war has yet to be decided, a senior Iranian source told Reuters.

Russia decides to evacuate its personnel from the Bushehr nuclear power plant and maintain a minimal presence.


According to Rosatom, two additional groups of Russian experts at Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant will be evacuated in the near future, and the number of experts at the plant will be temporarily reduced to a minimum until the situation returns to normal.


At least 11 countries are evacuating their citizens from Israel, including China, India, Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, Australia, Japan, and South Korea.


Mass evacuations means great warning sign as Iran ballistic missiles are no longer facing obstruction hitting targets in Israel.


Governments are preparing for massive escalation and the risk of heavier strikes on Israel is growing.


Most are exiting via the Taba crossing into Egypt, then flying out from Sharm El Sheikh.


On a possible ceasefire, "A ceasefire could be reached by April 9, but the conflict itself will remain," a leading researcher at the Center for Security Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences and political scientist Konstantin Blokhin says, commenting on reports of a US deadline to halt hostilities.


 Washington may try to freeze the fighting to open negotiations, but “the US is not in a position to impose a change of power in Iran,” he notes.


At the same time, Iran is unlikely to accept unilateral US demands, expecting concessions in return for any steps toward de-escalation.


 "Russia could act as a mediator in this process," Blokhin adds, citing Moscow’s stable ties with both Washington and Tehran.


Trita Parsi, an Iranian analyst who advised the Obama administration on the 2015 nuclear deal, cited an energy sector insider who confirmed that Iran's petrochemical sales are now up.


Before the war: 1.1M barrels/day at $47/barrel.


Today: 1.5M barrels/day at $110 — with only a $2–4 discount.


Furthermore, new payment mechanisms bypass the Gulf states, granting Iran financial independence.


"Trump and Israel's war has ended up delivering Iran de facto sanctions relief. Iran is all the less incentivized to end the war, unless the agreement provides formal sanctions relief," he concludes.


The UN’s top human rights official on Wednesday urged states to end the war on Iran, calling the situation in the Middle East “extremely dangerous and unpredictable.”

US - Israel - Iran War: Trump May Declare Ceasefire Soon, Islamic Republic of Iran will not surrender, attacks , War continue says Supreme Leader

US - Israel - Iran War: Trump May Declare Ceasefire Soon, Islamic Republic of Iran will not surrender, attacks , War continue says Supreme Leader

Until we ensure there will be no more attacks in our land in the future, the war will continue, Iranian President Tells Macron 

Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei rejected proposals sent to Iran’s foreign ministry by intermediaries, telling a foreign policy meeting, “It is not the time for peace,”.

There are indications that American President Donald Trump May may unilaterally go ahead to declare Ceasefire at any moment from now in the ongoing war against Iran.

Also, Iran has rejected Trump's ceasefire request and intends to seek revenge against the United States, according to Reuters.

Tehran received a ceasefire proposal through two intermediaries, but new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei rejected it, the agency reports.

Khamenei's position on revenge against the United States and Israel at the first meeting was "very tough and serious," a Reuters source emphasized.

Trump, meanwhile, has publicly stated several times that he allegedly doesn't want a "deal" because it isn't good enough. "Now is not the time for peace. US and Israel must be defeated."

The empire thought killing the father would break the son. It didn't.

No ceasefire. No surrender. No submission.

The US wants an exit. Iran wants victory.

The war continues. On Iran's terms.


Iran confirms Ali Karijani's Elimination by Israel

As Israeli forces also continue to carry out attacks on Terhan, an Iranian official sent a very short message to an @iranwire reporter who asked about Larijani's death: It is true...

While the Israeli leaders confirmed the elimination of the Iranian top man, the government of Iran hasn't announced it yet. But, if true, it's the start of the most chaotic phase of post-Khamenei Iran. The regime has lost one of the most influential and ruthlessly efficient insiders.

On the need and reason for the war to continue, Iran president was on phone call with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron as United States President Donald Trump was obviously ready to end the war with Tehran.

Iranian President wrote on his official X handle: In my conversation with the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, I emphasized that Iran did not begin this atrocious war. Defending against invasion is a natural right, in which we are good at.

Using the American bases against Iran in the region, with the purpose of disturbing our relations with our neighbors, should be stopped.

Peace and stability in the region, cannot be achieved while disregarding the Zionist-American invasion in our country. The Islamic Republic of Iran will not surrender to bullies.

We expect the global community to condemn this invasion and convince invaders to respect international laws.

Commencing a war in order to conquest, based on false information, is a medieval act in 21st century

Speaking of ending the war, is meaningless, until we ensure there will be no more attacks in our land in the future.

Donald Trump: “Big Wave” of US Military Action Against Iran Is Still To Come


United States President Donald Trump has said a “big wave” of US military action against Iran is still to come, describing the current campaign as only the beginning, and claimed 49 Iranian leaders were killed in initial strikes.


According to a Blomberg, the UAE and Qatar are privately lobbying allies to help them persuade Trump to reach for an off-ramp that would keep US military operations against Iran short, sources say.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said US and Israel's attacks on hospitals strike at life itself. Attacks on schools target a nation's future. Targeting patients and children blatantly violates humanitarian principles. The world must condemn it. I stand with my grieving nation. Iran will not remain silent or yield to these crimes.


According to an AFP report, Trump says Iran operations likely to last 4 to 5 weeks, but says he's prepared "to go far longer than that."

US will regrets miscalculation: Iran is ready for a long war, unlike Washington - Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani

US will regrets miscalculation: Iran is ready for a long war, unlike Washington - Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani

 A Senior Iranian official, Ali Larijani has said Iran has prepared for a long war and is acting only in self-defense in the current conflict with the United States and Israel.


In a post on his X page, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said Iran did not start the war and that its armed forces had engaged only in defensive action. He said Iran would defend itself “regardless of the costs” and would make its enemies regret what he called a miscalculation.



Prof Mirandi of Tehran University was also reportedly said that Iran has been preparing for this since the Iraq invasion of 2003.

They knew that they would be next sometime in the future

Hence, Iran may never involved in any ceasefire against the United States and Israel as a retaliations for all the Iranian leaders killed including the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic Ayatollah.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday said the conflict with Iran “is not Iraq” and would not become an endless war, describing current operations as limited and focused on eliminating specific military threats.

“This is not endless,” Hegseth said at a news conference, adding that the mission was “clear, devastating and decisive” and aimed at destroying Iran’s offensive missile capabilities, missile production and naval assets so that it will “never have nuclear weapons.”

Will Iran stop the retaliatory attacks for any negotiations with the US and Israeli? 

Iranian Gen. Jabbar has said the Americans have relocated the majority of their aircraft to Cyprus; we will launch so many missiles at Cyprus that they will be forced to flee from there as well.


According to a report by Al Jazeera, US Air Force General Dan Caine, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, says the joint US-Israeli attacks on Iran is "not a single overnight mission... We expect to take additional losses."

All U.S. military bases have been placed on heightened alert under Threat Condition signaling an increased risk of attack.

Spain has officially barred the United States from using its bases to support strikes on Iran, says PM Pedro Sánchez.

According to Tehran Times, the Iran's IRGC has reportedly destroyed the oil tanker Stena Imperative, which was flying the United States flag, while it was in the port of Bahrain. The vessel was hit by Iranian drone or missile fire on Monday, according to the Reuters and other outlets that cited the maritime security firm Vanguard Tech. There was no immediate comment from US authorities.

IRGC in a statement on Monday said: We’ve just started using the 2nd generation missiles today. In the upcoming days, you’ll witness the 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th generation missiles if needed. 

Gen. Jabbari: To date, we have launched approximately 3,000 first- and second-generation missiles and approximately 10,000 drones

In the coming days, we will certainly deploy third- and fourth-generation missiles.

Iran says has ‘no choice’ but to fight back, holds no enmity toward American people

Tehran and it's allied armed groups fired missiles at Israel, Arab states and U.S. military targets around the region on Monday, while Israel and the United States pounded Iran as the war expanded to several fronts. Kuwait mistakenly shot down three American warplanes over its skies.

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

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.

No Regime Change in Iran — Kremlin warns US as Russian Warships Hold Position in Strait of Hormuz with IRAN

No Regime Change in Iran — Kremlin warns US as Russian Warships Hold Position in Strait of Hormuz with IRAN


Russia Federation on warned the United States that there won't be a regime change in Iran especially the external induced change in Tehran will not be allowed.

On February 20, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Lavrov and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran Abbas Araghchi held a telephone conversation.


The Foreign Ministers exchanged views on the current situation regarding the Iranian nuclear programme, including in light of the recent indirect US-Iran contacts held in Geneva.

The Russian Side reaffirmed its support for a negotiation process aimed at finding fair political and diplomatic solutions while fully respecting Iran’s legitimate rights in accordance with the principles of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

The Ministers also touched upon certain issues on the bilateral agenda of mutual interest.


In another related development, Russia"No Regime Change as We monitor an unprecedented escalation around IRAN" Russian Warships Hold Position in Strait of Hormuz with IRAN.

Dimitry Peskov who is the Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin noted the escalation is "singular" or historic in scale but expressed hope for negotiations. This aligns with Moscow's broader stance of supporting Iran while avoiding direct entanglement.

As Iran's close partner, Russia reaffirmed ongoing ties (including the drills) but positioned itself as favoring diplomacy.

Russia opposes external efforts at regime change in Iran, viewing them as violations of sovereignty and destabilizing. For instance, Russian officials have criticized US approaches that could lead to overthrowing the Iranian government, framing such actions as incitement or unlawful interference.


Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and other Russian officials and diplomats have explicitly condemned Western "plots" for regime change in Iran.


The United States and Iran concluded a second round of indirect negotiations mediated by Oman on Tuesday, with both sides acknowledging progress amid a growing American military buildup in the region.


Shortly after the Geneva talks, US Vice President JD Vance described the process as productive "in some ways," but said Tehran was "not yet willing" to engage on some of Trump's "red lines."


Araghchi said talks showed progress, describing the atmosphere as "more constructive."


US President Donald Trump has significantly stepped up American military presence in the region, deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group, with the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier on its way to the region, along with additional fighter jets.


The Geneva meeting was the second round of negotiations since US President Donald Trump ordered strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities during the 12-day Iran-Israel war last June. The first round was held in Muscat, Oman, on Feb. 6.


On Thursday, Trump said it will be clear if it is possible to make a deal with Iran "over the next probably 10 days," warning that Washington "may have to take it a step further" if negotiations fall short.

Earlier, the Kremlin called on Iran and all regional partners to "exercise restraint and caution," describing the tensions as "unprecedented."

US amasses strike force for ‘unprovoked aggression’ against Iran says an analyst as Trump says US must make 'meaningful deal' with Iran, 'otherwise bad things happen'

US amasses strike force for ‘unprovoked aggression’ against Iran says an analyst as Trump says US must make 'meaningful deal' with Iran, 'otherwise bad things happen'


As American President Donald Trump is on the brink of a war on Iran that has been decades in the making, the US military buildup ongoing in the Middle East is aimed at “inflicting serious damage on Iran,” military analyst Dmitry Drozdenko tells Sputnik.

Trump urges #Iran to strike a “meaningful” deal as a huge American military build-up takes shape in the Middle East amid US threats of action against Tehran.“US escalation is driven by the recognition that neither Israel’s Iron Dom nor patriot defense system can curtailed Irankiran missiles.

No doubt Donald Trump is now seen as a bigger threat to global peace than even Russia by some of America’s former allies. Arleigh Burke-class destroyers with SM-3 and SM-6 interceptors can fully neutralize Iran’s missile arsenal,” says the pundit. The US has been the biggest threat to global peace for a good number of decades. They are the world's terrorists.

Meanwhile, Trump, at Board of Peace meeting, says US must make 'meaningful deal' with Iran, 'otherwise bad things happen'. Maybe we are going to make a deal, You are going to be finding out over the next probably 10 days. We may have to take it a step further (military)

A second American aircraft carrier — the USS Gerald R. Ford — is heading toward the Middle East amid rising tensions with Iran, accompanied by destroyers and aircraft being redeployed from missions in the Caribbean region, a U.S. ABC News reported.

As negotiations between the U.S. and Iran over Tehran's nuclear program continue, American aircraft carriers are at the forefront of a major U.S. military buildup in the Middle East. The Ford is expected to join the USS Abraham Lincoln in the region, the latter having arrived there late last month.

The Ford briefly transmitted its location off the coast of Morocco on Wednesday as it approached the Mediterranean Sea, according to data from the MarineTraffic website. The carrier's location was visible for around two hours.

Also visible on the FlightRadar24 website on Wednesday were two C-2A Greyhound aircraft, which in recent months have been operating off the carrier. The aircraft transmitted their locations off the coast of Portugal, around 230 miles from the Ford's position.


The Ford is being accompanied by four destroyers as it sails east toward the Middle East.

Three of the destroyers are part of the Ford’s carrier strike group that have accompanied the carrier since it first deployed in June, the fourth destroyer had previously been a part of President Donald Trump's administration’s surge of military forces in the Caribbean, a U.S. official confirmed to ABC News.

Each of the destroyers is armed with air defense systems that can shoot down incoming missiles and drones, plus Tomahawk cruise missiles that can be used to strike targets up to 1,000 miles away.

F-35 stealth fighter jets are among the U.S. assets heading toward the Middle East, including some that had been deployed to Puerto Rico ahead of the U.S. operation to depose Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.


A spokesman for the Vermont National Guard confirmed to ABC News that the 158th Fighter Wing received a change in mission from U.S. Southern Command -- which oversees operations in the Caribbean, Central and South America -- but did not disclose their new deployment area.

In late January, online flight trackers noted a dozen F-35 fighters taking off from Roosevelt Roads Naval Station in Puerto Rico and landing on the Azores islands in the mid-Atlantic, on their way to the Middle East.


Key Iranian nuclear personnel and facilities were targeted by Israeli and American forces during an intense 12-day conflict in June. But the strikes failed to resolve long-standing U.S. and Israeli grievances related to Tehran's nuclear program, its ballistic missile arsenal and its support for regional proxy groups.


U.S. and Iranian representatives met in Geneva, Switzerland, this week for talks regarding a possible deal related to Tehran's nuclear program and its enrichment of uranium. Trump has demanded that Iran commit to "zero enrichment," a proposal rejected by Iranian officials.


U.S. officials briefed on the negotiations said Iran indicated a willingness to suspend its nuclear enrichment for a certain amount of time, anywhere from one to five years


The U.S. is also weighing lifting financial and banking sanctions and the embargo on its oil sales, according to a U.S. official.


Following the talks in Geneva, Iran is expected to submit a written proposal aimed at resolving the tensions, a senior U.S. official confirmed to reporters on Wednesday. It is unclear when the written proposal will be submitted to the U.S.


On Tuesday, a White House official said Iran would provide detailed proposals to address "some of the open gaps in our positions" in the next two weeks.

The US President reiterated on Thursday: "We may have to take it a step further [than Operation Midnight Hammer], or we may not."

"Maybe we are going to make a deal. You are going to be finding out over the next probably 10 days."

"Iran would have had a nuclear weapon based on everything we found out since within one month [if we didn't do Operation Midnight Hammer].
We can't let that happen."

"They cannot continue to threaten the stability of the entire region. They must make a deal. If it doesn’t happen, bad things will happen."

The opinion of many on the US carrier groups are that the modern warfare no longer required such a US approach. While it's general agreed that in the eventuality of war between Iran and US with allies, the fall of Iran will never be like that of Iraq or Libya in the face of Iranian missiles that humbled Israel in the 12daya war.

US freezes assets of eight Nigerians over Boko Haram, ISIL, cybercrime links

US freezes assets of eight Nigerians over Boko Haram, ISIL, cybercrime links

Trump 

The United States America which officially designated the Nigeria's islamists Terrorists Boko Haram a foreign terrorist organisation in 2013 has freezes assets of eight Nigerians over Boko Haram, ISIL, cybercrime links.

The US State Department claimed that the group has carried out numerous deadly attacks across northern and northeastern Nigeria, as well as the Lake Chad Basin, since 2009. 

US President Donald Trump announced in October 2025, for the second time that Nigeria would be added to the US Department of State’s list of “Countries of Particular Concern,” citing alleged religious freedom violations and Christian genocide. 

Nigeria was first designated in 2020 under Trump during his first term but was removed from the list by former President Joe Biden shortly after he assumed office.

There were claims that insecurity in Nigeria was founded in t President Barrak Obama in a desperate agenda to to remove President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 and put in place the pro terrorists regime of APC. There have never been any counter claims that APC imported and brought more Fulani Terrorists machineries from other West African countries into the country.


FULL LIST :

Sanctioned Nigerians (as named by OFAC):

Salih Yusuf Adamu (also known as Salihu Yusuf)

Babestan Oluwole Ademulero

Abu Abdullah ibn Umar Al-Barnawi

Abu Musab Al-Barnawi

Khaled Al-Barnawi

Ibrahim Ali Alhassan

Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Mainuki


 US frozen the assets of the above eight Nigerians linked to the Islamic sect Boko Haram and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

According to the detailed in a 3,000-page document released on February 10 by the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). 


The document also identifies individuals sanctioned for cybercrime and other security threats, following recent U.S. Congressional recommendations for visa bans and asset freezes on those accused of violating religious freedom and persecuting Christians in Nigeria. 

US lawmakers have recommended visa bans and asset freezes against the former Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, and Miyetti Allah Kautal, over alleged links to extremist activities.

 The recommendation was contained in a document released by the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) titled “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List.”

 The publication outlines individuals and entities whose assets have been frozen and serves as a reference tool for compliance with US sanctions regimes, particularly those related to counter-terrorism. 

According to Office of Foreign Assets Control, the move forms part of broader efforts to block the property and interests of designated individuals and prevent financial dealings with them. 

“This publication of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control is designed as a reference tool providing actual notice of actions by OFAC with respect to Specially Designated Nationals and other persons … whose property is blocked, to assist the public in complying with the various sanctions programmes administered by OFAC,” the agency said.


Among those listed is Salih Yusuf Adamu, also known as Salihu Yusuf, born August 23, 1990, in Nigeria. OFAC identified him as having ties to Boko Haram. Yusuf was among six Nigerians convicted in 2022 in the United Arab Emirates for setting up a Boko Haram cell to raise funds for insurgents in Nigeria. The group attempted to transfer $782,000 from Dubai to Nigeria.


Another individual, Babestan Oluwole Ademulero, born March 4, 1953, was designated under SDNTK sanctions and listed under multiple aliases, including Wole A. Babestan and Olatunde Irewole Shofeso.


Also sanctioned were Abu Abdullah ibn Umar Al-Barnawi (also known as Ba Idrisa), Abu Musab Al-Barnawi (Habib Yusuf), Khaled (Khalid) Al-Barnawi, Ibrahim Ali Alhassan, and Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Mainuki, all identified as having links to Boko Haram or ISIL. Several of the individuals were born in Maiduguri or other parts of Borno State and were sanctioned under terrorism-related executive orders.


Additionally, Nnamdi Orson Benson, born March 21, 1987, was listed under CYBER2 sanctions for cyber-related offences and was reported to hold a Nigerian passport.


The sanctions mean that all property and interests of the listed individuals within US jurisdiction are blocked, and US persons are prohibited from engaging in transactions with them. 

Hence, Nigerians named under the sanctions face asset freezes under Executive Order 13224.

Why American Donald Trump' Back down on Tehran: Classified report says USS Abraham Lincoln, carrying nuclear weapons, would not survive against Iran’s precision missiles

Why American Donald Trump' Back down on Tehran: Classified report says USS Abraham Lincoln, carrying nuclear weapons, would not survive against Iran’s precision missiles


A classified report obtained by Prime Trust revealed that the United States refrained from attacking Iran after learning that the USS Abraham Lincoln, carrying nuclear weapons, would not survive against Iran’s precision missiles.


The USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN Carrier Strike Group has been confirmed to have sailed due east, away from the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea and is currently holding position approximately 1100 km from Iran.

 

The report states that Iran currently possesses over 3,000 precision-guided missiles, along with a large number of Shaheed drones.


The main challenge that caused the U.S. to pull back was the high number of Fateh-110 missiles Iran currently has.

Other reports on Trump’s statements further indicate U.S. President Donald Trump’s caution regarding his threats to attack Iran, as he shifted back toward negotiations and the peace table, instead of relying on military force.


 The Trump administration has told Iran through multiple channels that it is open to meeting to negotiate a deal, promising it is serious negotiations and not a bluff. 


Multiple Arab countries are trying to arrange a meeting in Ankara between Steve Witkoff and Iranian officials. 


According to Israeli Chwmnel 11, "Trump wants to dismantle Iran's nuclear program, but Israel demands the dismantling of its missile capabilities."


Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei in a public event in Tehran said Americans must realize that if they ignite a war, this time it will not be a limited war, but a regional war.


- The Americans have been issuing threats in their statements in the past, saying that "all options are on the table," including the option of war.


- This man (Trump) keeps claiming that they have brought in aircraft carriers and other things, but the Iranian people should not be intimidated by such things; the Iranian people are not affected by these threats.


- We are not the ones who initiate things, and we do not want to attack any country, but the Iranian people will deliver a strong and decisive blow to anyone who attacks or harms them.

Saudi Arabia to Trump: Strike Iran or you will see Tehran grow stronger.

Saudi Arabia to Trump: Strike Iran or you will see Tehran grow stronger.


Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman made it clear in a statement during a special briefing session in Washington yesterday Friday.


Prince Khalid bin Salman told the audience, including heads of research centers and American officials, that if President Trump does not carry out his repeated threats to strike Iran, "that will only lead to emboldening the regime", and that Tehran will come out of it stronger. 


This represents a notable shift in the tone of the public Saudi position, which emphasized de-escalation, opposition to the broader war, and refused to allow the United States to use Saudi airspace or land to strike against Iran.

Escalation: Iran’s Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri Warns Trump to Move His Armada out of the Persian Gulf or Face Consequences:

Escalation: Iran’s Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri Warns Trump to Move His Armada out of the Persian Gulf or Face Consequences:

 


Iranian Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri has Warned the United States President Donald Trump to Move His Armada out of the Persian Gulf or Face Consequences.

According to him: “The Persian Gulf belongs to Iran and its neighbors. America must get out of our region — or face the consequences.”



According to a social media report by the Iran military, the conflict has officially escalated as reports confirm that one American fighter jet has been shot down. This development marks a serious turning point, raising fears of wider military confrontation and increased global tensions as the situation continues to unfold rapidly.It won't be a walk in the park for Trump forces


According to Muhammad Zavad Zarif, Donald Trump' wants to wage an illegitimate and unjust war against Iran. " And we have good reasons to defend ourselves."


And we will defend our Patriots until death. He said.

If Trump thinks he can carry out a quick operation and then tweet two hours later that it’s over, there is no such thing at all. Without a doubt, the war would include the entire region, from the Zionist regime to countries where the U.S. has bases.


If the enemy takes a foolish step, we will respond immediately, that is the directive given to us. In the past, it was necessary to conduct situation assessments, but now the instructions have already been issued in advance.


Plans have been formulated, and for every different scenario on the enemy’s side, we will have an appropriate and proportional response.


In the 12-day war, we learned that delay and giving the enemy an opportunity are absolutely unjustified, and an immediate response is required.


Aircraft carriers are very vulnerable to missiles.


In an another report, a retired U.S. military officer  was reported to have revealed that a U.S. aircraft carrier had to make a sudden, extreme maneuver to dodge a missile from Yemen, it is so intense that an F-18 fighter jet fell into the sea during the incident.


The F-18 fighter Jet fall from the carrier in to the sea and they have loose it.


This is the kind of situation the U.S. Navy is escape from Yemen.


Automatically this is defeat and end of their carrier if Iranian army launch their ICBMS on it. 


Definitely, IRAN will sink this carrier in an all out war.

The primary targets will be Israel and all US military bases across the Middle East region.


“A limited military strike is an illusion


Ali Shamkhani who is an Adviser to Imam Khamenei in the Defense Council said any military action by America, from any origin and at any level, is considered the beginning of a war, and its response will be immediate, comprehensive, and unprecedented, targeting the aggressor, the heart of Tel Aviv, and all supporters of the aggressor.”


Any military action on our part - from any source and at any level - will be considered the beginning of war, and our response will be immediate, comprehensive and unprecedented, targeting the heart of Tel Aviv and those who support the aggressor.


Iran’s mission to the United Nations just sent a strong warning to the United States.


In their warning issue, they reminded the U.S. of the cost of past military interventions, saying that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq drained US over $7 trillion and resulted in the deaths of more than 7,000 American troops.


At the same time, Iran says it is still open to talks...  but only on the basis of mutual respect and shared interests.


However, the Iranian gov. Emphasize that If IRAN  is pushed to the last corner, it will defend itself and respond in a way the U.S. has “NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE.”


Imminent war preceded by maneuvers: IRAN to Conduct Maritime Maneuvers with CHINA and RUSSIA in Coming Days to signal US and allies!!


Iranian Navy is planning to conduct joint military exercises with China and Russia in the Sea of Oman also known as the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean in the coming days.

The world holds its breath as Iran prepares to close the global oil lifeline amid unprecedented U.S. readiness.

Iran has warned ships at sea that it plans to conduct live-fire naval exercises in the Strait of Hormuz, potentially disrupting traffic through one of the world’s key oil routes.


According to a notice sent to mariners on Thursday, the “naval live-fire drills” are scheduled for Sunday and Monday. About 20% of global oil shipments pass through the strait, raising concerns about possible disruptions.

The warning comes as the United States conducts a multi-day air force exercise in The Middle West amid ongoing tensions with Iran.


The U.S. Central Command said the drills aim to demonstrate the ability to deploy and sustain air power across the region, a day after the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier arrived in The Middle West.


The Saudi defense minister had arrived the US together with the head of Israeli intelligence hoped to coordinate the attacks against Iran.


MBS recently called President Pezeshkian, and Saudi Arabia has conveyed messages from the Iranian leadership to the US. The militarization of the Strait of Hormuz has greatly alarmed the countries of the region.


The U.S. Secretary of War stated  that America is fully prepared to execute any decision the President makes regarding Iran.

 


Iranian Navy Commander Alireza Tangsiri has Warned the United States President Donald Trump to Move His Armada out of the Persian Gulf or Face Consequences.

According to him: “The Persian Gulf belongs to Iran and its neighbors. America must get out of our region — or face the consequences.”



According to a social media report by the Iran military, the conflict has officially escalated as reports confirm that one American fighter jet has been shot down. This development marks a serious turning point, raising fears of wider military confrontation and increased global tensions as the situation continues to unfold rapidly.It won't be a walk in the park for Trump forces


According to Muhammad Zavad Zarif, Donald Trump' wants to wage an illegitimate and unjust war against Iran. " And we have good reasons to defend ourselves."


And we will defend our Patriots until death. He said.

If Trump thinks he can carry out a quick operation and then tweet two hours later that it’s over, there is no such thing at all. Without a doubt, the war would include the entire region, from the Zionist regime to countries where the U.S. has bases.


If the enemy takes a foolish step, we will respond immediately, that is the directive given to us. In the past, it was necessary to conduct situation assessments, but now the instructions have already been issued in advance.


Plans have been formulated, and for every different scenario on the enemy’s side, we will have an appropriate and proportional response.


In the 12-day war, we learned that delay and giving the enemy an opportunity are absolutely unjustified, and an immediate response is required.


Aircraft carriers are very vulnerable to missiles.


In an another report, a retired U.S. military officer  was reported to have revealed that a U.S. aircraft carrier had to make a sudden, extreme maneuver to dodge a missile from Yemen, it is so intense that an F-18 fighter jet fell into the sea during the incident.


The F-18 fighter Jet fall from the carrier in to the sea and they have loose it.


This is the kind of situation the U.S. Navy is escape from Yemen.


Automatically this is defeat and end of their carrier if Iranian army launch their ICBMS on it. 


Definitely, IRAN will sink this carrier in an all out war.

The primary targets will be Israel and all US military bases across the Middle East region.

NIGERIA'S ARMY CHIEF CHARGES TROOPS IN SOKOTO TO MAINTAIN OPERATIONAL MOMENTUM, DECISIVELY CRUSH BANDITS, TERRORISTS

NIGERIA'S ARMY CHIEF CHARGES TROOPS IN SOKOTO TO MAINTAIN OPERATIONAL MOMENTUM, DECISIVELY CRUSH BANDITS, TERRORISTS

 


The Nigeria's Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, has charged troops of 8 Division Sokoto and Joint Task Force, Operation FANSAN YAMMA, to sustain the current operational tempo and decisively eliminate bandits and terrorists operating within the 8 Division Area of Responsibility.


General Shaibu gave the charge on 27 December 2025, while addressing troops of 248 Reconnaissance Battalion, Illela, Sokoto State, during an operational visit to Formations and Units under the 8 Division Area of Responsibility.


According to the Acting Director Army Public Relations  Colonel Appolonia Anele, the COAS commended the troops for their gallantry, professionalism and resilience in confronting criminal elements whose activities have brought untold hardship to innocent Nigerians. He lauded their operational successes, noting that their sustained efforts have significantly improved security within the Area of Responsibility.


“I commend you for your courage, professionalism and the operational successes recorded so far. Your sacrifices have translated into improved security in your Area of Responsibility. You must maintain the momentum to further annihilate and send the terrorists to their maker who is to decide what to do with them. We can no longer tolerate their excesses against the Nigerian people” the COAS stated.


The Army Chief further reassured the troops of his unwavering commitment to their welfare. He directed the construction of additional accommodation, medical and other essential facilities at Illela Barracks to enhance the morale, well-being and operational effectiveness of troops and their families.


On the late night of Christmas day, United States President Donald Trump ordered precision missile strikes against the ISIS linked Terrorists hideout in Sokoto State. Nigerian government also claimed having the full knowledge of it and that the mission was successful.


Until Trump's rhetorics, the APC led pro Terrorists government have remained unconcerned about the callous activities of the Terrorists against the innocent citizens. Children and students are being kidnapped at will where government officials are negotiating with them. Many of these criminals were reportedly brought into the CV country by the APC leadership in their myopic determination to capture the government in 2015.

American Strikes On Terrorists: Tambuwal Commends Professionalism, Urges Communities To Remain Calm, Law Abiding

American Strikes On Terrorists: Tambuwal Commends Professionalism, Urges Communities To Remain Calm, Law Abiding


Former Governor of Sokoto State and the Senator Representing the Sokoto South Senatorial district Aminu Tambuwal has called on the citizens in Sokoto State to be peaceful and law abiding as the United States in partnership with the Nigerian Federal Government strikes the Terrorists hideout in Sokoto State.


Former Speaker of the Federal House Of Representatives said: 'I have noted the reports concerning an airstrike carried out as part of ongoing counterterrorism efforts through cooperation between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the United States. I urge our communities to remain calm and law abiding as relevant authorities clarify the circumstances surrounding the operation.'


"I wish to assure the people of Sokoto South that I am in active talks with relevant security authorities to obtain full details and ensure that all necessary safeguards are upheld."


"It is important to reassure the public that counterterrorism operations are targeted at criminal and terrorist elements who threaten our collective safety, and not at innocent civilians who are themselves victims of insecurity. The protection of civilian lives remains paramount and remains central to all legitimate security operations."


Tambuwal 

"I commend the courage and professionalism of our military and security forces, who continue to work tirelessly, often in collaboration with international partners, to confront terrorism and banditry under extremely challenging conditions. Their sacrifice and commitment to restoring peace and stability deserve our full support and cooperation.


"I also call on community leaders, traditional institutions, and residents to continue working closely with security agencies by sharing credible information and resisting misinformation that could heighten fear or tension.


"Together, through unity, vigilance, and support for lawful security efforts, we will overcome the forces of terror and secure lasting peace for Sokoto State and Nigeria at large. -AWTI have noted the reports concerning an airstrike carried out as part of ongoing counterterrorism efforts through cooperation between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the United States.

United States President Donald Trump was true to his promises to lunch attacks against the Boko Haram/ISWAP/Herdsmen terrorists that have killed thousands of innocent and harmless citizens, displaced millions with thousands in IDP camps.

The country's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC some of the retired Generals. Under the APC pro terrorists regime between 2015 till date, billions of US dollars have been wasted without results while Terrorists are operating freely without any security restrictions.
