While they flex muscles and refusing to reach a negotiated settlement, the whole world is suffering from the economic strangulation that follows. The elites and the rich are okay regardless of how long this war is dragged, It’s the ordinary people that will continue to bear the burden of this crisis.

JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran rejects participating in a second round of peace talks with the United States.

A Nation’s soft power is reinforced by its military power. World superpowers sustain their perceived global hegemony through economic, social, and military dominances. However, a nation’s soft power or influence becomes diminished when the power-illusion, be it economically or militarily, which have sustained its position at the geopolitical scene is cracked by certain events like that of the US-Iran situation. Many nations have become militarily advanced, hence existing superpower nations should be extra strategic to ensure that their illusion of power which they created over the decades is maintained to continually sustain their global influence and hegemonic standing.

Belarus President Lukashenko says President Trump has shown the world that the US is not powerful. "If the Americans couldn't handle Iran, then they should not mess with China. They will never be able to deal with that kind of power."

BREAKING: The UK will not be involved in a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, Sky News understands. Earlier today, Donald Trump said the U.S. Navy would be blocking the critical shipping route. Sky's political correspondent @LucyJMcDaid has the latest trib.al/TW6Y3VP

SECRETARY RUBIO: The whole world has been impacted unfortunately because Iran is violating every law known by striking commercial vessels in the Straits of Hormuz. Iran is a regime that doesn’t believe in laws, rules, or anything like that. It’s a state sponsor of terrorism.

People’s lives are being wasted daily at the glare of the country’s political leaders who sworn an oath to protect lives and property of the people, but stood aloof to watch non-state actors and criminals go about on killing spree. The crime of these innocent lives is being born in a country that has little or no regard for the sanctity of human lives. It’s sad 😢

Ghana Says It Won’t Honor International Agreements That Grant Extradition Only To The West Ghanaian Minister for Justice, Justice Srem-Sai, has stated that his country will not be honoring any international agreements which facilitate the extradition of criminal suspects from Africa to the West, but fail to guarantee the reverse. Srem-Sai said this at the 2026 Global Fraud Summit held on March 16 in Vienna, Austria, which brought together delegates from around the world to discuss measures and ways forward in the global fight against fraud. As Western leaders and diplomats performatively lament corruption in Africa, their nations continue to provide safe haven for Africa’s worst criminals and the spoils of their crimes. A 2024 report by Transparency International revealed that over US$3.7 billion worth of corruption-linked assets from Africa remain hidden in Western nations. Western law enforcement agencies have frustrated the efforts of well-meaning Africans to hold their corrupt leaders and their Western accomplices to account, and even covered for these criminals. Yet when Western nations come calling on Africa to extradite its citizens suspected of crimes in the West, the process is a lot smoother. Ghana's statement signals the beginnings of a new dynamic, and comes at a time when many other African nations are taking bold steps to reassert and defend their sovereignty.

CAF overturned Senegal 🇸🇳 2025 afcon victory on the grounds that they forfeited when they walked out of the pitch in protest of the late hour penalty awarded to Morocco 🇲🇦.

Afcon has now become a competition to be either won on the pitch or through the back door 🚪 Congratulations to Morocco!! It’s well deserved based on the passion they displayed on the pitch and through their master class infrastructures.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 US war with Iran has now cost an estimated $21,000,000,000 since strikes began.

It appears Iran military and weaponry capabilities were underestimated. The World leadership needs to coalesce to find a negotiated settlement, and end further escalations.

It would be a strategic coalition that could muscle Iran into submission, but it will likely be destructive to the world if other superpower nations align with Iran. Dreadful time ahead: If negotiated settlement can no longer be reached through channels of diplomacy, World War III is seemingly becoming inevitable. The world needs peace more than ever before.

@jacksonhinklle This war is now a chess game of mutual economic sabotage. Iran is coming at the U.S. dollar by trying to de-dollarize the Middle East. If they accept, it will automatically make Chinese yuan a global currency, a new petrol currency.
