Iran says ‘errant’ group of hardliners fired on ships to undermine negotiations
Iran has said that an “errant” group of hardliners had tried to undermine negotiations by firing on commercial ships earlier this week, senior US officials told CBS News.

One official told the US TV network: “They [the Iranians] came back to the table and said, ‘We screwed up. We made a mistake. Let’s keep talking.' Source Aljerzeera

What is good for the geese is good for the ganders... After all I no dey too use the network na Glo ambassador I be!

esnbrutality:
The children have been rescued.. Amen.

The propaganda around it is pathetic.

Admitting ransom was paid is NOT BAD...but claiming to have killed 8 and arrested others during the "so called rescue" is shamelessly pathetic.

Nobody is saying negotiation or rescued operation is bad even me I want to see the evidence of the rescued operation but owing to the afformentioned commenter egregious comment on this issue by saying it is political scripted is what makes me feel he is a sadist or a bitter person that allowed political sentiments to turn his soul into heart of darkness!

Nukilia:
Script well played to discredit the state governor, Knowing fully well that he also wants to contest for presidents position from the Southwest. Anything to make him look incompetent is always welcomed by the cabals

What kind of illogical and irrational statement is this? Abeg we should use our common sense this is absolutely condemnable. These are human beings we are talking about and not everything should be political...

ijayalolo:
Let us assume money was paid, I thought you would be happy the children came back home the way your likes have been crying all over threads that children are in captivity as if you love them more than their family.
Now they have been rescued, express that happiness don't cry whether money was paid or not. Or you prefer they get beheaded like their teacher so you and your principal can have more bad news about Nigeria to rejoice about?



Thank you for your attention to this matter

Oga abi you no dey read to understand and comprehend. Informatively, the opening sentence of my comment was all about expression of plausible joy for the safe return of the children. Apparently, I can't be a bitter and a sadist to the extent of being pained that kidnapped children or individuals should not be rescued by any means whether through rescue operation or negotiation. My political alignment has not reached that stage of seeing people's lives being played like a scrabble or chess and I will sleep with my two eyes closed. However, I can't be intimidated not to ask rational and logical questions when the need arises if you said they are rescued by the security agencies show us proof so as we can believe more and applaud them of their doggedness and bravery. That is my stake!

Drsmiles:
Shut up and ask parents if the chinook girls whether there is a difference between paying ransome and reacuing their wards. Whatever means that led to their return is welcome. Biko sebapuo

Mr man Prelude to my comment I express joy and happiness over the safe return of the children and teachers. However, they only thing I demanded was nothing but evidence to corroborate the fact that it was a rescue operation... For me whether it is rescued operation or negotiation that brought back the abductees is a welcome idea provided they are back to their family safe and sound but where it states that it is a rescue operation we will like to see evidence to appreciate the security and the government more...

Ttalk:
Can't you read that some of them were neutralized and 8 were arrested

while you are correct real and substantial evidence will be better put out to resonate public confidence in the government and security agencies!

While I express utmost joy for the safe return of the students and their teachers. However, there are questions that need to be answered, were they truly rescued or as usual bargain and negotiation was what transpired the release of the abductees? Because no single evidence to show that it was a rescue operation that led to the recovery of these children and their teachers. I mean, real and substantial evidence will provoke more public confidence and trust in the government and security agencies.

This match will be like a blockbuster movie. It will be one of the biggest unpredictable entertaining game to be played in this world cup because both are two magnificent teams who wants history to be answerable to them. They are juggernaut with so many potentials.

XTruth:
Lol. Why not share a screenshot here

Apparently, you want to be spoonfed which is imperatively clear that you lack dexterity and commitment to hunger for knowledge. Literally, this is a disease that keep people misinformed and dysfunctionally shallow minded. However, I will rather screenshot the antidote to your problem which is Google than doing the obvious...

XTruth:
Lol stop typing false news.
Iran will be foolish trusting those neighbors. How many of them condemned the killing of innocent school children there.

If only you understand the average mind and nature of those Arab.

. Please fact check before making comments... This news was reported by BBC, Aljerzeera, CNN and many more media houses?

And hits over 190 targets with precision strike in the space of two days. Apparently, already the Irananian side through their Foreign Affairs Minister are calling for cease fire. You can't hold the whole world into ransom because of your illogical and irrational behavior and expects the world to fold her hands and look at you.

Latest update Iran is already talking with the gulf allies and neighbors and running a marathon of deescalation in order for peace to be restored. Consequently, that will be more profitable for them because this is the first time Trump spoke less and exert full blown action. Here is his words according to BBC: Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says he has spoken to his counterparts in Oman and Turkey on the phone, with all parties calling for diplomacy following the recent exchange of strikes between the US and Iran. He added and says they emphasised the importance of working together to "pursue regional issues and prevent the escalation of tensions".

I'm yet to see a country with leaders as foolish as Iran's. Just look at the golden opportunity before them. For the first time, they can sell their oil and receive payment without sanctions. Why not focus on stabilising the economy instead?

Instead, they're more interested in controlling the Strait of Hormuz. For context, the Strait has two sides, one bordering Oman and the other Iran. Shipping companies now prefer the Omani side because the US Navy has worked to clear mines from the waters. Iran, on the other hand, insists that ships use its route. It doesn't stop there. They also want vessels to seek permission and pay a fee before being allowed to pass.

Those who ignored the directive were attacked by Iran. The US responded by saying that wasn't going to happen and retaliated after the attacks on the ships.

The cowardly part is that whenever Iran gets attacked, it often turns around and targets smaller countries it sees as weaker, like Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan. These days, they don't even go after Saudi Arabia. What kind of country is that? They know what they doing.

Bro you are so informed and lettered in the unfolding events and global politics. Apparently, it seems you read or watch news from multiple sources. I have issues with America but this time around I want them to go all round on Iran. This carnage and rampage has no place in human existence. How can you control your water space and still want to control that of Oman, collect tolls become a factorize permission actor and restrict innocent passage just because you want to flex muscle and hold the world into ransom? a water space that is not yours! They will surely learn the hard way this time around 19 warships including two aircraft carriers no be beans they are not artifacts for tourism or flowers for beautification they are ingenuity to purify insanity...

Cry me a river... The gory and egregious behavior of Iran is not going unpunished... They are feeling the heat and as a matter of fact their insensitive and repugnant actions is being paid in hard currency! The punitive and retributive payback is not only decisive but timely and precisely.

More from US’s CENTCOM on Iran attacks
In its X post announcing the current wave of strikes on Iran, the US’s Central Command says that these attacks are meant to hold Iran “accountable” for its recent “aggression”.

At the direction of the Commander in Chief, U.S. Central Command forces have started conducting additional strikes against Iran to further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz,”

“The United States is holding Iran accountable for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital international waterway,” CENTCOM said. Sources The Hill and Aljazeera

It seems packing the bus is no longer working as a tactics many people learnt from Paris St. German against Arsenal in the Champions League final and same to Africa countries in the world cup. Literally, it is becoming cumbersome for defending teams to withstand the tempo and pressure of the offensive opponents... Truly this is an advancement in football tactics! In other words no free lunch again you must work to win!!!!

10 minutes and the ref never blow abi him want make Argentina lose

Egypt are just misbehaving allowing emotions to run them this is not Africa football ohhh.... The ban no bi here....

Omo that goal is so unbelievable and a magnificent one up Argentina.... Up Messi!

Goal..... What a game for Argentinaaaaa......

God bless EUFA for standing up for justice. This is totally an aberration that should not be condone. This is the case of absolute power corrupts absolutely according to Lord Acton exhibited by FIFA and US. Just like Animal Farm by George Orwell we are witnessing the same thing. You can't arbitrarily overrule a clear red card whether advertently or inadvertently a red card offence has been committed and that is why we have a ref who has an immunity when it comes to the use of discretion in delivering judgement. However, the excuse that FIFA has right to overrule a red card is very wrong and only playing the card of might is right.

fergie001:
You are correct, thanks

....but the word is ellipses

Thanks as well for the correction!

Politicking in assassinating someone's character? That is ridiculous and outrageous this is not funny... people talks anyhow and when they are caught in the web they look for so many excuses to serve as a way of pacifying the agrived victims!

Boss, please when using elepsis next time; grammatical it should be only three dots.

May God comfort the hearts of the victims. Amen!

Imagine how Rocky some men heart is! This tells us that we live in a country where our leaders lack human feelings and are very much evil insensitive and inordinate.

Relationship with obsession is the biggest mistake one will ever imagine especially when the person you loves breaks your heart.

Ahmed0336:
What you said is true but I believe that Nemesis is what is catching up with maku.
Have you forgotten that Late Ewuga brought him from Lagos and recommended him to the then Abdullahi Adamu who made him commissioner then subsequently succeeded Wado as Deputy governor.
What did maku d0, he contested severally with Ewuga vying for the seat of governor.
David is just paying him back in his own coin despite making him his campaign DG in 2023 .
Guy leave politics matter, btw Danladi is your tribal man as well abi na religion matter make this issue dey pain you?
We did had an argument on a thread when David decamped to APC where you claimed Christians are majority in Nas.
Don't o worry, I will quote you in 2027 when Wadada and Sule must have been declared elected.

My boss 😂😆😆 anyways God bless you happy seeing a Nasarawa state guy on Nairaland. Meantime, bro you are equally right by saying that nemesis is catching up with him but for how long will we continue to rigmarole on this collateral damage?

However, on the support for Evulu-Anza believe you me I am happy he won even though my first painful choice was Umbuguadu, followed by Maku I am holding no animosity over DHE victory because of religion different you know the truth if religion plays its part he can't win the three LGA... Absolutely no bro... I don't have problem with that so please permit me to be a little bit of a bigot 😂😆 he is my tribal man... After all of all the candidates he is more culturally inclined by far... So tribe over anything but my problem with him publicly saying he will handover to His Excellency AA Sule parthing way as a placeholder I am seriously against it.

Additionally, bro I will say it again and again we can't give two foreigners power in our state at the same time... Yes! one is from Yobe or Borno and the anointed candidate is now from Sokoto... Haba! and you dey talk say make I no protest? Can that happen in their respective states? Not even a councilor can an Eggon, Mada, Alago or Gbagyi or any other indigenous tribe in Nasarawa state can claim in Yobe, Borno or Sokoto state so why is ours different? For religion boss I don't want to sound... But evidently, I still stand that we are more than you guys in Nasarawa state.

Finally, if not for the division in Eggon land and high level of election manipulation, banditry and theft Wada and Gov. AA Sule are goners with some many factors, APC crisis in the state and the defection of IGP to SDP and many more factors! Thanks and God bless you as we celebrate our dancing senator together...
