United States' military attacks three Iran's nuclear sites with six Bunker Bombs "successfully."

In the Saturday night raid by US Air Force, the three Iranian nuclear sites were successfully attacked by the United States of America, obliterating any possibility of Iran becoming a nuclear power in the "nearest" future.

The strikes hit uranium enrichment sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

“Our objective was the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one state sponsor of terror,” US president, Trump said in a speech from the White House.

"Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.”

The strikes hit uranium enrichment sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, Trump said. He warned Iran to stay away from retaliating against US targets in the region, promising that further US strikes would be even more deadly.

“There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days,” Trump said. “Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight’s was the most difficult of them all by far, and perhaps the most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill.”

JUST IN: 17-YEAR-OLD CAUGHT BURYING YOUNGER BROTHER ALIVE IN KOGI

11th October, 2023

A 17-year-old boy, identified as Goodness Oshodi, has allegedly buried his younger brother, Friday Oshodi alive in Kogi State.

Kogireports gathered that Oshodi had accused his younger brother Friday Oshodi of stealing N1,000.

The incident happened at Apamsede, a suburb of Lokoja, the Kogi State capital on Wednesday.

Sources at Apamsede said that Friday is noted for stealing, adding that, to check his criminal act, his mother asked his Elder brother Goodness to punish him.

They added that rather than giving Friday tolerable punishment, Goodness led him to a nearby bush and buried him alive.

Our correspondent further gathered that luck, however, ran out of Goodness as he was caught in the heinous crime by some vigilante members in the area who exhumed the body of Friday alive and reported the case to the police.

The Kogi State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, SP. William Ovie Aya confirmed the incident on Wednesday afternoon, saying the Police had arrested Goodness, stressing that the Command had commenced an investigation into the case.

His words, “The suspect has been arrested and taken into custody. The victim is seven years old. Information at our disposal revealed that the victim used to steal. When he stole money, he ran away from the house, but later came back.

“When he came back, he stole another money again. So, the mother instructed his elder brother who is a 17-year-old boy to punish him. So, the brother went ahead to dig the ground to punish him. So, they just want to deal with him, before some nearby neighbours discover what was happening and rescued him”.

THE SEA IS UNFORGIVING

Sadly the five billionaires who had embarked on a 13,000 feet journey deep in the Pacific ocean to witness the wreckages of the Titanic ship are no more.

The area is within the Bermuda triangle, a very risky place due to magnetic forces and its said the missing submersible which the five were on board exploded.

This comes after four days of frantic search and rescue mission mounted by the US Coast Guard, the Canadian Navy and the OceanGate company crew.

Nothing was forthcoming until the French sent what would actually solve the puzzle of the missing sub and its occupants.

A mid fears of oxygen running out, France sent a robot that can dive to 20,000 feet (6,000 metres) underwater. It's that thing that looks like a generator, yellow in colour.

The unmanned robot, called Victor 6000, can dive deeper than other equipment now at the site in the North Atlantic and has arms that can be remotely controlled to cut cables or perform other manoeuvres to release a stuck vessel.

The Titanic ship sunk on April 14, 1912. The magnificent luxury ship, the biggest to be built that time, had 2,200 passengers and 900 crew members. It toperdoed 700km off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

The ship's wreckage is resting some 3,800 metres on the floor of the Atlantic. And thats what the billionaires paid Sh35 million each to go and see.

When the ship sunk only 1500 passengers on board were rescued mostly on the first class deck.

The rest of the passengers and the crew went down with the vessel.

It took 73 years for the wreckage to be located. That means, from 1912 the first sight of the remains of the ship was done in 1985.

It took that long because of the limitations of technology then. Because during that time the magical Victor 6000 had not been born.

And as though history repeats itself, 112 years later, on the same spot, in a vessel with the same name, a tragic loss of life occurs.

Victor has spotted and relayed information of the debris of the sub. It hasn't spotted anything looking like a human being yet.

Your guess is as good as mine.
May their souls rest in peace.
