The Israeli envoy has accused Iran of providing support for terrorism in Nigeria and other countries.

-

In a series of recent statements as of March 2026, the Israeli Ambassador to Nigeria, Michael Freeman, has explicitly accused the Iranian government of sponsoring terrorism and extremist groups within Nigeria.

The primary allegations made by the ambassador include:

Sponsorship of the IMN: Freeman claimed there is "documented proof" that the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), a prominent Shia organization, is sponsored and backed by the Iranian regime. He cited social media posts from Iran's Supreme Leader as evidence of this support.

Regional Destabilization: The ambassador warned that Iran is actively working to destabilize not just Nigeria, but the wider West African and Sahel regions.

Global Terror Network: He described Iran as an "extremist terrorist regime" that funds proxies worldwide, comparing the radical terrorism seen in Nigeria to that faced by Israel.

Offer of Assistance: Freeman reiterated Israel's willingness to partner with Nigeria to tackle these security threats and instability.

Response and Rebuttals

These accusations have triggered strong denials from the involved parties:

Iranian Government: The Iranian Ambassador to Nigeria, Gholamreza Mahdavi Raja, dismissed the claims as "entirely unfounded" and labeled them as a propaganda campaign designed to distract from Israel's own actions.

Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN): The group issued a denial, stating the allegations are false and intended to create internal conflict among Nigerian Muslims.

Nigerian Government: While the Federal Government of Nigeria has expressed grave concern over the escalation of hostilities between Israel and Iran, it has focused its official statements on calling for de-escalation and diplomacy rather than confirming the ambassador's specific terrorism claims.

  White House   press secretary   Karoline Leavitt    on Wednesday has criticized  the media, Democrats, and likely some   Republicans   in the House and Senate for trying to “sow chaos” in the White House with their response to the   Signal   text chain debacle. Leavitt was asked by a reporter if she would definitively say that no one would be fired after a journalist was accidentally added to a Signal thread with top U.S. officials discussing military plans. Leavitt said, "What I can say definitively is what I just spoke to the president about, and he continues to have confidence in his  national security team ." Meanwhile, CNN's Collins attempted to ask the press secretary a follow-up question, but was quickly cut off by Leavitt, who called on another reporter in the room.

  President Trump signed an executive order targeting the ticket reselling industry during a signing ceremony from the White House. The new order will allow the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to go after the reselling industry, which has used computer bots and algorithms to buy large blocks of tickets and resell them at extremely higher prices.  Musician Kid Rock, who also appeared at the Republican National Convention last July, was present at the signing in the Oval Office.  The president also took several questions from the press, including on the possibility of additional sanctions on Russia, immigration, and tariffs. “I’ve spoken to him over the years about it and it bothers him,” Trump said about Kid Rock during the executive order’s signing. “It bothers a lot of other artists. They go out with a $100 ticket, and it sells for $2,000 the following night.” Trump admitted that he hadn’t known much about price gouging, “but I checked it out, and it is a...
