Iran 🇮🇷 Warns Kenya 🇰🇪 Against Backing US-Israel Actions in Escalating Middle East Conflict
In a sharp diplomatic statement from its embassy in Nairobi, Iran urged the Kenyan government and public to stay neutral and avoid any support for US and Israeli military actions in the Gulf region.
The Iranian Embassy dismissed reports claiming the Strait of Hormuz has been closed as "false news and manipulated narratives" spread by US and Israeli "propaganda machinery" to distort public opinion and raise fears over oil prices and shipping costs affecting countries like Kenya.
The statement warns against any alignment—political, logistical, or otherwise—with what Tehran describes as "unlawful military aggression" by the United States and Israel, emphasizing that responsibility for regional destabilization lies with them. Iran signals that backing such actions could complicate access to critical global shipping routes.
This comes amid heightened tensions following reported US and Israeli strikes on Iran. Kenyan authorities had placed around 400,000 Kenyans in the Middle East on high alert and called for de-escalation. Iran's Ambassador to Kenya has stressed that Kenya is not a target while affirming Iran's right to self-defense.
Kenya, which relies heavily on imported fuel and goods via Gulf-linked routes, faces potential economic ripple effects from any disruption. President William Ruto has cautioned about risks to the economy from the conflict.
The development highlights growing geopolitical pressure on African nations as the US-Israel-Iran confrontation intensifies. No immediate response from the Kenyan government has been reported.

How Britain and Israel Removed Uncle Obote from PAWA
In January 1971, at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Singapore, the British Prime Minister, Edward Heath, surveyed the gathered leaders and warned that some of the men present, would not be returning home.He was talking about uncle Milton Obote.
While Obote debated policy and diplomacy thousands of miles away, his own army commander, Idi Amin, was busy rearranging the furniture of power in Kampala with tanks and soldiers. Unsuspecting ordinary Ugandans, exhausted by Obote’s heavy-handed rule, welcomed the coup with relief. But the fall of Obote was not merely the result of local frustration. The fingerprints on this coup were too large, The real architects sat far, one in London, the other in Tel Aviv.
For Britain, Obote had started becoming a problem. His proudly announced Common Man’s Charter, a socialist blueprint that threatened to nationalize nearly eighty British-owned companies. Amin, unpredictable looked like a man who would not read economic manifestos before breakfast.
Israel had its own calculations. For years, Amin had been a useful conduit in the region, helping funnel arms through Uganda to the Anya-Nya rebels fighting in southern Sudan. The objective was to keep the pro-Arab government in Khartoum busy fighting at home so it could not interfere elsewhere. Obote had grown suspicious of the arrangement and increasingly reluctant to play along. Amin, on the other hand, was considered far more cooperative.
As the coup unfolded, the fragile brotherhood of the East African leaders found itself staring at an uncomfortable question who, exactly, was next?
To Mwalimu Julius Nyerere this was not a routine African coup. It smelled of intelligence agencies and long-distance interference. He believed the same invisible hands that had helped topple his friend and ideological ally, Kwame Nkrumah, in the 1966 Ghana coup d'état were now at work again. If Nkrumah could fall, and Obote could fall, Nyerere concluded, then any leader with inconvenient ideas might soon be exiled . He rejected Amin’s takeover outright and swore he would never share a room with the new ruler of Uganda
Obote himself, stranded in Singapore began calling every ally he could still trust. Nyerere responded. The two met in New Delhi, where the Tanzanian advised caution, patience, and survival. Obote was told to lie low in Nairobi while Nyerere finished a state visit to India.
For Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, he initially agreed to help. Obote, who had long-standing ties with the influential Kitili Mwendwa family, was quietly settled at the Panafric Hotel in Nairobi. From his room, he worked the telephone speaking to loyalists in Kampala and exploring whether the coup could be reversed.
For a moment the answer came back, it might be possible. Plans were drawn, Vehicles prepared and a small convoy was organized to head toward Tororo. And then, the door slammed shut. Kenyan authorities sealed the hotel, no one was allowed out. Telephones went off.The change of mood in Nairobi did not require much explanation. Pressure from London had arrived, heavy. Allowing Obote to regroup and march back to power was a risk Britain had no intention of tolerating, and Kenya understood perfectly well which side paid the bills.
Suffocating, Obote made the only decision left to him. He left quietly for Tanzania.
