Iranian Drone Successfully Completed Mission— FARS
‘Monitoring ALL military movements near Iran’
Contrary to the US forces claims that they SHOOT DOWN an Iranian drone, the Iranian regime media source has reported that the Iranian Drone completed it's missions in monitoring military movement near Iran's territories.
According to Reuters, Iranian drone approaching aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in Arabian Sea’ was shot down by the US Navy.
The President of United States remains committed to diplomacy first — but diplomacy takes two to tango.”
According to U.S. officials cited by Axios, Israel is pressuring the United States to launch an attack on Iran, but Donald Trump is reluctant to go to war.
US Officials say no one has succeeded in convincing Trump to authorize a strike. Initially, Trump supported airstrikes during mass protests in Iran, but he now views military intervention as a mistake.
American leader also reportedly sees the release of the Epstein files as a way to counter Israeli pressure.
According to an AFP report, the United States is still planning talks with Iranian officials this week, the White House said Tuesday, even after a US warplane shot down an Iranian drone that approached an American aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea.
"I just spoke with special envoy (Steve) Witkoff, and these talks as of right now are still scheduled," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters, adding that they were due to happen "later this week."
"President Trump is always wanting to pursue diplomacy first, but obviously it takes two to tango," Leavitt said outside the West Wing.
The meeting between Witkoff, a businessman whom Trump has appointed as his roving global conflict negotiator, and Iranian officials will "probably" take place in Turkey, a source close to the issue told AFP.
The US military said earlier that an F-35C stealth fighter jet shot down the Iranian drone that "aggressively" drew near to the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier on Tuesday.
Trump's spokeswoman added that the US president was keeping open the possibility of military action against Iran, with a large number of US warships now in the region.
"Of course, the president has always a range of options on the table, and that includes the use of military force," Leavitt told Fox News in a separate interview.
She added that "the Iranians know that better than anyone," referring to US military strikes that hit Iran's nuclear program last year.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei thanked all "friendly countries that, out of concern and goodwill, have worked to help create the conditions for a diplomatic process."
“In principle, the venue and timing of talks are not complicated issues and should not be used as a pretext for media games," Baghaei said.
"Turkey and Oman, as well as some other countries in the region, have declared their readiness to host the talks, which we consider highly valuable."
"Consultations to determine the venue are also ongoing, and information will be announced as soon as a final decision is made," he added.

Has US War Plans on Iran Hit a Wall?
American President Donald Trump has options, but not the one he wants. According to U.S. officials cited by the Wall Street Journal, the Pentagon can launch immediate, limited strikes on Iran, yet lacks readiness for a full scale, decisive assault. No attack is expected anytime soon.
A major operation would demand far stronger air defenses to shield Israel and U.S. assets. Anticipating massive Iranian ballistic missile retaliation, the U.S. is now rushing Patriot and THAAD systems into position across the Middle East.
Meanwhile, Israeli security officials are warning the United States against moving toward what they describe as a bad deal with Iran, cautioning that Tehran is attempting to mislead Washington through tactical concessions. The warning comes amid quiet diplomatic contacts and growing concern in Jerusalem that pressure on the Iranian regime could be eased.
Behind the scenes, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir made a rapid visit to Washington over the weekend, meeting senior U.S. military officials and presenting Israeli intelligence on Iran’s efforts to rebuild its ballistic missile program. Israeli defense officials say Iran may show limited flexibility on the nuclear file, but will not compromise on missiles or its regional proxy network.
Israel has set three conditions for any acceptable agreement:
No nuclear program
No ballistic missiles
No support for regional proxies
While U.S. forces continue deploying additional assets to the Middle East. Israeli officials stress that while military pressure is rising, any attempt to overthrow the Iranian regime would require a force far larger than what is currently deployed.
Has US War Plans on Iran Hit a Wall?
Iranian leaders have also affirmed that United States President Donald Trump is only using negotiations to buy more time for military build up in the military against Iran.
Other reports say Israel is preparing to strike Iran without U.S. involvement. Tonight, the army will conduct home-front drills, and the public will be notified.
Prime Minister Netanyahu held a high-level security meeting with top military and intelligence officials after the Chief of Staff returned from U.S. talks.
TelAviv is putting heavy pressure on Washington to block any deal and launch an attack on Iran.

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.

Iran now considers all European Union militaries as terrorists

| Iran's ballistic missile |
Tehran now considers all European Union militaries to be terrorist groups, the speaker of its parliament says, days after the EU declared Iran’s Revolutionary Guard to be a terrorist group.
Iran's speaker of parliament Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf has said that the Islamic Republic now considers all European Union militaries to be terrorist groups.
The comment by Speaker follows an EU agreement last week to list Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group over its part in the bloody crackdown on nationwide protests in the country.
Qalibaf cited a 2019 law as authorization for the announcement. That law was passed after the U.S. listed the Guard as a terrorist group and allows for reciprocal action by Iran against any nations that follow that decision.
Qalibaf made the announcement as he and others wore Guard uniforms in parliament. Qalibaf was a commander in the Guard.

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.

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.

US Congressman Riley Moore Calls for MILITARY ACTION as ISWAP Declares Christians “Legitimate Targets” in Nigeria
US Congressman Riley Moore Calls for MILITARY ACTION as ISWAP Declares Christians “Legitimate Targets” in Nigeria
 |
| Moore |
U.S. Congressman Riley Moore has called for increased American military support in Nigeria after the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) explicitly declared Christians “legitimate targets.”
The ISIS linked ISWAP released an image of one of the Christian villages in Adamawa State burning, alongside a statement saying that all Christians in Nigeria are legitimate targets, and they have an opportunity to "spare their blood" by converting to Islam or paying the jizyah tax to ISWAP.
Moore said that if there were any remaining doubts about the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, this latest development “should end that debate,” insisting the violence is driven by religion rather than disputes over land or climate policy.
He accused ISWAP of seeking to force conversions and praised ongoing cooperation between the United States and the Nigerian government to counter extremist attacks.
ISWAP has escalated attacks in northeastern Nigeria, burning villages, destroying churches and homes, and issuing statements that residents could “spare their blood” only by converting to Islam or paying the protection tax, jizyah. Reports indicate at least one village suffered significant loss of life, including over 100 homes destroyed.
Moore highlighted recent U.S.-backed airstrikes on ISIS-linked camps as part of efforts to protect civilians and degrade extremist operations, emphasizing continued cooperation between U.S. and Nigerian forces

Genocide In Nigeria: U.S. Will Cut All Taxpayer Funding To Nigeria Says President Trump
The President of the United State Donald Trump had said the country will cut off all taxpayers funding for a Terrorists enabling government of Nigeria where Christian Genocide is currently ongoing.
Nigeria government has done nothing to stop the killings by Boko Haram, ISWAP, bandits, Fulani herdsmen and kidnappers. Thousands have been killed in the country. In Plateau, Borno, Kaduna, Zamfara, Nasarawa, Kastina, Yobe, Benue states. Attacks of the Terrorists have escalated even into southern party in Ondo State where Christians where massacred in a church in Owo. In Igangan, Oyo State where a whole town was ransacked by the armed bandits and Fulani herdsmen.
Kwara State is currently be raiding by the Terrorists. Nigeria's government have totally looked other ways since APC pro Terrorists Regime took over since 2015 till date.
Trump said: “Nigeria’s a disgrace… they’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m REALLY angry about it!” He says the Nigerian government has done nothing to stop the slaughter:
“They are very ineffective. They’re killing Christians AT WILL.”
And the money pipeline? “We pay a lot of subsidy to Nigeria. We’re going to stop. Not a dime until the killing ends.”
Trump also says the crisis was being ignored until he stepped in two weeks ago: “Until I got involved, nobody even talked about it.”
HUGE move — and a massive warning shot to Nigeria’s leadership.
The killings and kidnapping were primarily targeting Christians.

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.

CPC: How Tinubu Landed Nigeria In Trump's Bad Book - SKC Ogbonnia
U.S. President Donald J. Trump has threatened military action against Nigeria over an alleged Christian genocide in the African country. This followed his designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC). Instead of exploring meaningful solutions, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is busy playing politics with a situation he helped to inflame.
The perception of Christian genocide under the various regimes of the All Progressive Congress (APC) is not new. The campaign for global attention began when President Muhammadu Buhari appeared to be indifferent to the problem. It quickly took a deep root because of Buhari’s background–a military dictator of obstinate religious bigotry.
Various Nigerian clergymen and Christian groups alerted the global community of the alleged genocide during the Buhari democratic regime. Ordinary citizens were not left behind. The loudest echo chambers of the campaign were prominent image makers of President Tinubu in Reno Omokri and Femi Fani-Kayode. The duo traveled far and wide, using every social media platform to sensationalize the hostility. They in turn derided the Buhari regime as well as the APC as harboring a dangerous Islamic hidden agenda. In one instance, Omokri labeled the ruling party as “anti-Christ.” That quickly stuck!
More importantly, the voices of innocent Nigerians in America, most of whom are Christians, and most of whom decried the pattern of the injustice in their homeland, reluctantly aligned and validated the persecution claim. The U.S.Department of State finally acted by designating Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern for the first time in December 2020.
After a critical review, Trump’s successor, President Joseph Biden lifted the CPC designation in 2021, amid a torrent of criticisms from both the United States and Nigeria. But America remained on the alert, eagerly waiting for an alarm for any iota of further violations.
Enter Tinubu and the second coming of Trump. The emergence of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as Nigeria’s president worsened matters and is squarely responsible for why Africa's most populous country is not only designated as a CPC again but also heightened the threat for military action by the United States of America.
Let us begin with Tinubu’s background. Everything about the Nigerian president is everything the Americans resent in foreign leaders. Too many controversies–from his identity, drug trafficking, academic records, and source of his huge wealth. This baggage does not evince trust, especially for a man leading a party heavily lampooned as “anti-Christ.” The totality of this background accounts for why Trump has continued to distance himself from Tinubu.
The next pointer is Muslim-Muslim Presidential Ticket: Upon winning the nomination of his party, Tinubu shocked the world by electing to nominate a vice-president who shares the same Muslim faith with him. What fuels the ire of the Americans is that, despite leading a political party that is alleged to have a vicious Muslim agenda, Tinubu blatantly broke from the prevailing convention that had created a sense of religious tolerance in the country.
Very alarming is that it did not take long before Nigerians started observing probable signs of Christian genocide in the country under Tinubu. Incidents and statistics abound. But a wake-up call was the first Christmas period after Tinubu took office in 2023 which witnessed a series of coordinated attacks in Plateau State. The suspects were Muslim militants who killed at least 300 people who happened to be Christians, wounded about 300, and displaced over 30,000 residents across 21 villages. The following Easter period in 2024 showed a similar pattern with major attacks documented in Plateau and Benue States.
A comprehensive report from Open Doors International, a watchdog for Christian genocide around the world, analysed the issue of religious extremism from 2023 to 2025 and suggests that Nigeria remains one of the most unsafe places in the world for Christians. Another report by the World Watch List 2025 indicated that Nigeria accounted for a majority of Christian deaths in the world from a period covering October 2023 to September 2024, noting that 3,100 of the 4,476 global Christian deaths (about 70%) took place in that African country. Even this June 2025, Pope Leo XIV condemned an “unceasingly” attack on Christians in Nigeria.
The incidents and reports above are just to name a few and took place under Tinubu’s watch. But, like Buhari, he chose to do nothing, thinking that it was business as usual. The apparent stoic silence sent a wrong signal, suggesting acquiescence to the quandary.
Commonly ignored but very consequential is that, even if genocide against the Christians is in contention, the persecution of the people of Southeast Nigeria under Tinubu is profoundly evident. This zone, by the way, represents a majority of Igbo people and also the highest concentration of Christian population in the country. Of course, the history of ill-treatment towards the Igbo is a common knowledge and did not start under Bola Ahmed Tinubu, but it has heightened since he assumed office.
Some have argued that the Christians might have not been specifically targeted, which is arguably fair. Yet, the simple truth is that a majority of the population in the areas so cited are of the Christian faith. Moreover, while there are many incidents of mass killings of Christians by Jihadist extremists who hide under the name of Islam to perpetrate heinous crimes, one can hardly point to a case where Christians are slaughtering Muslims in Nigeria to propagate Christianity. Further, coordinated violence against the Muslims, if any, either by default or by design has not been pushed to receive the degree of global attention as the Christian victims. Either way, the acts of genocide in Nigeria–whether targeted or not– are indisputable and it remains the responsibility of the state to decimate the perpetrators.
Many have offered different opinions on how to get around the CPC palaver. The most laughable, however, is Tinubu's plan to jet to Washington and meet with Trump’s deputy, JD Vance in an attempt to reject the CPC label. But such a trip is a mere propaganda envisaged to satiate the thirsty sentiment of being seen as a statesman in the iconic U.S. White House. The solution is at home. And the Nigerian medium for diplomacy has grown beyond the analog assemblage of the Aso Rock think thank!
The point, if it is not already manifest, is that the days are gone when the Nigerian Government can preach justice abroad, while promoting injustice at home. The inconvenient truth is that Nigeria now boasts of hundreds of thousands of independent ambassadors, strategically entrenched in all the nooks and crannies of the world. Nigerians in America on their part maintain a strong presence in both the American private and public sectors, including the CIA, FBI, the Congress, the White House, Judiciary, and the American Armed Forces.
These Nigerian Americans are also entrenched in the U.S. political stream and accordingly have the ears of the American leaders, including President Trump. Interestingly, a vast majority of them are Christians who hail from different tribes of Nigeria and have emerged as the Biblical Josephs of sorts. Not surprisingly, as they go, so goes the national image and much more. And Donald Trump is keenly aware that their reluctance to relocate back to Nigeria after gaining good education is not because of lack of love for their native country but because of bad governance in their homeland. He is aware that a good chunk of the funds budgeted for anti-Islamic terrorism in Nigeria, including financial assistance by the United States, is stolen by public officials.
The fact of the matter is that the United States of America knows Tinubu more than he knows himself. Therefore, instead of the mundane attempts to teleguide America with daily doses of falsehoods, President Tinubu should focus on confronting the problems head-on. We need results, no more excuses!!

U.S. Military Invasion Reports: Neighbouring Country Chad Closes Border With Nigeria Over Security Concerns
U.S. Military Invasion Reports: Neighbouring Country Chad Closes Border With Nigeria Over Security Concerns
Chad has announced the immediate closure of its border with Nigeria, citing security concerns following reports of alleged U.S. military plans in Nigeria.
Report stated that the directive was issued by Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno, who ordered a complete military lockdown along the Nigerian border after intelligence suggested that terr+rist elements from northern Nigeria were preparing to flee into Chadian territory.
According to report, Military sources in N’Djamena confirmed that the Chadian army has been placed on full alert, with troops and armoured vehicles deployed across key border corridors linking the two countries.
President Déby was quoted as saying that “no armed group or foreign force will be allowed to enter Chadian soil under any disguise.”
The move comes amid heightened regional tension and growing speculation over America’s alleged military activities in parts of West Africa.
Security analysts, said the closure was a preventive measure aimed at safeguarding Chadian sovereignty and preventing possible infiltration by armed groups exploiting regional instability.
Why Nigerian authorities must do more in their fight against terrorists, bandits and kidnappers, it should be noted that America and NATO allies trained most of the terrorists troubling the region and provided them with weapons. Certainly, US is looking for a country rich in oil reserves to occupy in the name of whatever operation, if Venezuela isn't visible for a military occupations, Nigeria should.
Nigeria government may actually lack the support of the majority of the citizens if US should attack going by the style of APC administration policies since 2015 that has been anti people, insecurity, herdsmen, banditry and kidnapping for ransoms in one hand and lack of free, fair and credible elections and modulation and destruction of opposition political parties as the country on the verge of one party system on the other hand as people's hope of getting out of bad economy maybe that the APC government come to an end by any means necessary.
The desires of many Nigerians is for the leadership of Bola Ahmed Tinubu led APC federal government to made public, the financials and sponsors of terrorism in Nigeria, made them to face justice. Such Sharia law the justified the killings of Deborah Yakubu in Sokoto State and declared the killers acquainted is questionable must be reviewed.
Condemning US president Donald Trump for the American planned intervention maybe very good and sound patriotic but it doesn't answer one major question everyone is avoiding.
The Nigerian army that fought for just two and a half years to defeat Biafra in a war that did not end until every last centre metre of the Soutb East was reclaimed back in Nigerian hands. So why has the same strong sub regional army tamely surrendered an area four times the size of Biafra to insurgents in the last 15 years. How can you oppose foreign intervention on the grounds of sovereignty in land you have surrendered the same sovereignty for more than a decade..?

President of Nepal, Ministers, Other Politicians Fled the Country as the Protesting Youths are on deadly Rampage
President of Nepal, Ministers, Other Politicians Fled the Country as the Protesting Youths are on deadly Rampage
The entire leadership of the Nepal including the President, cabinet Ministers and other Politicians have Fled the country after Massive protests by the Youths .
The youths complained about Politicians’s kids schooling abroad and living lavishly while they suffer back home and the government ignored . They complained about corruption and they ignored . T hey said they can’t keep suffering while Politicians’kids enjoy outside of the country while they pay tax.
After an endless ranting on the social media, the Nepal's government wants to shut them up by banning social media in the country. That was the genesis of the ongoing protests in the country.
Similar to the case of Nigerians, people are suffering and life is getting difficult for the common citizens but the Tinubu lead APC government is not doing anything to easy the suffering of the more than majority. The purchasing power of the people has been drastically reduced as Naira is worthless.
The Opposition political parties have been intentionally crippled and crumbled. Insecurities are on the rise.
Should Nepal's Youths actions motivate Nigeria Youths to rise and challenge this bad governance or keep on praying without action?
What do you think?

Similar to the case of Nigerians, people are suffering and life is getting difficult for the common citizens but the Tinubu lead APC government is not doing anything to easy the suffering of the more than majority. The purchasing power of the people has been drastically reduced as Naira is worthless.
