US launches 'powerful strikes' against Islamic State in Nigeria, says Trump
Published: 12/26/2025

President Trump announced that the US launched powerful strikes against Islamic State in Nigeria, describing them as "perfect." Nigerian officials confirmed a joint operation targeting terrorists, not religion. Trump accused IS of targeting innocent Christians, but reports show violence has affected both Muslims and Christians in Nigeria. The US actions come amid ongoing clashes in Nigeria involving Boko Haram and other jihadist groups.
