Operation True Promise 3 - TEHRAN

Following the killing of it's top officials, Iran may have reportedly started their payback retaliation revenge against revenge.

Stay tuned!!!

ElSudani:


Scare mongering, you think the Iranians are not aware of what they can or cannot do?
What Israel has done in this instance is to attack another sovereign nation without provocation.
You can start a war but you can't always determine how it will end.

👌 Very apt, succinct and straight to the point 👉 🎯💯

Israel is still fighting with Hamas. Russia is still fighting Ukraine.

Easy to start, but finishing...

World War III: Iran Vows Massive Revenge After Israeli Attack Kills Top Military Officials

On June 13, 2025, tensions in the Middle East reached a boiling point. Israel launched a major attack on Iran, targeting its nuclear facilities and killing top military leaders, including General Hossein Salami, the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps. Iran has responded with a wave of over 100 drones aimed at Israel, and its leaders have promised a “severe” and “destructive” retaliation. The world is now watching closely, worried that this clash could spiral into a larger conflict, maybe even something as big as World War 3.

Israel has long seen Iran’s nuclear program as a huge threat. They believe Iran is trying to build a nuclear bomb, which could be used against them. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the strikes “Operation Rising Lion,” saying they were needed to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power. The attack hit Iran’s nuclear sites, missile factories, and military bases, and it killed important figures like Salami and two nuclear scientists. Israel says it acted alone, without U.S. help, but the U.S. was aware of the plan. This bold move has put Iran in a tough spot, and they’re not likely to stay quiet.


Iran’s response so far has been a drone attack, with over 100 drones launched toward Israel. Israel’s military says it’s intercepting these drones, and some were stopped outside Israeli territory. But Iran’s leaders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have warned of a much stronger reaction. Iran has promised a “history-making” response that could go beyond what they’ve done before, like their missile attacks on Israel in 2024. Iran’s military is weaker than it used to be—Israel has damaged its air defenses and weakened its allies like Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza—but Iran still has missiles, drones, and proxy groups that could cause trouble. They’ve also started military exercises and opened a new uranium enrichment site, showing they’re ready to escalate.


So, how could Iran fight back? Iran has a few options. First, they could launch more drones and missiles directly at Israel. They have about 2,000 missiles that can reach Israel, though Israel’s air defenses are some of the best in the world. A big missile attack could overwhelm those defenses, especially if Iran uses drones to distract them. Second, Iran could use its proxy groups—militias in Iraq, Syria, or Yemen—to attack Israel or U.S. bases in the region. These groups are weaker now, but they could still cause damage. Third, Iran could target U.S. interests, like military bases in Iraq or ships in the Persian Gulf, since Iran sees the U.S. as Israel’s main er. Finally, Iran could speed up its nuclear program, making more enriched uranium to get closer to a bomb. This would be a long-term move, but it would scare Israel and others.


Now, let’s talk about how this could grow into a bigger conflict. If Iran hits back hard—say, with a massive missile attack or by targeting U.S. bases—it could pull other countries into the fight. The U.S. has already warned Iran not to attack its forces, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. wasn’t involved in Israel’s strikes. But if Iran hits U.S. targets, America might have to respond, maybe with airstrikes or more. This could lead to a cycle of attacks, with each side hitting harder. Other countries could get involved too. Saudi Arabia and Jordan have condemned Israel’s attack, and Pakistan has said it stands with Iran. If these nations or others like Russia or China start ing Iran, either with weapons or direct action, the conflict could spread.


Could this really become World War 3? It’s possible, but it’s not certain. A global war would need major powers like the U.S., Russia, or China to get directly involved, not just send weapons or money. Right now, the U.S. is trying to avoid a bigger fight. President Donald Trump has been pushing for nuclear talks with Iran, and he’s said he prefers diplomacy over war. But if Iran attacks U.S. forces or if Israel keeps striking, the U.S. might have no choice but to jump in. Russia and China have ties with Iran, and they might step in to counter the U.S. or Israel. For example, Russia could send more weapons to Iran, like it did with air defense systems in the past. If NATO countries back the U.S. and Israel, and Russia or China back Iran, you could see a much bigger conflict.


Another factor is the region’s importance. The Middle East has a lot of oil, and fighting there could mess up global trade. When Israel attacked, oil prices jumped because people worried about Iran retaliating in places like the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for oil ships. If Iran blocks that route or attacks oil fields, it could hurt the world economy, pushing countries like the U.S., China, or Europe to get involved to protect their interests. This could make the conflict spread beyond the Middle East.


But there are reasons why this might not become World War 3. First, Iran’s military is weaker than before. Israel’s attacks last year took out key defenses, and Iran’s allies like Hezbollah are not as strong. This might limit how much damage Iran can do. Second, world leaders are calling for calm. Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer and New Zealand’s Prime Minister Christopher Luxon have urged both sides to de-escalate. Even the U.S., while ing Israel, doesn’t want a full-scale war. Third, Iran might choose a limited response, like it did after Israel’s strikes in 2024, to avoid a bigger fight it can’t win. If both sides pull back, the conflict could stay contained.


Still, the risks are real. Israel’s attack was a big escalation, and Iran’s leaders are under pressure to hit back hard to save face. If they overdo it, or if Israel strikes again, the cycle of attacks could get out of control. The loss of top Iranian commanders makes it harder for Iran to plan a smart response, which could lead to mistakes. Plus, the nuclear issue is a wild card—Israel attacked to stop Iran’s nuclear program, but if Iran pushes forward with it, Israel or the U.S. might feel forced to act again.

For regular people, this all feels scary. In Israel, folks are stocking up on food and water, expecting more attacks. In Iran, people are angry but also worried about more hardship. The rest of the world is holding its breath, hoping this doesn’t spiral into something bigger. The chances of World War 3 depend on what happens next. If Iran’s retaliation is small and Israel stops attacking, things might cool down. But if either side goes too far, or if other countries get pulled in, the conflict could grow fast. Right now, it’s a dangerous game of who blinks first, and everyone’s hoping cooler heads win out.


In short, Iran’s retaliation could escalate things if they hit U.S. or Israeli targets hard, pulling in other nations. A global war is possible if major powers like the U.S., Russia, or China get directly involved, especially over oil or nuclear issues. But diplomacy and Iran’s weakened state might keep things from going that far. The world needs restraint to avoid a catastrophe.

🔘Elon Musk says Trump is in the Epstein Files, wants to form his own party

The Explosive Escalation: Musk’s Epstein Files Bombshell

The once-unbreakable alliance between tech mogul Elon Musk and President Donald Trump has imploded in spectacular fashion, with Musk unleashing a jaw-dropping accusation: “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump
is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” The post, shared on Musk’s X platform on June 5, 2025, sent shockwaves across the internet, wiping $150 billion off Tesla’s market value and fueling a firestorm of speculation about Trump’s ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender.

This isn’t just a personal feud—it’s a political earthquake. Musk, who spent nearly $300 million backing Trump’s 2024 campaign, has now called for Trump’s impeachment and reposted a ’s demand for his resignation, suggesting Vice President J.D. Vance take over. Adding fuel to the fire, Musk’s X poll asking, “Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?” has garnered millions of responses, hinting at a bold new vision for America’s future.


The Epstein Files: What’s at Stake?

Musk’s claim that Trump’s name appears in the unreleased Jeffrey Epstein files—documents tied to the financier’s sex-trafficking investigation—has reignited demands for transparency. While Trump was photographed with Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in the 1990s and once called him a “terrific guy,” he has denied any deeper connection, stating in 2024, “I was never on Epstein’s plane, or at his ‘stupid’ island.” Yet Musk’s allegation, though unverified, has sparked a frenzy. He followed up with, “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out,” doubling down on his claim.

The Epstein files, partially released by Attorney General Pam Bondi in February 2025, remain heavily redacted, fueling conspiracy theories. Two House Democrats have since demanded Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel expedite the release of all files, citing Musk’s posts as evidence of potential suppression by Trump. On X, reactions range from shock to skepticism, with one noting, “If Trump was in there, the deep state would’ve blackmailed him not to run,” while another warned Musk of a “MASSIVE lawsuit.”

Trump Fires Back

Trump, speaking from the Oval Office alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, didn’t mince words. “I’m very disappointed in Elon,” he said, accusing Musk of “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and claiming his opposition to the “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act” stemmed from its cuts to electric vehicle subsidies—a blow to Tesla. Trump even threatened to terminate federal contracts with Tesla and SpaceX, a move that could cost Musk billions. In a biting jab, Trump mocked Musk’s recent black eye, asking why he didn’t “cover it up.”

The bill, a sprawling package of tax cuts for the wealthy, increased spending on defense and immigration enforcement, and deficit-ballooning measures, has been Musk’s primary target. He called it a “disgusting abomination” and claimed it would add trillions to the national debt. This policy rift, combined with Musk’s Epstein accusation, has shattered their once-close partnership, with Trump lamenting, “I don’t know if we will have a great relationship anymore.”

Musk’s Centrist Dream

Amid this chaos, Musk’s call for a new political party representing the “80% in the middle” is gaining viral momentum. Posts on X show a groundswell of , with s declaring, “Musk’s party could be the reset America needs!” and “A centrist party? Count me in!” Others are skeptical, warning that Musk’s controversial stances—on immigration, free speech, and his own alleged Epstein ties—could doom the effort. What might this party look like?

Musk’s influence is undeniable. His $277 million in 2024 campaign contributions and X’s role in amplifying pro-Trump voices were pivotal to the election outcome. Now, his pivot to a centrist movement could draw young voters, tech enthusiasts, and moderates disillusioned with both parties. But the two-party system’s stranglehold, combined with Musk’s polarizing persona, poses steep challenges. X s note his past endorsements of far-right figures and a 2014 photo with Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell could undermine his credibility.

The MAGA Meltdown and Beyond

The feud has fractured the MAGA coalition. Some Republicans, like Sen. Pete Ricketts, defend Trump, noting he banned Epstein from his Palm Beach Golf Club. Others, wary of the bill’s fiscal impact, quietly align with Musk’s critique. House Speaker Mike Johnson is reportedly scrambling to mediate, saying he’s “trying to call Elon now.” Meanwhile, Trump’s silence on the Epstein claim—avoiding shouted reporter questions at a White House event—has only fueled speculation.

The market fallout is stark: Tesla shares plummeted 15% to $284.58, and Trump’s Media & Technology Group (DJT) dropped 8% to $20.21. Crypto Twitter lit up with memes, one joking, “Tesla shareholders watching Elon tweet today,” alongside a shocked reaction from analyst Benjamin Cowen.

What’s Next for Musk’s Revolution?

Musk’s Epstein allegation and party proposal have turned a policy dispute into a cultural flashpoint. If he pursues this new party, X will be its launchpad, leveraging Musk’s 210 million followers to build a movement. Success hinges on his ability to unite a fractured electorate while dodging legal and political pitfalls, including scrutiny over his own Epstein connections—he was subpoenaed in 2023 over suspected ties to Epstein’s financial dealings.

On X, the sentiment is electric: “Elon just declared war on Trump AND the two-party system,” one posted. Another quipped, “Musk’s party vs. MAGA vs. Dems? Grab the popcorn.” Whether this is a billionaire’s tantrum or the birth of a political revolution, one thing is certain: Musk’s “big bomb” has detonated, and the fallout could reshape America’s future.

Functionality.

Till today, the spark 30c sometimes starts operating itself, basically locking you out until you press the power button. Again, once the Spark 30c comes in with smoke, it starts malfunctioning.

Despite all the updates to fix the bug that Tecno has been releasing, the ish is still there. Shows up from time to time. If you can manage it (it's not that bad), then go for the Tecno. It has an additional 4 GIG RAM, making it a total of 12GIG RAM as opposed to 8GIG RAM for Redmi 4c.

AboveTheRim:
Hey guys!!

I have gotten recommendations from several phone enthusiasts here but I want more informed opinions. Which of these midrange devices should I go for on Saturday?

I. Redmi 14c 8gb/265rom
II. Tecno 30c 8gb/265rom
III. Infinix 50i 8gb/265rom

Please I want more informed opinions especially from those using them. I don't want to make a mistake. I have watched several of the comparisons on YouTube but I want personal opinions especially from the s.

Thank you. I'll be in the comments

I use both Redmi 14c 8gb/265rom and
Tecno 30c 8gb/265rom.

I will tell you to go for Redmi. However, the 5G service on the Tecno Spark 30c makes it the better option.

This war is not ending any time soon.

So ? What can you do about it asides rant online ?

You are not serious

Since you are elevating consciousness, if Islam and Christianity have their own section, justice and equity also demands that Traditional Religion section and Nonreligious section should be created too.

It's actually an insult to classify traditional religious and Nonreligious people as "etc..." under the Christianity section, as if they're the same.

Recent accusations from the U.S., led by AFRICOM Commander General Michael Langley, have sparked outrage, with many comparing the rhetoric to the prelude to Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi’s downfall. The claim? That Traoré is misusing Burkina Faso’s gold reserves to prop up his regime, a charge that’s ignited accusations of a U.S.-orchestrated smear campaign.

In April 2025, during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, General Langley, the first Black commander of AFRICOM, alleged that Traoré is diverting Burkina Faso’s mineral wealth to secure his junta rather than serve his people. The statement, echoed in posts across X, has been met with fury. One Nigerian wrote, “Langley’s being used to give Traoré the Gaddafi treatment. They smear, then they strike. Africa’s awake now.” Another from Ghana added, “The U.S. wants Traoré gone because he kicked out and rejected AFRICOM. Langley’s just their mouthpiece.” The sentiment is clear: many see Langley’s role as a betrayal, a Black general allegedly fronting a Western agenda to destabilize a leader who dares defy the old order.

In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing trade conflict between the world’s two largest economies, China announced today that it will impose a 125% tariff on all American imports, effective April 12, 2025. The move comes as a direct response to recent U.S. tariff hikes on Chinese goods, which have soared to 145% under the Trump istration’s aggressive trade policies. This tit-for-tat retaliation marks a new peak in tensions, threatening to disrupt global supply chains and deepen fears of economic fallout.

The announcement from Beijing’s Ministry of Finance was blunt, accusing the U.S. of “unilateral bullying” and violating international trade norms. “The U.S. imposition of abnormally high tariffs on China is a numbers game with no economic sense,” a ministry spokesperson stated, signaling that China may cap its tariff increases at this level, even if the U.S. pushes further. The statement suggested Beijing views the trade war as increasingly futile, with one official calling U.S. actions “a joke in the history of the world economy.”

China’s decision follows a series of rapid-fire tariff exchanges. Earlier this week, Beijing raised duties on U.S. goods to 84% after the White House implemented a 104% levy on Chinese imports. President Trump, citing China’s “lack of respect” and unfair trade practices, upped the ante to 125%, later clarified as 145% for most goods due to pre-existing levies tied to fentanyl concerns. China’s latest move matches the U.S. rate, targeting everything from American soybeans and fuels to electronics and pharmaceuticals.

The impact on global markets was immediate. European and Asian stock indexes dipped, with investors bracing for higher consumer prices and supply chain disruptions. In the U.S., analysts warn that American consumers will bear the brunt, as companies like Target and Best Buy have already signaled price hikes on goods ranging from avocados to smartphones. “These tariffs are effectively a tax on American households,” said Kathy Bostjancic, chief economist at Nationwide Mutual, estimating an additional $1,900 per household annually in costs.

China’s economy, already grappling with a property crisis and sluggish consumer demand, faces its own challenges. The tariff war could shave up to 2.5 percentage points off China’s GDP growth in 2025, according to Macquarie Group estimates. Yet Beijing appears resolute, bolstered by efforts to pivot toward other trade partners like Brazil and Australia, who stand to gain market share in sectors like agriculture. President Xi Jinping, in talks with Spain’s prime minister, called for global resistance to “bullying” trade practices, hinting at a broader diplomatic push to counter U.S. influence.

The U.S. response has been defiant. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dismissed China’s retaliation as a “loser” strategy, insisting that Trump’s policies prioritize “Main Street” over Wall Street. Trump himself expressed confidence in negotiations, claiming a personal rapport with Xi could lead to a deal. “I’m sure we’ll work out something good for both countries,” he said at a White House briefing. However, with no direct talks reported since his inauguration, prospects for de-escalation remain uncertain.

Beyond tariffs, China has tightened export controls on rare earths and restricted 18 U.S. companies from its market, moves that could ripple through tech and defense industries. Meanwhile, the U.S. has paused tariff hikes on other nations for 90 days, focusing its ire on China. This selective approach has raised concerns about a prolonged U.S.-China showdown, with Goldman Sachs pegging the recession risk at 45%.

Netflix Acquires Rights to Nigerian Sci-Fi Epic "Muur Chronicles" for Blockbuster movie!

In a groundbreaking move, Netflix has announced its acquisition of the highly anticipated Nigerian sci-fi novel Muur Chronicles for a multi-million-dollar film adaptation. The streaming giant reportedly beat out major Hollywood studios in a fierce bidding war, recognizing the novel’s unique blend of African mythology, futuristic technology, and high-octane espionage.

Sources close to the production reveal that pre-production is already underway, with filming set to take place in Abuja, Lagos, and select locations in outer space (yes, you read that right!). Director Ryan Coogler, known for Black Panther, is rumored to be in talks to helm the project, while Lupita Nyong’o and John Boyega are among the A-list stars eyed for key roles.

Netflix has also hinted at plans for a Muur Chronicles extended universe, potentially spanning multiple spin-off series and games. In response to the announcement, fans have flooded social media with excitement, with many already debating who should play Steve, the novel’s enigmatic protagonist.

More details to come…

Rubbish. MTN will soon realise this is not how price increase is done. For instance, 50% increase of 2000 for 15gig is 3,000. The increase to 6000 is ridiculous and amounts to 400% increase.

Shey FCC says they're here to protect consumers. Oya na.



Time to port from MTN. Nonsense and ingredients.
