Yes I've seen that on CNN.

But it's only God that knows what Iran is going through currently.

The last time Iran fought with Israel they confessed that Israel was using occultic power on them.

Good evening to all doctors here, please I will appreciate if anyone can interpret this result for me.

I have been having chest pain for like two weeks now..though it's not that serious but I do feel pain and pepperish sensation in my chest..so I decided to go to a lab to do this test.

I will appreciate if anyone can tell me what this is all about. Because I am a bit scared with the block I am seeing. I hope I am not having heart attack?

What is is the solution please?

Visit a teaching hospital and meet a specialist

The world awoke to seismic news on February 28, 2026, when joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes targeted Tehran, resulting in the death of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iranian state media confirmed the 86-year-old cleric's demise, declaring a 40-day mourning period amid vows of retaliation from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Khamenei, who had ruled since 1989, was killed at his office during the strikes, which U.S. President Donald Trump described as a step toward regime change. The attacks escalated into a broader conflict, with Iran launching missile and drone strikes on U.S. bases and Gulf cities, while thousands mourned in Tehran streets. Khamenei's death leaves a power vacuum, with no clear successor, potentially destabilizing the regime he hardened through support for proxies like Hezbollah and militias across the Middle East. This event underscores Iran's long-standing designation as the foremost state sponsor of terrorism, a role that extends beyond the Middle East into Africa, including Nigeria.

Khamenei's legacy includes bolstering Iran's influence through terrorism and proxy networks, often via the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF). His passing raises questions about the continuity of these activities, particularly in regions like West Africa, where Iran has been accused of fueling instability. While Iranian officials deny direct involvement, framing ties as ideological or humanitarian, Western intelligence and reports paint a picture of active sponsorship. Similarly, Turkey's expanding footprint in Africa has drawn scrutiny for alleged indirect support to jihadist groups, though Ankara emphasizes counterterrorism cooperation. Below, we break down the reported involvements of Iran and Turkey in Nigeria's terrorism landscape, drawing on diverse sources to provide a balanced view.

Iran's Alleged Sponsorship of Terrorism in Nigeria
Iran has been designated by the U.S. as a state sponsor of terrorism since 1984, with activities including financial, training, and material support to proxies like Hezbollah and local Shiite groups in Nigeria. This support aims to undermine rivals, spread instability, and advance Tehran's ideological goals, often through the IRGC-QF. In Nigeria, these efforts have targeted Western and Israeli interests while bolstering Shiite militias.

Key incidents include:

- 2013 Hezbollah Cell Dismantling:
Nigerian authorities uncovered a weapons cache in Kano, arresting three Lebanese Hezbollah operatives linked to Iran. The arsenal, including antitank weapons and explosives, was intended for attacks on Israeli and U.S. targets. The operatives received training from Hezbollah, funded by the IRGC-QF.

- Surveillance and Plotting: In February 2013, a Shiite imam in Ilorin was arrested for leading a cell that surveilled USAID, Peace Corps, and Israeli sites after training in Iran. This cell, funded via Dubai, plotted attacks on prominent Nigerians and foreign entities to unsettle the West.

- Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) Ties: The IMN, a prominent Shiite group, has received Iranian funding, training in explosives, and ideological support. While IMN claims limited ties, former Iranian officials describe it as a proxy. This has fueled sectarian tensions in northern Nigeria.

- Arms Shipments: In 2010, Nigeria intercepted an Iranian arms shipment destined for West African rebels, highlighting Tehran's role in regional proliferation. Broader assessments note Iran's use of African hubs for Hezbollah logistics.

These allegations primarily come from U.S. and Western sources, which Iranian officials dismiss as politically motivated to isolate Tehran. Iran maintains that its African engagements are cultural and religious, not terrorist. However, Iran's high ranking in global terrorism indices underscores persistent concerns.

Turkey's Alleged Involvement in Terrorism in Nigeria

Unlike Iran, Turkey is not designated a state sponsor of terrorism and actively positions itself as a counterterrorism partner in Africa, including Nigeria. However, allegations of indirect support to groups like Boko Haram have surfaced, tied to arms deals, illicit flows, and ideological sympathies from some Turkish figures. These claims are more speculative and often denied by Ankara.

Notable reports include:

- **2014 Arms Transfer Allegations**: A leaked recording implicated Turkish Airlines and officials in supplying weapons to Boko Haram. Nigerian investigations followed, with claims of sophisticated arms reaching insurgents.

- **Ideological Support**: A former advisor to President Erdoğan advocated backing "Islamic groups" in Nigeria against "state terrorism" by African governments, framing counterinsurgency as oppression.

- **2019-2020 Probes**: Nigeria's military investigated Turkish arms allegedly reaching Boko Haram, amid defense deals with West African states. Some media labeled Turkey a "terrorist state" in this context, though officially, ties are for counterterrorism.

- **Illicit Flows**: Turkey's role in gold from jihadist areas in the Sahel potentially benefits al-Qaeda-linked groups near Nigeria. Security agreements with Niger and others raise suspicions of dual-use support.

Turkish officials, including Ambassador Mehmet Poroy, deny sponsorship, highlighting shared counterterrorism efforts and Turkey's own battles against ISIS and the PKK. Ankara frames accusations as misinformation to undermine its African influence, emphasizing military training and aid to combat extremism. Pro-government sources view these claims as part of rivalries in arms markets.

Broader Implications Amid Khamenei's Death

Khamenei's assassination could disrupt Iran's proxy networks, including in Nigeria, potentially weakening groups like the IMN. For Turkey, expanding ties, such as drone sales and training, offer opportunities but invite scrutiny. Both nations' activities highlight how geopolitical rivalries fuel African instability, with Nigeria bearing the brunt through groups like Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa. Balanced international cooperation remains essential to address terrorism financing and arms flows.

The Saudis and the Iranians are actually behind a lot of the problems in Northern Nigeria - and they have been for several decades now. They covertly (and sometimes overtly) bankroll the activities of fundamentalist Islamic clerics (both local and foreign) in this country. It isn't a secret.

A side note: right thinking people should provide any support they may have for the Palestinian cause on the merit of the cause itself and not the loud chatter from the Saudis, Iranians, Turks etc. The Saudis and Iranians talk about 'justice' for Palestine and yet these two countries have made Northern Nigeria their playground? The Saudis and the Iranians won't confront each other directly but they'll use their stupid proxies in Nigeria to act out their war fantasies?

The Wahabbist funds from Saudi Arabia has stopped coming 📌💯.
ISIS funded from IRAN is the main problem now.

And Nuhu Ribadu is saying nonsense, negotiating with Terrorist 📌

Myself2:
How can a terrorist want peace. I'm suspecting Nuhu Ribadu ooo

U r seeing ISIS member openly , a Fulani supremacists 📌

MrSly:
I don't understand these people. Does this man understand who a terrorist is? The major problem of Nigeria is illiterate men who know absolutely nothing being at the Helms of activities. Hear a whole National Security Adviser out. Arrant nonsense. I should not share a country with these deluded men.

He's a lawyer, police officer but chose to be a terrorist because of religious ties. The Saudis and Emirates won't say this trash.

HugoBoss10:
These northern leaders often think they own this country.
Can any southern leader in such position publicly and arrogantly utter this rubbish

I'm a northern from the northeast, this terrorist have been emboldened right from independence and think killing christians and other tribes as their right. Hand go soon touch them

bewisemasses:
From this statement it's clear that we may not to choose guys from this religion to spearhead this anti terrorist drive for they will somehow be attached to their brothers.

Tinubu needs to get this man fired, I trust Nigerians to share this videos with Trump. Ribadu will cause problems for Tinubu, terrorist only under force, crushed hard and totally 📌💯

Uprightness100:
Riots in Kashmir, India, following the killing of Khamenei.

PM Modi should send his Hindus troops discipline those nuisance

P1PrinceKT:
Ok are you from Iran? I mean Tehran?

Ayotolallah Zeyyed Ali Khameni

P1PrinceKT:
The idea that says he hide in a bunker is a lie. In fact they (US and Israel) are aware that he is not hiding anywhere, he continues his normal duties before they killed him, that's why they announced they've killed him after strucking the house.

The guy is very brave. He died as a very courageous hero.

Get your information right. The residence it's a bunker. It's a B2 bomber or F35 loaded with a bunker buster that did the job.

SadiqBabaSani:
But what gives one country the right to enter another country and take out all it's Senior military and civilian leadership?

What gives one country to scream death to Israel, death to America for over 40years. Sponsors attacks on isreal through Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon,Houthis in Yemen, Shittes militia in Iraq Syria, ISIS in Africa affecting sane Nigerians .

Put Body, you go collect 📌💯🙌

He will get another home later. The most important thing is that he is alive to witness the downfall of the aggressors.

Long life Ali Khamenei.

Hope your international passport for Cotonou IDP don ready

WriterrNg:
Did Iran attack first?

Why would you leave the aggressor and blame the victim?

If you have a neighbor who's housing criminals that have killed members of your household on several occasions, would you fold your hands and do nothing??

Won't you attack that neighbor?

It's USA that is keeping the gulf and Emirates countries in power. Those savages would have run them down since.

ADC should sign up 500 people and submit. Nigerians need a political platform to vent their anger on APC
