The United States has carried out air strikes against ISIL (ISIS) targets in northwest Nigeria, a move announced directly by President Donald Trump. The confirmation came in a late-night post on his Truth Social platform, revealing a significant military action in the region.
Trump's Confirmation
In a post on Thursday evening, Trump stated, “Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria.” The announcement framed the operation as a direct response to recent violence in the area.
Rationale: Protecting Christians
The president said the strikes were retaliation for attacks on Christians. He claimed ISIL fighters had “targeted and viciously” killed “primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries!” Trump added, “I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
