US Vows to Defend Israel After Iran Launches 180 Missiles
The United States has firmly stated its commitment to protecting its forces and interests from Iranian aggression.
Vice President Kamala Harris emphasized this stance by reaffirming the U.S. dedication to ensuring Israel’s security during these turbulent times.
In a recent post on X, Harris condemned Iran’s “reckless and brazen attack against Israel,” which she characterized as a significant escalation.
She expressed gratitude for the successful defence efforts, highlighting that Israel, with U.S. support, managed to thwart the attack, ultimately saving numerous lives.
Harris reiterated her unwavering commitment to Israel’s security, assuring that the U.S. will not hesitate to defend its forces and interests against any threats posed by Iran.
On Tuesday, Iran escalated the conflict by launching over 180 ballistic missiles aimed at Israel.
Fortunately, the Israeli military reported that there were no injuries as a result of the missile assault.
Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, an Israeli military spokesperson, confirmed that many of the incoming missiles were intercepted by Israel’s robust air defence systems.
However, he noted that some missiles did successfully land in central and southern parts of the country, raising concerns about the ongoing conflict’s potential impact on Israeli citizens.
As tensions rise, the world watches closely, hoping for stability in a region increasingly fraught with danger.
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
