Iran Strikes Israel With Missiles Sparking Fears of World War 3

Published

on


The possibility of World War 3 is becoming a trending concern as Iran has escalated its conflict by ending its proxy war and launching a barrage of ballistic missiles directly into Israel.

This sudden and intense strike has overwhelmed Israel’s famous Iron Dome defence system, which is renowned for its ability to intercept incoming threats.

The Iranian government claims this offensive is a direct retaliation for the deaths of Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah and a prominent Hamas leader, allegedly at the hands of Israeli forces.

The situation has thrown the region into chaos, with both sides bracing for what might come next.

Iran has issued a stern warning that if Israel retaliates against this first wave of attacks, they will unleash a “crushing attack” as part of a second wave.

The Iranian government has also urged its citizens to prepare for the possibility of retaliatory strikes from Israel.

Meanwhile, tensions have escalated on a global scale, with nations across the world watching the conflict closely.

In a surprising move, U.S. President Joe Biden has instructed the U.S. military to intervene by attempting to intercept the missiles Iran has fired at Israel.

This action, which seems to contradict America’s longstanding alliance with Israel, has sparked widespread discussion.

The U.S. military is set to shoot down any Iranian missiles within range, adding a new dimension to an already volatile situation.

However, Israeli intelligence appears to have anticipated this attack. In response, the Israeli government urged civilians to seek refuge in bomb shelters as the barrage began.

After the initial wave of strikes, an official notice was released, allowing civilians to emerge from the shelters, although the attack did lead to some Israeli casualties.

Adding to the tragedy, CCTV footage has surfaced showing Iranian militants gunning down unarmed Israeli civilians, further inflaming tensions.

As of now, Israel has not launched a counter-attack, choosing instead to monitor the situation closely.

Meanwhile, the United States is keeping a close watch on how events unfold.

Given that Israel and the U.S. are key allies, there are concerns about how this could pull the U.S. deeper into the conflict.

On the other side, Iran maintains close ties with Russia, which raises fears that Russia might feel compelled to support Iran, similar to how the U.S. has backed Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia.

These dynamics have led to widespread fears of a broader conflict, with many worrying that a third world war could be on the horizon.

The situation remains fluid, with the world anxiously awaiting what may come next.

“No Other Candidate Brings What I Bring to the Table” – Peter Obi Says

Peter Obi, former Labour Party presidential candidate, has declared that democracy no longer exists in Nigeria. Speaking in an interview with Arise TV, Obi pointed to the recent Edo State governorship election and the unfolding political crisis in Rivers State as clear signs that democratic principles have collapsed.

Obi condemned President Tinubu’s decision to declare a state of emergency in Rivers over tensions between Governor Sim Fubara and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike. The President’s move included suspending the governor, his deputy, and the entire State Assembly for six months, replacing them with a Sole Administrator.

Obi criticized the decision, arguing that no one should govern without a mandate from the people. “There is no democracy in Nigeria today,” he said. When asked why he plans to contest the 2027 presidential election, Obi said the fight for real democracy must continue. “Look at the Edo election — does that look like democracy? Rivers State buried the whole idea,” he said.

“You can’t fix problems by breaking the rules,” Obi added. “I’m still committed to building a better Nigeria. I have the background, the experience, and I’ve served in both the corporate world and as a governor. No other candidate brings what I bring to the table.”

WAEC Says English Exam Was Not Cancelled and Warns Against Fake News

WAEC has debunked rumours that the English Language paper written on May 28 was cancelled. The exam, part of the ongoing WASSCE for school candidates, faced serious delays at several centres across the country. In some places, the paper meant to start by 9 a.m. didn’t begin until late at night, leaving students to write under poor conditions, with many using phone flashlights and torchlights to read their questions.

WAEC explained that it received reports of a possible paper leak and had to act fast to protect the credibility of the exam. But contrary to claims making rounds on social media, the council made it clear the paper was not cancelled. In a statement by Moyosola Adesina, the acting Head of Public Affairs, WAEC said a press release dated May 30 announcing the cancellation was fake and not from the council.

She said WAEC doesn’t know where the false information came from, but suspects it was shared by individuals trying to create panic and damage the council’s image. The Head of WAEC’s National Office, Amos Dangut, also commented on the situation, saying the late-night exams held in some areas were far below the council’s standards.
