Mighty Israel hit by Iranian missiles and drones tonight. Where are those who said Israel could not be hit? Doubt there will be much left of the Zionist state by the time this is all over. pic.twitter.com/FMdNw23dlE

Iran described it as the beginning of its “crushing response” to Israeli attacks on the country on Friday.
Former Nigerian Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode has emphatically endorsed Iran’s launch of hundreds of ballistic missiles against Israel, describing the attack as “just the beginning” of Tehran’s “crushing response” to Israeli airstrikes that killed Iranian military leaders and civilians. In a social media post, Fani-Kayode condemned Israel’s actions as “unprovoked” violations of international law and accused the U.S. of luring Iran into “a false sense of security” while enabling Israeli aggression . He asserted: “Iran MUST and WILL retaliate… by the time this is all over there may be no Zionist state ” .
Fani-Kayode, a chieftain of Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), framed Iran’s retaliation as a moral victory for oppressed nations, claiming it “inspired millions worldwide” by challenging Israel’s “barbarity and bullying” . He dismissed Israel’s subsequent limited drone counterstrike—which Iran intercepted—as cowardly, mocking: “Poor little Israel… tucked your little Jewish tails between your legs and ran away” . His rhetoric escalated further after Israeli strikes killed IRGC commander Hossein Salami, with him declaring: “The mother of all wars finally begins” .
