Successor Chosen? Iran’s Assembly of Experts Reaches Consensus Amid Israeli Warnings
Reuters reports that the clerical body tasked with selecting Iran’s next Supreme Leader is close to reaching an agreement. The new leader will succeed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in recent US-Israeli strikes.
Citing the Mehr News Agency, Reuters noted that the update came from Ayatollah Mohammadmehdi Mirbaqeri, a member of the Assembly of Experts, on Sunday. While progress has been made, the agency quoted him stating that "some obstacles" still need to be resolved. On Saturday, a senior cleric within the Assembly indicated that members would meet "within one day" to finalize the selection.
A Non-Traditional Selection Process Iranian media reports suggest a minor disagreement within the group regarding the final announcement. The debate centers on whether the decision requires a formal physical meeting or if it can be announced without traditional formalities. Ayatollah Mohsen Heidari Alekasir, another member of the Assembly of Experts, stated in a video published by Nournews that a physical meeting for a final vote is currently impossible given the prevailing circumstances.
He revealed that a candidate has already been selected based on the late leader's advice to choose someone whom the "enemy hates" rather than someone they praise. "Even the ‘Great Satan’ (the U.S.) has mentioned his name," Alekasir remarked regarding the chosen successor. This comes days after U.S. President Donald Trump described Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba, as an "unacceptable" choice.
Israel Issues Stern Warning Meanwhile, the Israeli military has issued a direct warning to Iran, vowing to pursue any successor to Ayatollah Khamenei.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the IDF’s Farsi-language account addressed the Assembly of Experts: "The Assembly of Experts, which has not convened for decades, will soon gather in the city of Qom. We want to inform you that the hand of the State of Israel will continue to pursue every successor and every person seeking to appoint one.
We warn all those intending to participate in the selection meeting: we will not hesitate to target you. This is a warning!" Trump Criticizes UK’s Starmer Over Involvement In a separate development, U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized the UK government, accusing Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer of trying to "join a war after we’ve already won." In a social media post, Trump claimed the UK was "giving serious thought" to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East, only for the U.S. to inform them they were not needed.
Downing Street has yet to respond to these claims. However, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) confirmed that one of the UK’s two carriers is currently on "advanced readiness." Trump’s comments follow the arrival of U.S. bomber jets in the UK as the U.S. begins using British bases for "specific defensive operations." "The United Kingdom... finally gave serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers... That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them anymore—but we will remember," Trump wrote on Truth Social. Speaking later on Air Force One, he added, "It’s not the right time. It would have made sense if we had them two weeks ago."
The UK’s Stance The UK government maintains that it has no interest in joining a wider offensive campaign in the Middle East. While Sir Keir Starmer did not address Trump directly, he wrote in the Sunday Mirror that "at moments like this, the country needs seriousness, not political games." "While opposition parties seek to undermine Britain on the world stage, my Labour government is focused on protecting British people at home and abroad," Starmer stated.

Why Obi Cubana is still with us — EFCC Obi Cubana The interrogation of socialite and businessman, Obinna Iyiegbu aka Obi Cabana, entered the third day, on Wednesday, without any hint of when he would perfect his bail and leave the anti-graft agency in Abuja. An Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, confirmed to Vanguard that the businessman was still being grilled and that his release was hinged on his ability to perfect his bail conditions. The official did now, however, give details of what the businessman was expected to do to satisfy the bail conditions. “There are many things for which the businessman is being interrogated and until he meets the conditions for his bail, the interrogation would continue,” the official said, without explaining what the issues linked to Cubana are.

Ilo Frank Da Francis Interview
Manchester United thrashed Bournemouth 5 goals to 2
Greenwood, 18, equalised for the hosts after Junior Stanislas' shock 15th-minute opener before scoring United's fourth with a superb effort after half-time when he took on Diego Rico on the edge of the area and cut a right-footed shot back across goal into the far corner. Marcus Rashford had put United 2-1 in front from the penalty spot and Anthony Martial then increased the advantage with a brilliant curling effort into the top corner just before the break. In an action-packed game, Joshua King pulled one back for Bournemouth with a penalty four minutes after the interval, but Eddie Howe's men crumbled to an eighth successive away defeat after Arnaut Danjuma had what would have been an equaliser disallowed for offside. Bruno Fernandes scored United's fifth with a free-kick from the edge of the area. Reaction from Old Trafford and the rest of Saturday's Premier League games United front three outscoring Liverpool's It was the first time United had scored five in...

No come Lekki, or we go fight’, Portable warns TG Omori
No come Lekki, or we go fight’, Portable warns TG Omori Nigerian street singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has reacted to TG Omori’s request to direct a music video for him. This is coming after TG Omori’s Tuesday concession to the musician’s requests following repeated daily attacks on social media. He requested a song from Portable so that he could make the video, but he did not specify if it would be free or if the $50,000 cost would be waived. In response to the proposal, the pair started an Instagram live session on Wednesday. Portable bemoaned TG Omori’s excessive costs and accused the director of once again disliking him. He then jokingly warned TG Omori not to travel to Lekki or Sango for fear for his safety because a fight would likely break out if they met. In response, TG Omori clarified that it wasn’t personal and that his main goal is to make money. The pair’s disagreement did not end there, on Tuesday, as Portable dragged TG Omori, for sidelining hi...

Naira scarcity: Buhari indicts Bank CEOs
Naira scarcity: Buhari indicts Bank CEOs The President said he had noted reports about cash shortages and hardship on local businesses and ordinary people and gave assurances that the remaining seven of the 10-day extension will be used to crack down on whatever stood in the way of successful implementation. “I will revert to the CBN and the Minting Company. There will be a decision one way or the other in the remaining seven days of the 10-day extension,” the President assured. The Governors told the President that, while they agreed that his decision on the renewal of currency was good and they were fully in support, its execution had been botched and their constituents were becoming increasingly upset. They told the President that, as leaders of the government and party in their different states, they were becoming anxious about a slump in the economy and the series of elections that are coming. They requested the President to use his powers to direct the concurrent use of the ...
