So when they bombed a school and killed 165 girls they were avoiding civilian casualties? And because Trump told you it was Iran than threw rhat bomb, you believed it. But all news outlets have said it was actually an American bomb that hit that school and killed those girls.
So you think if the US really wanted to bomb civilians, it is a girls' school that they would bomb? That school must have been an accident or error.
The US and Israel have been avoiding bombing civilian infrastructure, otherwise the whole of Iran would have been totally destroyed by now. Imagine if all the water treatment and dams, banks, power, energy, internet, electricity, etc. bombed and destroyed.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran Cannot Participate In The FIFA World Cup, Sports Minister Says by mikeapollo: 5:58pm On Mar 11
EnergyEnergy:
Iran ⁠cannot ⁠participate in the FIFA World ⁠Cup after the ⁠United States killed its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, ‌says the country’s sports minister Ahmad Donyamali.

“Considering that this corrupt ⁠regime [the US] has ⁠assassinated our leader, under no circumstances ⁠can we ⁠participate in ⁠the World Cup,” the minister told ‌state television on Wednesday.

cated to American cities, including Los Angeles and Seattle.

The US and Israeli war on Iran, which began on February 28, have killed 1,255 people and wounded more than 12,000 in the first 12 days of the war.

Tehran has responded by launching waves of missiles and drones at Israel, several military bases in the Middle East where US forces operate and at infrastructure in the region.

“Our children are not safe and, fundamentally, such conditions for participation do not exist,” Donyamali said.

“Given the malicious actions ⁠they have carried out against Iran, ⁠they have forced two wars on us over eight or nine months and have killed and martyred thousands of our people. Therefore, we ⁠certainly cannot have such a presence.”

It is the first time an official from the Iranian government has spoken on the country’s participation in the global tournament since the US and Israel launched their attacks on the nation on February 28.

The head of the Iranian Football Federation cast doubt on his team’s participation last week, but did not say the team would boycott the tournament.

“After this attack [on Iran], we cannot be expected to look forward to the World Cup with hope,” Mehdi Taj, president of the Football Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran (FFIRI), said on March 1.

“If the World Cup is like this, who in their right mind would send their national team to a place like this?” Taj asked on Iranian state television.


Earlier, FIFA President Gianni Infantino ‌said Iran’s participation in the World Cup would be welcomed by US President Donald Trump, with whom he met and discussed the upcoming tournament amid the ongoing war in the Middle East.

Infantino said on Wednesday that Trump “reiterated that the Iranian team is welcome to compete in the tournament”, which is being cohosted by the US, Mexico and Canada in June and July.

During a meeting to discuss preparations for the competition, “we also spoke about the current situation in Iran,” Infantino, the head of world football’s governing body, wrote on Instagram.

“During the discussions, President Trump reiterated that the Iranian team is, of course, welcome to compete in the tournament in the United States,” he wrote.

Iran was the first country to secure qualification for the World Cup, which runs from June 11 to July 19.

Foreign Affairs › Iran's New Supreme Leader Injured But 'safe', Says President's Son by mikeapollo(op): 3:36pm On Mar 11
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/irans-supreme-leader-injured-safe-110351007.html

Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is injured but "safe and sound", the son of the president said Wednesday, offering the first official explanation for why the 56-year-old has not been seen since his appointment at the weekend.

"I heard news that Mr Mojtaba Khamenei had been injured. I have asked some friends who had connections," Yousef Pezeshkian, who is also a government adviser, wrote in a post on his Telegram channel.

"They told me that, thank God, he is safe and sound," added the son of President Masoud Pezeshkian.

Mojtaba Khamenei, until now a low profile if powerful behind-the-scenes figure, was named Iran's number one following the killing of his father Ali Khamenei in an air strike at the start of the US-Israeli war against the Islamic republic.

But there had been mounting questions about his whereabouts and physical condition after his appointment by the Assembly of Experts clerical body, with the new supreme leader yet to be seen, let alone speak, in public.

State television had called Khamenei a "wounded veteran of the Ramadan war" without giving details, in reference to the conflict which broke out during the holy Muslim fasting month.

In a report on Wednesday, the New York Times quoting three unnamed Iranian officials said that Khamenei "had suffered injuries, including to his legs, but that he was alert and sheltering at a highly secure location with limited communication".

There has been speculation that he was injured in the day-time air strike on a compound in Tehran that killed his father, as well as his mother and wife on the first day of the war on February 28.

His face has appeared on giant billboards in Tehran, with one showing him symbolically receiving the national flag from his father Ali while the founding leader of the Islamic republic, Ruhollah Khomeini, looks on.

Posters of him were brandished by thousands of pro-government supporters at a huge rally in central Tehran on Monday.

But night-time cries of "Death to Mojtaba!" in the capital have also underlined public opposition to a figure believed to have played a key role in repressing waves of anti-government protests since 2009.

Mojtaba's father Ali lived the latter half of his life with a partially paralysed arm, having been injured in an assassination attempt in 1981 blamed on the People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) group.

The Iranian supreme leader position is for life and he also serves as a religious guide for Shia Muslims.

Given that he instantly became a target for assassination by the United States and Israel at the weekend, analysts said he would remain out of public view for some time.

Emile Hokayem at the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies said he expected him "to sit in a bunker somewhere for a very long time because he saw what happened to his father, his wife, his mother who were all killed in the initial attack."

"Killing him early is certainly an Israeli priority. If he survives, he becomes a totem, a testimony to the resilience of the system," Hokayem told an online event organised by his think-tank on Monday.

He said he expected Khamenei to delegate power to run the government to national security chief Ali Larijani and the war effort to powerful parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.

The army and the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) both pledged allegiance to Khamenei after his nomination, as did the Tehran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen and the Hezbollah armed group in Lebanon.


Before his nomination to the position, US President Donald Trump had warned that Khamenei would be "unacceptable" as new supreme leader.

"He's going to have to get approval from us," Trump told ABC News on Sunday. "If he doesn't get approval from us he's not going to last long."

If a federal structure or facility is located in a State and the FG wants to relinquish its control or give it out, the State has the right of first refusal because the structure is situated on State land.
The traders association should look for a very good lawyer that would represent them well whenever they want to enter any new Agreement and also obtain a court injunction to prevent the State from ejecting them or increasing fees and levies until an Agreement is reached.

My friend, Iran cannot even fly a single warplane in their own country! Is that not enough embarrassment? How do you expect them to win a war when most of the destruction is taking place right inside Iran through their own airspace?
Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran Begins Laying Mines In Strait Of Hormuz - CNN by mikeapollo: 2:39pm On Mar 11
Iran does not have anything!
They are just relying on possible pressure by international business (shipping) companies and the Arab Gulf states on US to stop the war. Otherwise, once ships change their route and no longer pass through the Strait of Hormuz, what next for Iran?

The Israeli bombs are dropping on Iran through the airspace, and not through the sea, for God's sake!
How would Iran win the war when the country itself is totally battered and they cannot even fly a single warplane over their own territory?

Whose going to stop them?

The US Navy has been moved 1,000km away from the straits.

US and Israel are yet to have air dominance and Iran has started mining the straits as well as positioning anti ship ballistic missiles and drones along the straits.

If the Houthis could maintain a blockade over the Suez and chase a whole US Aircraft carrier fleet from the Red Sea is it Iran that was supplying the Houthis missiles and drones that can not ensure a blockade over their sovereign waters?
It is only a coward that does this. Reminds me of how Iraq did something similar during the 1990 Gulf war

Is this the war that Iran was boasting of? Iran should direct its arsenals at Israel, the main power that has been bombarding and destorying Israel. What has commercial ships got to do with Israel?
Foreign Affairs › Re: 5 Years In Prison For Those Who Share Damage In Tel Aviv by mikeapollo: 1:13pm On Mar 11
DomPerignon:
Emergency Law in Israel: According to multiple social media and news reports from early March 2026, Israel has reportedly implemented an emergency law imposing up to five years in prison for individuals who publish videos or images showing damage in Tel Aviv during missile attacks, particularly those from Iran.

Scope of the Law: The law specifically targets the sharing of real-time or sensitive footage on social media platforms, with authorities warning of serious legal consequences for leaking such content. This measure appears aimed at controlling information during heightened conflict.

Sources and Context: While posts from accounts like PalMedia and Middle East Observer on X (March 8–9, 2026) widely circulated this information, no official government statement or legal document has been cited in the provided results to independently confirm the law’s enactment. A related report mentions that George Galloway claimed such censorship is in place to hide the extent of damage in Tel Aviv.

Other Related Legislation: Separately, in February 2025, the Knesset advanced a bill that could punish Israelis for cooperating with the International Criminal Court (ICC) with up to five years in prison, but this is distinct from the alleged social media restrictions during attacks.
Lies and propaganda can make some people feel really happy and sleep well at night.

No body will guarantee you anything in stock trading because the market moves with some elements of uncertainty and certainty (aided by financial data).

Best thing you can do for yourself is open a stock trading account then do basic research on any stock you want to buy then buy if you are convinced.

Follow this guidelines:

1. Don't jump into any stock you have no idea how the business is run.

2. Buy stocks of companies that you and at least 50% of Nigerians buy their products or services.

3. Learn to read basic charts. Look at the daily or weekly timeframe so you spot the current, lowest and highest price levels of a stock so that you know the risk you are facing should price drop.

4. Don't put all your money into Nigeria Stock Market cos Nigeria doesn't yet have any sensible political leadership. It takes one bad policy or event to happen and all your life savings will vanish. Buy lands in your state of origin and do the c of o, learn and trade agro products, etc.

5. Avoid FOMO. Don't rush into NGX because you are seeing all the wonderful returns. Year 2026 is a year of massive profit taking and prices will collapse afterwards. That's when you should buy. Wait for 50% to 70% drop in stock price of good companies then buy.

6. Don't buy when prices are at an all time high or already did 200% to 500% from its lowest levels in the past 12 - 18 months. Those who bought Oando at N100+ and Ellah Lakes at N18+ are still biting their fingers now.

Deploy your money elsewhere (lands, bonds, treasury bills or agro products storage) pending when the stock market crashes.
The guy talk say him no wan go through the NGX hassle and stress.
You forget say some people here dey sweat profusely inside dream when they saw prices of stocks like Japaul, Ellah, Oando etc dancing ''skelewu'' up and down? The guy does not want to have BP at his young age. grin

Foreign Affairs › Iran Armed Forces Spokesman Urges Muslims To Reveal Israeli, US Military Assets by mikeapollo(op): 9:22am On Mar 11
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/iranian-armed-forces-spokesman-urges-0755425

Iranian Armed Forces spokesperson Brig.-Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi called on regional Muslims and countries to reveal the locations of US and Israeli military assets to enable Tehran to conduct more accurate attacks, the Iranian state-affiliated Defa Press reported on Wednesday.

Shekarchi also framed the request as a way to ensure the safety of the people in the region.
“I call on the Muslim people of the region and the countries of the region to show us the hideouts of US and Zionist forces so that they themselves will not be harmed, and so that we can strike them more precisely," Shekarchi said.


The spokesperson went on to assert that the US and Israel were using the people in the region as "human shields."
"In this way, the people of the region will be safe from the crushing blows of our armed forces, and we can also free these people from the United States and Israel,” Shekarchi added.

He went on to say that “such cooperation can establish security in the region,” and urged people in the region not to shield US forces.

“We ask the Muslim people of the region not to become shields for the invading US army so that, God willing, we can more effectively, more strongly, and more quickly remove the Americans from the region,” he said.

Shekarchi also accused Washington and Jerusalem of purposely targeting civilians.

“The criminal US army and the Zionist regime, which are unable to confront our armed forces and every day suffer heavy losses under the powerful strikes of our forces, are, out of desperation and inability to face our military, shedding the blood of ordinary people; our women, innocent children, and men,” he said.

He said attacks had taken place in Tehran on consecutive days.
“As part of these actions, two shameless and savage crimes were committed in Tehran yesterday and today,” Shekarchi said.

Addressing what he described as “American-Zionist enemies,” Shekarchi warned of retaliation.

“We tell them to expect crushing blows in retaliation for these savage acts. Soon we will avenge these actions and deliver very severe strikes against them,” he said.

Shekarchi also accused the United States of hypocrisy regarding its stated support for the Iranian public.

“The criminal United States and the lying, delusional Trump launched this aggression under the slogan of supporting the Iranian people. Now those same people whom the Americans falsely claimed they wanted to support are being killed and bloodied under American bombing and missile strikes,” he said
