Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani once warned that the crises unfolding in the Middle East are not always what they appear to be. According to him, wise nations must act with caution and foresight, because great powers often pursue hidden strategic interests behind regional conflicts.

He explained that the United States initially hoped unrest in the region would escalate into a broader confrontation with Iran. Such a conflict, he suggested, would draw Gulf countries into war after Iranian attacks on American military bases stationed in their territories.

In such a scenario, the United States would benefit by selling enormous quantities of weapons, while the real tragedy would be Muslims fighting and destroying one another. The result would be devastating instability across the region.

He further noted that once regional powers weaken themselves through conflict, Washington could then fully back Israel in pursuing the controversial ambition often referred to as “Greater Israel.”

Despite disagreements and tensions with Iran, he stressed that the responsibility is partly shared, since many countries allowed foreign military bases on their soil. For this reason, he concluded firmly: we are wise people, not butchers—and, God willing, we will not enter a war with Iran, because they remain our Muslim brothers.

AIRTEL has entered into an agreement with the company STARLINK. This is good news for everyone who uses internet data on their mobile phones.

At the beginning of 2026, AIRTEL will start providing STARLINK data directly to mobile phones, making it easier for people to access the internet.

This means there will be strong network coverage across Nigeria, both in rural areas and cities. AIRTEL is the first company in Africa to sign this kind of agreement. It is recommended that users stay informed about this development and prepare to take advantage of the improved and more reliable internet services when they become available.
