A former Nigeria Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has claimed that Israel has “finally got the war it wanted”.
Fani-Kayode stated this in reaction to Iran’s recent ballistic missile attacks on Israel.
“Israel has finally got the war it wanted,” Fani-Kayode wrote on his verified X handle.
On Tuesday, Iran launched at least 180 missiles into Israel.
This is the latest in a series of escalating attacks in years of conflict between the two nations and its Arab allies that threatens to push the Middle East closer toward a regionwide war.
Before Iran’s attack, Israel had landed a series of devastating attacks in recent weeks against the leadership of Hezbollah in Lebanon.
