Iran Threatens More Strikes on US After Qatar Attack and Gaza Crisis
Tensions in the Middle East have taken another dangerous turn as Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a strong warning to the United States, making it clear that Iran is ready to strike again if provoked. His statement comes days after Iran launched missiles at a U.S. military base in Qatar, which he described as a clear message and a victory for Iran in what he called an ongoing battle for respect and sovereignty.
Khamenei, in his first speech since the latest round of attacks, dismissed reports claiming that Iran’s nuclear program had been crippled by U.S. airstrikes. He insisted that Iran’s capabilities remain intact and that the American attacks failed to achieve their goals. According to him, the missile strike on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, a key U.S. military hub, wasn’t a retaliation but a calculated warning meant to show Washington that Iran will defend itself when pushed.
“If they attack again, they will face consequences far beyond what they’ve seen,” Khamenei stated firmly, making it clear that Iran’s military is prepared to escalate the situation if necessary.
Meanwhile, Iran’s parliament is wasting no time. Lawmakers have already moved to reduce the country’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This comes after growing frustration in Tehran that international bodies, especially the UN nuclear watchdog, have failed to condemn the U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites.

Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
