US confirms deployment of small team of troops to Nigeria — reports

US confirms deployment of small team of troops to Nigeria — reports


The United States has sent a small group of soldiers to Nigeria, the first confirmed ground presence since December airstrikes, Reuters reported.

 
U.S. Africa Command’s Gen. Dagvin Anderson said the move came after recent talks in Rome with Nigerian President Bola Tinubu.

APC led federal government was voted in 2015 to primarily end insurgence, create jobs and improve the economy.  However, under the APC leadership, insecurity knows no bounds, multiple Terrorists group emanated as the government was less concerned about the protection of lives and properties of the citizens.

Insecurity has since becomes a multi dimensional business for the political and military elites. Billions of dollars have been allocated to fight the menace of terrorism. 

The Nigeria's government has not addressed the country on the cost implications of the American intervention. 

However, US President Donald Trump's intervention and bombing of the islamists Terrorists in Sokoto in the Christmas Eve was a relief to many Nigerians. 

This deployment of the US troops marks the first confirmed U.S. boots on the ground in Nigeria and a significant escalation of American military involvement in the Nigeria's fight against the terrorists ravaging the the country.

The public deserves clarity on scope, mission, and legal authority.

Iran Announces Maximum Security Measures, Says Nuclear weapons Not Needed To Defend the Islamic Republic

Iran Announces Maximum Security Measures, Says Nuclear weapons Not Needed To Defend the Islamic Republic


Tehran authorities have announced maximum alert measures, including plans to use underground parking areas and metro stations as shelters.

Reports also say senior officials are relocating to protected facilities, while the military continues to expand its drone capabilities for surveillance, defense, and electronic warfare.

Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization chief Mohammad Eslami says, There is no place for nuclear weapons in our military doctrine. Iran maintains its defense capabilities without the need for nuclear arms.


Preparing for a possible US attacks, the head of Tehran’s Crisis Management Authority stated that 82 metro stations in the capital have been designated as shelters and are currently being equipped with basic living supplies.


While 300 parking facilities at commercial and administrative centers have been designated as shelters, with capacity to accommodate up to 2.5 million people.


US President Donald Trump says talks with Iran are ongoing, but the Gulf countries cannot be informed about them.


Meanwhile, reports by Axios  quoting senior Iranian officials saying that progress has been made toward launching negotiations with the United States.


Egypt, Russia, Turkey, and Qatar are supporting the talks in an effort to prevent a full-scale war in the Middle East.


Satellite images in the last 12hours show the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln departing the Sea of Oman and heading back toward the Indian Ocean, according to Sentinel-2 data. The U.S. aircraft carrier withdraws from the Gulf of Oman and repositions in the Arabian Sea.


The Prime Minister of Qatar conducted an urgent 2-hour visit to Iran, reportedly to deliver a message on behalf of the United States.


During the visit, he met with President Pezeshkian and Araghchi, signaling high-level diplomatic engagement amid ongoing regional tensions.


A U.S military analyst has warned that Tehran has the ability to cause serious damage to Israel and U.S. military bases, according to reports!


Scott Ritter, a  former UN weapons inspector and former U.S. officer said Iran is clearly a major power in the region. Iran has the ability to shut down the region’s energy production whenever it wants. 

Iran can cause devastating damage to U.S. military bases, which could result in the deaths of hundreds or even thousands of American soldiers.


 And Iran could carry out decisive attacks on Israel that would weaken its ability to survive and make the land unlivable for millions of its residents.” 

This is reality against the western media propaganda os the United States and Israel. For instance ,Israel's claim that its aerial defense systems are top-notch and would bring down all of Iran's missiles. The narrative was widely accepted until the 12-day Israeli -Iranian war when Tehran surprised everyone, including the US. 


Iran's missiles hit many Israeli infrastructure targets until Israel couldn't keep up with the pressure, but had to propose for an urgent ceasefire.


As part of their image sanitization, Israel launched a campaign trying to push a narrative about how it won the war.  A few months later, among the US/Israel proposals in the new Iranian deal, they are currently pushing the issue of ballistic missiles. 


They want Iran's missiles to have a range limited to 500 kilometers.  This is telling, given that the 12-day war exposed Israel's limits and weaknesses. 


If Iranian missiles were as ineffective as the Western media portrays, why are Israel and the US pushing such proposals? 


As regards the ongoing negotiations as announced by Donald Trump, Iranian Foreign Ministry wants US to lift economic sanctions from Iran until new agreement is reached based on Iran’s peaceful nuclear program. 


Tehran has insisted that Iran will never backdown from achieving nuclear energy goals and continues its nuclear use into Medical, Electricity, Naval submarines and Space Explorations.

US President Donald Trump says Iran is in contact with the US but warns diplomacy may fail

US President Donald Trump says Iran is in contact with the US but warns diplomacy may fail


 The American President Donald Trump has said Iran is in contact with the United States but warns diplomacy may fail. He told the Fox News.


Key lines from Trump on Fox News:

• “Iran is talking to us. We’ll see if we can do something.”
• “Last time, negotiations didn’t work.”
• “We can’t tell our Gulf allies the plan.”
• “Telling them could be worse than telling the press.”

 Message: talks may be happening, but nothing is promised and plans stay classified.


Already Terhan is conducting live fire naval drilling with Chinese and Russian navies in the straight of Hormuz.

Iran warned that any attack from US will only set the entire middle east on fire. Iran on Saturday launched live-fire naval drills in the Strait of Hormuz near U.S. warships, sharply escalating tensions in the strategic Arabian Gulf waterway.


 The two-day exercises come amid rising confrontations between Tehran and Washington, with U.S. Central Command warning Iran against unsafe maneuvers that could endanger international shipping or American forces. Global markets and diplomatic capitals are on alert as the world watches the delicate balance in this crucial oil transit corridor.


On negotiations, Iran's authorities said the Islamic Republic is ready for fair and equitable negotiations with the United States not to be dictated to. No talks have been formally arranged yet.

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.

War Against Terrorism: US Military Considering Plans For Potential Strikes in Nigeria, 3 options on the table

War Against Terrorism: US Military Considering Plans For Potential Strikes in Nigeria, 3 options on the table


The United States military has reportedly drafted contingency plans for possible military action in Nigeria following an order from President Donald Trump to "prepare to intervene" and protect Christians from attacks by Islamic militants. 


The plans, according to a source was submitted by US Africa Command (AFRICOM) to the Department of War include three options.

The first option is a 'Heavy Option'  Wich will involve deploying an aircraft carrier strike group to the Gulf of Guinea and launching fighter jets or long-range bombers to hit militant targets deep inside northern Nigeria.


The second option is termed 'Medium Option'. This option will employ targeted drone strikes using MQ-9 Reaper and MQ-1 Predator drones against known militant camps, convoys, and vehicles.


While the third option  called 'Light Option' will operate on providing and  Supporting Nigerian forces through intelligence sharing and logistics which will also activate joint operations against Boko Haram and other Islamist groups in the country.


Meanwhile, top military officials admit that limited airstrikes or drone operations may not end Nigeria's decades-long insurgency, and a full-scale campaign similar to Iraq or Afghanistan is unlikely. The Nigerian government has expressed concerns about US interference, emphasizing respect for Nigeria's sovereignty and territorial integrity.


Nigerians have been suffering hells in the hands of different militias and Islamic terrorists groups since the Boko Haram onslaught that started in Borno State in 2009. ISWAP, bandits, herdsmen and many other armed groups have exterminated many innocent lives. APC government was enthroned in 2015 on the background of promises to end insecurity, end hunger and creation of million jobs per annum.

 

Both the incumbent Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his predecessor Major General Muhammadu Buhari have failed to genuinely fight the insurgency as government officials and military officers involved in proxy negotiations with the Terrorists.

Amnesty was reportedly offered to many of the so called repentant terrorists. The military becomes more ineffective as many of them too were reported to have been absolved into the military while the Victims of terrorism were never cared for and the displaced remained in various IDPs. The genocide and displacement are also aimed at taken over of the conquered areas by the bandits, Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen. Certainly there are enablers in APC led federal government as well as security apparatus of the Nigerian State. 


Non Muslim communities have been the primary targets. Hence the claims of genocide against Christians in Nigeria.
