In a recent video from 11:50 shared on Facebook on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, Primate Elijah Ayodele spoke about the ongoing tensions involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, offering his perspective on how the conflict is being approached and perceived globally.
In the video, Ayodele stated, “They think Iran is Ukraine or Venezuela; you need someone to teach your enemy sense.” He explained that misjudging an opponent can lead to prolonged conflict and unexpected resistance in military engagements.
According to recent developments, the war between the United States, Israel, and Iran has continued to escalate since late February 2026, with coordinated strikes on Iranian targets followed by widespread retaliatory missile and drone attacks across Israel and several Gulf countries.
Ayodele further emphasized that conflicts of this nature require a deep understanding of the opponent’s capabilities, strategies, and resilience. He noted that underestimating a nation like Iran could complicate efforts to achieve quick or decisive outcomes in the war
The cleric added that global conflicts often demand strategic patience, accurate intelligence, and careful planning rather than assumptions based on comparisons with other countries. He stressed that each nation responds differently depending on its internal dynamics and external pressures.
Ayodele concluded by urging world powers to approach conflicts with caution and proper assessment, noting that understanding the true nature of an adversary is essential in preventing prolonged warfare and achieving more stable outcomes through either military or diplomatic means. Read_More…
