Senator Shehu Sani Urges Iran Not To Attack Israel

Popular Nigerian politician and civil rights activist, Senator Shehu Sani, has appealed to the Islamic Republic of Iran not to attack Israel, calling on both countries to sheathe swords and stop flexing muscles, saying the world needs peace as well as the Middle East in particular.

Reacting to the ongoing crisis in the Middle East in an interview with journalists on Sunday, the activist and former federal lawmaker in Nigeria’s upper legislative Chamber, said the six-month crisis between Hamas and Israel has culminated into tension in the Middle East and across the world, adding that Iran should not attack Israel in the interest of world peace.

He condemned missiles launched by both feuding countries and their proxies, which he said, left no significant damages, and insisted that the attack should stop at this level in order to stop the threat occasioned by the crisis to world peace and the Middle East region.

According to him, the threat of an all-out war between Iran and Israel could herald a Third World War, which is obviously not in the interest of any nation, hence, there was a need to avert the current crisis before it is late.

Sani called on Hamas to release Israeli hostages as part of moves to end the catastrophe since October 7 in Gaza, while he urged Israeli to respect the United Nations (UN) resolutions and stop the bombing of Gaza and opt for a roundtable dialogue to restore a permanent peace between both nations.
