Iran Denounces Sanctions as “Unjust” and “Illegal”
The Iranian government has strongly condemned recent sanctions imposed against it, labeling them both “unjust” and “illegal.”
In an official statement, Tehran urged the international community not to comply with or implement the restrictions, stressing that such measures are politically motivated and harmful to global cooperation.
Iran argues that sanctions unfairly target its economy and people, while doing little to promote peace or stability in the region. Officials further called on nations to uphold principles of fairness and international law, warning that continued enforcement could deepen divisions and undermine diplomacy.
The latest response reflects Iran’s ongoing defiance in the face of Western pressure, as tensions remain high over issues ranging from nuclear policy to regional security.
It’s About Time’: Trump Confirms He Will Join Gathering of U.S. Military Leaders
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that he will participate in an upcoming gathering of U.S. military leaders, describing the decision as “about time.”
The move is being closely watched by political observers, as Trump continues to position himself at the center of debates over national security, defense spending, and military leadership. His attendance could also signal efforts to strengthen ties with military circles amid growing speculation about his future political ambitions.
Supporters say his presence underscores a commitment to honoring and engaging with America’s armed forces, while critics argue it may be part of a broader strategy to bolster his influence in defense and political spheres.
As anticipation builds, the gathering is expected to draw attention to the intersection of U.S. politics and military affairs, a space where Trump remains a polarizing but influential figure.
Cardi B Tells Ayra Starr Her Newborn Must Have a Nigerian Name 🇳🇬
American rap superstar Cardi B has once again sparked conversation across social media after revealing to Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr that her newborn child must bear a Nigerian name.
The Grammy-winning artist went further, stating that she is seriously considering relocating with her family to Nigeria. She praised the country’s vibrant lifestyle, cultural beauty, and raw musical talent, noting that she would be proud if her son one day grew up in Nigeria and rose to become an Afrobeats superstar. 🎶🔥
Fans have been quick to react, with some embracing her warm words about Nigeria, while others jokingly cautioned her to be ready for the “full Nigerian experience”—from the bustling energy of Lagos to the daily realities that locals face. 😏😂
Whether playful or serious, Cardi B’s comments once again highlight the growing global admiration for Nigeria’s music scene and culture, as Afrobeats continues to dominate worldwide charts.
Afghanistan’s Bagram Airbase: Why Is Trump Desperate to Take It Back?
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has sparked fresh debate by calling for the reclamation of Afghanistan’s Bagram Airbase, a facility long regarded as one of America’s most strategically significant military sites in the region.
Bagram, once the largest U.S. military base in Afghanistan, played a central role during the 20-year war on terror, serving as a hub for air operations, intelligence, and logistical support. Following the U.S. withdrawal in 2021, the base was abandoned and later taken over by Taliban forces.
Trump argues that reclaiming Bagram is critical for U.S. national security, particularly given its proximity to both China and Iran. Analysts suggest that his renewed focus on the base underscores concerns about growing regional instability and the shifting balance of global power.
Critics, however, note that any attempt to retake Bagram would come with enormous diplomatic, military, and financial risks—potentially reigniting conflict in a region where the U.S. has already paid a heavy price.
The debate over Bagram highlights the enduring symbolic and strategic weight of Afghanistan in U.S. foreign policy and the complex challenges tied to America’s legacy in the region.
