To terrorists supporters here, war is about launching missiles at civilian residences.

With Israel's war strategy and weaponry, Iran stands absolutely no chance against Israel. They do not understand what it means for a country to consistently dominate the space of another.

They do not understand what it means to have the capability and capacity to launch ballistic missiles from jets.

If Israel had been launching missiles indiscriminately at iran as iran does, it would have been catastrophic for Iran.

Israel is busy crippling Iran, while terrorists supporters here are busy jumping up amd and down over civilian residences hits by few Iranian missiles and fragments from intersections.

Meanwhile, Israel is still pounding Hezbollah heavily in Lebanon.

Foreign AffairsIran Alleges Israel Used Air-launched Ballistic Missiles In Overnight Attack by Elusive001(op): 3:19pm On Jun 08
Iran alleges Israel used air-launched ballistic missiles in overnight attack

Tehran says the weapons were fired from aircraft, a capability reportedly held by only a handful of militaries; experts say their speed and launch flexibility make them harder for dense air defense systems to detect and intercept
ynet | published:14:20

Iran claimed that the Israeli strike overnight between Sunday and Monday was carried out using ballistic missiles that can be launched from aircraft, a capability reportedly held by only a handful of militaries.

Israel has never admitted to using such missiles, but according to past foreign reports it possesses more than one type of air-launched ballistic missile. These include “Anchor” developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, originally designed as a target missile to simulate surface-to-surface missiles and used in several tests of the “Arrow” system; “Rampage” produced by Elbit Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries; and “Rocks” developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, which is reportedly based on “Anchor”.

Unlike cruise missiles, ballistic missiles are considered a more difficult target for dense air defense systems. Cruise missiles are slower, although they can change trajectory. Ballistic missiles are typically launched from known locations and generally follow a fixed, non-adjustable flight path. Fast and precise ballistic missiles launched from aircraft, unlike ground-launched ones, can overcome these challenges or at least complicate detection of the launch point.

It was previously reported that the “Rampage” missile can be launched from a fighter jet at a distance of about 150 kilometers, making it harder for enemy detection and interception systems. “The main advantage of an [air-launched ballistic missiles] over an [air-launched cruise missiles] is speed to penetrate defenses,” Jeffrey Lewis, director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program at the James Martin Centre for Nonproliferation Studies at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in California, told Reuters in November 2024. “The downside — accuracy — looks to have been largely solved.”

As part of Operation Summit of Fire about a year ago, it was claimed that Israel used these missiles in an attack on a facility hosting Hamas leadership meetings in Qatar while they were discussing a hostage deal. The The Wall Street Journal reported at the time that the strike was carried out by 12 Israeli Air Force aircraft, eight F-15s and four F-35s, which launched ballistic missiles into space over Saudi Arabia, hitting a villa in Doha.

Unique in their kind
Ground-launched ballistic missiles are widely used by many militaries around the world and also by militant groups such as the Houthis in Yemen. The same is true for cruise missiles. However, air-launched ballistic missiles are unique and according to past reports are held by only a few countries, including Russia, China and Israel.

Air-launched ballistic missiles are carried by aircraft, allowing them to be fired from different points. “They can come from any direction and make defense against them more difficult,” said engineer Uzi Rubin, a former head of Israel’s Missile Defense Organization.

The United States has previously tested such a hypersonic ballistic missile, the AGM-183 ARRW, but the project was defunded last year and effectively canceled. Because the U.S. already maintains a large arsenal of cruise missiles and other long-range weapons, Washington has shown limited interest in developing air-launched ballistic missiles. A U.S. Air Force official previously told Reuters that these missiles are not used in Air Force operations.

A senior defense industry official told Reuters that because air-launched ballistic missiles combine guidance systems, warheads and rocket engines, many countries with precision weapons capability can develop them. “It is a smart way to combine components and technologies and turn them into a new weapon that gives far greater capabilities and therefore more options at a reasonable cost,” the official said.

The Pentagon leak
About two years ago, before the escalation of hostilities with Iran, leaked U.S. The Pentagon documents reportedly mentioned that Israel had “worked on” air-launched ballistic missiles, including “Golden Horizon,” previously unreported inside or outside Israel, and “Rocks” developed by Rafael.

“Rocks” was unveiled by Rafael in 2019 and, according to reports, is based on the “Anchor” missile. The air-to-surface missile is described on Rafael’s website as being launched from significant stand-off ranges, well outside the coverage of enemy air defense systems, and traveling at supersonic speeds toward its target.

According to the company’s website, this reduces the exposure of the launching aircraft to enemy threats and improves the chances of a successful strike. It can be used against high-value targets, stationary or moving, even in environments where the enemy employs countermeasures and electronic warfare.

“Rocks,” according to Rafael, has been “proven in combat,” which may indicate operational use. The company also states the missile can destroy targets both above ground and underground.

Israel targets Iran’s industrial backbone, not just missiles

Analysis: Strike on Karoon petrochemical plant in Mahshahr signals a broader strategy: targeting the industrial, energy and financial lifelines that sustain Iran’s missile program and regime power
Amir Avivi | published:11:33

Not every strike is measured by the number of buildings destroyed or the number of missiles eliminated. Some strikes are intended to hit the very heart of the enemy’s power structure — the sources of money, energy and production that enable it to continue functioning. The strike on the Karoon Petrochemical plant over the past 24 hours is precisely such an operation.

For years, Iran has built an extensive petrochemical industry designed not only to generate revenue but also to provide the regime with resilience against international sanctions. The Mahshahr area, alongside Assaluyeh, has become one of the country’s most important strategic assets. It is a vast industrial hub connected to a network of factories, energy infrastructure, maritime exports and supply chains that affect the entire Iranian economy.

For that reason, the damage to Karoon is not merely a strike on a single factory. It is a blow to a central link in a much larger system. When facilities of this kind are hit, the ability of other factories to receive raw materials, energy services and industrial support is also affected. The damage extends far beyond the boundaries of the targeted site.

The Israeli move reflects a deep strategic understanding: weakening Iran requires more than striking missile launchers. It also requires targeting the sources of power that allow those missiles to be produced, financed and rebuilt. Strikes on industrial and energy centers create long-term pressure that is far more difficult to repair.

However, the strike on Mahshahr is not occurring in isolation. Alongside the Israeli attacks, Iran is facing heavy pressure on its trade routes. The naval blockade imposed by the United States and its allies on Iran’s ports and maritime export routes has dramatically reduced its ability to market oil, gas and petrochemical products to international markets. This means that even when Iran succeeds in maintaining production, its ability to convert that output into revenue is significantly impaired. A strategic combination has emerged in which Israel targets production capacity while the United States targets export and distribution capabilities.

The cumulative impact of these two efforts is far greater than the sum of their parts. Damage to facilities such as Karoon and Mahshahr reduces industrial output, while pressure on trade routes limits the marketing and export options for what remains. For the Iranian regime, this creates an economic trap: less production, less revenue, less foreign currency and less ability to invest in infrastructure rehabilitation and industrial development.

The timing of the strike is particularly significant

Iran is entering the summer months while already contending with a severe water crisis, declining reservoir levels, recurring droughts and aging infrastructure. At the same time, the country’s power grid is struggling to meet demand, and in recent years many regions have experienced prolonged electricity outages. As industry suffers damage and energy infrastructure remains under pressure, the civilian crisis could deepen.

This comes on top of the economic strain facing the Iranian economy. For a country already dealing with inflation, unemployment, currency depreciation and public dissatisfaction, it represents another blow with far-reaching consequences.

Some view strikes of this kind merely as a response to Iranian missile fire toward Israel. That is too narrow a perspective. In reality, they are part of a broader campaign aimed at steadily increasing the price paid by the Iranian regime. As economic difficulties grow, shortages of basic services worsen and damage to industry expands, the government’s ability to maintain long-term stability is eroded.

No single action brings down a regime. However, history shows that regimes struggle to survive when confronted simultaneously with external pressure, economic crisis, collapsing infrastructure and a frustrated population. The strike in Mahshahr is another step in an effort to place the Iranian regime in precisely such a reality.

Israel is not targeting only Iran’s missiles. It is targeting the system that produces, finances and sustains them. Israel is striking production centers, the United States is exerting heavy pressure on trade routes and ports, and the regime is simultaneously dealing with a water crisis, electricity shortages, soaring inflation and public unrest. Over time, the cumulative pressure on the foundations of the regime’s power may prove more significant than any tactical achievement on the battlefield.

PoliticsWhy Would An Average Nigerian Vote Tinubu by Elusive001(op): 8:15am On Jun 06
Tinubu's supporters have been working overtime to see their principal returned to Aso Rock in 2027.

We have seen different manners of material and financial inducements to some people from various like the "City Boys". We also read about the luxury cars given out by his wife. There had been distribution of RICE to different people. All in the bid to sway the masses.

I ask Tinubu's supporters, what are the tangible reasons an average Nigerian should vote for Tinubu? This is no more a case if of what he will do if elected.

He is about completing 4 years and this should have given him the opportunity to have made tangible positive impacts on the lives of Nigerians. This ought to have given him an advantage over other aspirants in the sense that the should be measurable indices that an average Nigerian on the street can point at and say, "for this, I will vote for Tinubu".

How has the live of an average Nigerian been bettered by this government that will make him say that he will vote for Tinubu? He has ruled and is ruling now. This is no more about what he will do. He is there now and has been there since 2023.

Give us tangible benefits.

Abductors Demand Sharia Law, ₦1bn Ransom For Release Of Oyo Pupils, Teachers

Adebayo Waheed by Adebayo Waheed

16 hours ago

A new twist has emerged in the abduction of pupils and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State, as reports indicate that the kidnappers are demanding both a ₦1 billion ransom and the implementation of Sharia law as conditions for the release of the victims.

The development was reportedly attributed to the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, who disclosed that the abductors had moved beyond financial demands to include ideological and political conditions.

According to the report, the kidnappers are insisting that the state government implement Sharia law in Oyo State as part of their negotiation terms, raising concerns that the case may be shifting from a conventional kidnapping incident into a broader ideological and security challenge.

The abductors are also said to have listed additional demands, including cash payment, vehicles, food supplies, and the release of detained suspects allegedly held in Oyo and Ibadan.

Specifically, the group is reportedly demanding ₦1 billion to be paid into a Republic of Benin bank account, two Hilux vehicles, and the release of arrested individuals they claim are linked to their network.

The abducted pupils and teachers were taken when armed men attacked schools in Oriire LGA, triggering panic across affected communities and renewed concern over insecurity in the state.

Families of the victims have continued to appeal for urgent intervention, expressing anxiety over the safety and wellbeing of their loved ones still in captivity.

The prolonged detention has heightened tension in the area, with residents and community leaders calling for swift action to secure the release of the abductees.

The reported ideological demand has sparked debate among security analysts and political observers, who say it complicates possible negotiation efforts and raises questions about the evolving nature of kidnapping operations in the region.

While Governor Seyi Makinde, had earlier suggested openness to considering certain demands to secure the victims’ release, the Oyo State House of Assembly has since rejected negotiations with the abductors, insisting on intensified rescue operations instead.

Security agencies are expected to intensify efforts as pressure mounts on authorities to ensure the safe return of the abducted schoolchildren and teachers.

DomPerignon:
Abure was not being egotistical.

He had complained to obi on how the campaign funds were being embezzled by Aisha and co.

Abure warned Obi severally a few weeks to the election, that polling agents across all the Polling units were yet to be mobilised by the party and that obi should release part of the campaign funds from the Obi-Datti campaign team to facilitate the mobilization of LP Polling unit agents to which Obi ignored.

That is how the LP went into that election without any LP polling unit agents present in over 90,000 polling units across the north.



After the elections, Abure exercised his right as National chairman to call for an audit of the elections.


Aisha and her obidient crooks refused to submit an audit of the donated campaign funds and how they were spent.

Obi is even aware of the shoddy preparations during the campaigns when he refused to get on the podium on one of his rallies after seeing the scanty crowd and just three rented canopies .

Aisha and her obidient crooks then started gaslighting Abure to Obi to have him removed before he exposes their thieving of campaign funds.

Obi then began to make moves to remove Abure as the national chairman but Abure was smart enough to convene a national convention in Awka that saw him reelected as the LP national chairman.

The issue remains crooks like Aisha and how Obi backed and protected them.
