Israeli stocks hit record highs following America’s Operation Midnight Hammer on Iran


Israeli stocks rose for a sixth session on Sunday to hit fresh all-time highs after U.S attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites, which investors believe would likely prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons anytime soon.


The broad Tel Aviv 125 index was 1.3% higher, while the blue-chip TA-35 was 1.2% higher in afternoon trading.

On the heels of Israeli strikes in Iran, shares rose during all five sessions last week, gaining some 6%, as Israel hit Iranian nuclear and military targets prior to Saturday’s surprise U.S. attacks.



“The destruction of Iran’s key nuclear facilities by the U.S. military is, of course, a positive development … in terms of improving the regional security environment and reducing Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities,” said Mizrahi Tefahot chief markets economist Ronen Menachem. “It’s a game-changer.”

Israel began its punishing attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories and military commanders on June 13, which have been met with retaliatory Iranian strikes against Israel. U.S. President Donald Trump said he had “obliterated” Iran’s main nuclear sites in strikes overnight with massive bunker busting bombs, joining an Israeli assault in a significant new escalation of conflict in the Middle East.

Tehran vowed to defend itself, and responded with a volley of missiles at Israel that wounded scores of people and destroyed buildings in Tel Aviv on Sunday. Still, for more than a week, local markets have cheered Israel’s actions in Iran. In addition to gains in shares, government bond prices have risen, the shekel has appreciated and Israel’s risk premium has edged lower.

Bond prices were up as much as 0.2% on Sunday. The shekel does not trade on Sunday but it has rallied from 3.61 per dollar on June 11 to 3.48 on Friday and is up some 1% this month.

“Looking at the medium- to long-term — which is relevant for many strategic investors — this could represent a genuine opportunity, possibly related to the prospect of closer ties between the Saudi and American axis,” Menachem said.

Full speech: Donald Trump’s address to nation after attack on Iran
US president warns Iran that it must now ‘make peace’ or face future US attacks.


US President Donald Trump delivers an address to the nation alongside Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at the White House in Washington, DC after announcing the “very successful” US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, United States President Donald Trump addressed the nation.

Here is the full transcript of his speech on Saturday evening:

Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise. Our objective was the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one state sponsor of terror.

Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace.

If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.


For 40 years, Iran has been saying, “Death to America, death to Israel”.

They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs – that was their speciality.

We lost over a thousand people, and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate, in particular, so many were killed by their general, Qassem Soleimani.

I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen.

It will not continue.

I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.

We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we’ve gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel.

I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they’ve done and, most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight, and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades.

Hopefully, we will no longer need their services in this capacity. I hope that’s so. I also want to congratulate the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan “Razin” Caine – spectacular general – and all of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack.

With all of that being said, this cannot continue.

There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days.

Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight’s was the most difficult of them all by far, and perhaps the most lethal, but if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill. Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes.

There’s no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight, not even close. There has never been a military that could do what took place just a little while ago.

Tomorrow, General Caine, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, will have a press conference at 8am (12:00 GMT) at the Pentagon, and I want to just thank everybody, and in particular, God.

I want to just say, “We love you, God, and we love our great military. Protect them.” God bless the Middle East. God bless Israel, and God bless America.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

US has struck three Iranian nuclear sites, Trump says
President Donald Trump said Saturday that the US military struck three sites in Iran, directly joining Israel ’s effort to destroy the country’s nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe amid Tehran’s threat of reprisals that could spark a wider regional conflict.

The decision to directly involve the US comes after more than a week of strikes by Israel on Iran that have moved to systematically eradicate the country’s air defences and offensive missile capabilities, while damaging its nuclear enrichment facilities. But US and Israeli officials have said that American stealth bombers and a 30,000-lb. bunker buster bomb they alone can carry offered the best chance of destroying heavily-fortified sites connected to the Iranian nuclear program buried deep underground.

We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home.”

The strikes are a perilous decision for the US as Iran has pledged to retaliate if it joined the Israeli assault, and for Trump personally, having won the White House on the promise of keeping America out of costly foreign conflicts and scoffed at the value of American interventionism.

Everything about CNN and Ajazera are very untrue . Don't believe them for any sourcee

If you where presented a choice of donating one eye to someone who needs it for a reward of N50million naira. Will you do it?

when nigeria is ready to grow, we can start mining talent instead of h"u@man skkulll

Very soon you will be hearing "GENOCIDE, THEY ARE KILLING OUR CHILDREN

This sounds to me like a word of a dying man.

If ISRAEL can locate all your scientist and generals, what made u think they don't know that little hole YOUR twitting from?? Think again!

Tomato paste is one of the most common ingredients in our kitchens — used in stews, soups, jollof, and more. But did you know that many of the tomato pastes sold on the market today contain very little actual tomato?

Instead, some brands are blending in: 🔸 Wheat flour or corn starch
🔸 Refined sugar
🔸 Artificial coloring
🔸 Preservatives

The result? A thick red mixture that looks like tomato paste but lacks the nutritional value and purity of real tomatoes.

⚠️ Why You Should Be Concerned

These adulterated pastes can: ❌ Raise blood sugar (because of hidden sugars)
❌ Add empty calories (from starches)
❌ Trigger inflammation or allergies (due to chemicals and dyes)
❌ Deprive you of key nutrients like lycopene, vitamin C, and potassium

What’s worse — it’s often marketed as “pure tomato paste.”

✅ What to Look Out For

Before you buy, read the label carefully. A quality tomato paste should list: ✔️ Tomatoes
✔️ (Optional: salt)
❌ No sugar, no flour, no starch, no coloring

If it includes anything else, it’s not the real deal.

Better still, prepare your own paste at home using fresh tomatoes — it’s healthier, safer, and more nutritious.
“Let’s stop being fooled by red coloring. Our kitchens deserve real food, and our bodies deserve real nutrition.”

This war is getting interesting. Though I want Israel to WIN but I dnt under-estimate IRAN. There is an adage that says MAN NO DEY PASS MAN... I use UKRAINE VS RUSSIA as example. I also use HAMAS and Isreal as example. When Israel lunched its operation in GAZA, we all thought they will wipe out HAMAS and rapp up the operation within weeks but here it is taking year... AGAIN ISREAL says the IRAN operation will last for days but now extended it to 30days . I am sure it will last for years. But one that is certain is that ISREAL MUST WIN NO MATTER HOW LONG

Iran’s military said it struck an Israeli military intelligence center in Tel Aviv with a guided missile overnight into today.

“The Zionist regime’s intelligence center was hit in its core, by a guided missile, despite the enemy’s heavy layers of defense, which the Americans are helping with,” said Reza Talaei-Nik, spokesperson for the Iranian defense ministry.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) said in a statement that the strike was “an effective operation, despite the presence of highly advanced defense systems,” adding that the “center is currently burning.”

Videos circulating on social media and geolocated by CNN appear to show four incoming missiles impacting near interceptor missiles and a military site in central Israel.

Describing the incoming Iranian missiles, an Israeli military official said today that “there have been hits on civilian targets, there have been hits on military targets” since the start of the operation.

Iran supreme leader Khamenei: Israel will face ‘painful fate’

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, vowed “severe punishment" for an Israeli attack that he called a crime.

"The evil and bloody hand of the Zionist regime committed a crime in our beloved country at dawn today, once again revealing its wicked nature by targeting residential areas. This regime must await severe punishment," he said in a statement hours after Israeli strikes.

“By God’s will, the powerful arm of the Islamic Republic’s armed forces will not let it go unpunished,” he said.

“In the enemy’s attacks, a number of commanders and scientists were martyred. Their successors and colleagues will immediately continue their duties, God willing,” he said. “With this crime, the Zionist regime has brought a bitter and painful fate upon itself, and it will certainly face it.”

Interesting time to be alive. If Iran dare respond to this trap, Iran will turn to Gaza and Lebanon.

If Iran launch 1000 missiles, only 1% will enter Israel, but if Israel does the same 99.8% will enter Iran.

Iran should think again

US officials tell news agencies that Israel has started attacking sites in Iran as blasts reported in Tehran.

The Israeli military has carried out several strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities and military sites in and around the country’s capital, Tehran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.

In a prerecorded video message posted early Friday morning, Netanyahu said the strikes were aimed at hurting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and ballistic missile factories.


“This operation will take as long as is needed to complete the task of fending off the threat of annihilation against us,” Netanyahu said.

An unnamed Israeli military official told the Reuters news agency that Israel struck “dozens” of nuclear and military targets early on Friday.

Iranian state-run news agency, Nour News, said several “loud explosions” have been reported in and around Iran’s capital. It added that Iran’s air defence system is on full alert, and all flights at Imam Khomeini international airport have been suspended.

The Israeli military also confirmed to The Times of Israel newspaper it had “launched an aerial campaign against Iran’s nuclear programme” in an operation dubbed “Nation of Lions”. The source told the outlet it needed to act against the “imminent threat” posed by Iran.

Iranian state-run media outlet Press TV confirmed that there have been several casualties, without providing a number.

An unnamed Israeli defence official said the strikes have likely killed members of Iran’s general staff, including the chief of staff and several senior nuclear scientists.



Israel prepares for Iranian response

In a statement, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz described the attacks as “preemptive” and said Israel was preparing for Iran’s response.

“A missile and UAV [drone] attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate timeframe,” Katz said.

Sirens have sounded across Israel as a warning to people, while the Israeli military announced in a post on X that Israel’s civil and public security guidelines had been changed to “essential activity” as of 3am local time (00:00 GMT).

“The guidelines include: a ban on educational activities, gatherings, and workplaces, except for essential businesses,” it said.

Israel’s Ministry of Transportation has confirmed that it has also closed the country’s airspace for arrivals and departures until further notice.

United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed late on Thursday that the US was not involved in the strikes, as he urged Iran not to target American interests or personnel in the region.

“Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran, and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region,” Rubio said in a statement.


“Let me be clear: Iran should not target US interests or personnel,” he added.

Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Washington, DC, Alan Fisher, said developments over recent days indicated that US President Donald Trump “was told that there was going to be some sort of strike”.

“[Just] 24 hours ago, the United States announced that it was going to start moving nonessential personnel out of the embassy in Baghdad [in Iraq], and also recommended that others in embassies around the region could also leave if they wish,” he said.

Fisher said President Trump did not “want Iran to get a nuclear weapon”, but he was “hoping” that nuclear talks would be able to avert a conflict.

“The big question now, of course, is how the United States reacts to any response from Iran. If they side with Israel, that suggests that the nuclear talks are done,” Fisher said.

“[US Special Envoy to the Middle East] Steve Witkoff still intends to hold another meeting with the Iranians at the weekend. Of course, it’ll be up to the Iranians to decide whether or not they want to go,” he added.

Iran’s Defence Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh said on Wednesday that his country would target US military bases in the region if nuclear talks break down and the US launches attacks.

“Some officials on the other side threaten conflict if negotiations don’t come to fruition. If a conflict is imposed on us … all US bases are within our reach, and we will boldly target them in host countries,” Nasirzadeh told reporters.

Washington and Tehran have held five rounds of nuclear talks since April as Trump seeks a deal that would place constraints on Iran’s uranium enrichment.

Some of this treat I guess is from old age from some of old women. I guess is old mentality and may not necessarily mean evil... But which ever one, a man shud always stay far from his mother. Staying together may breed breakaway. But some wife are intolerable too

Kemetian:
That is your British colonised head talking.

Equating the science of divination with ''satan''.

Ignorant nonsense.

How does Divination relate to science?? An Ancient practice of witchcraft that borrows vision to see the future?? Please go for more research and dont deceive the unaware people, unless your among them?

Let me tell you guys how these things work

Most of the big churches u see today that claimed to receive messages from God in the name of prophecy actually received those messages from Satan. That is why they can never give u solution to ur problems.

What they use to see vision is the spirit of Divination. 90% do use juju.

God can never Prophesy to u without showing u the solution to ur problems

Most people that go for this prophesy always comeback to their house with bigger problems instead of solution

Read your bible and meditate on it. Avoid seeking for a solution where their is non

This is what we call fruit of my labour

Your business.....

It is a Haram
