Baba-Ahmed issued the warning, following reports that the United States and Israel conducted air strikes on Iran on Saturday, resulting in the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader and several senior political and military officials.

“The world is by now aware of the fact that two days ago, the United States of America and Israel attacked the State of Iran, killed its leader and a number of very senior political and military officers, as well as a number of other citizens,” Baba-Ahmed said.

He explained that the operation appears aimed at regime change, but warned that such interventions rarely proceed smoothly.

“What we are likely to have is what we are beginning to see now, a lot of chaos, prolonged crisis, both within Iran and around it, and a lot of uproar around the world,” he added.

Baba-Ahmed stressed that Nigeria could feel indirect effects from the international turmoil.

“Nigeria too is in trouble. We are not safe with what is going on in Iran,” he stated, highlighting the potential ripple effects on national security, economic stability, and geopolitical alignment.
