13 soldiers killed in ISGS ambush on Niger Army convoy in Tahoua
By Zagazola Makama
At least 13 people, including 12 soldiers and a civilian driver, were killed after suspected fighters of the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISGS) ambushed a Nigerien military convoy in the Tahoua Region of Niger.
Security sources said the attack occurred on March 11 along the road between Yaya and Tahoua near Bagga village.
According to the sources, the convoy, comprising about 50 personnel drawn from the 42nd Infantry Battalion (BIA) and the Rapid Security Brigade (BSR) of Tahoua, had been deployed as reinforcement following the sabotage of a pipeline in the area by suspected ISGS elements.
The troops were reportedly travelling in a seven-vehicle convoy when they were caught in a complex and coordinated ambush by the insurgents.
The sources said 12 members of the Defence and Security Forces (FDS) were killed in the attack, while a civilian truck driver also lost his life.
One of the soldiers reportedly died after being evacuated to a hospital in Tahoua, while the officer leading the mission, a lieutenant, sustained serious injuries after being shot twice in the arm.

[Regnum] Tajik citizen Kudrat Kurbonov was found guilty of justifying the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall concert hall near Moscow online and sentenced to six years in prison. The First Western District Military Court handed down the verdict, law enforcement officials reported on March 13.
A criminal case was opened against the foreigner under Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Russian Criminal Code ("Public justification of terrorism"). The convicted man will serve the first three years of his sentence in prison, and the remainder in a maximum-security penal colony, TASS reported.
The suspect was arrested in late November 2025 and, by court order, sent to pretrial detention. He admitted his guilt. According to investigators, in March 2024, Kurbonov published several messages on the Telegram messaging app, justifying the terrorists who attacked the Crocus customers.
The source clarified that the man came to Russia to work in August 2025. He admitted to being a supporter of ISIS (a terrorist organization banned in Russia) and wanted to "fight the infidels."
Back to the original story that this was an ISIS attack.
[FoxNews] Kyle Chris, 39, originally from Iraq, became a naturalized US citizen in 2022 and changed his name to Kyle Najm Chris, according to court documents
An armed man wearing tactical gear walked into a Texas elementary school Tuesday through an improperly closed door and asked about the security presence on campus, authorities said.
Kyle Chris, 39, also known as Muhi Mohanad Najm,
…his original Iranian name? It looks Moslem, which Kyle Chris does not…
was arrested at his home Wednesday night and faces a felony charge of unlawfully carrying a weapon in a prohibited place after the incident at Zwink Elementary School, Fox Houston reported.
Chris, originally from Baghdad, Iraq, became a naturalized U.S. citizen on Aug. 24, 2022 and changed his name to Kyle Najm Chris, according to court documents.
He was arrested at his home, located minutes from the school by Klein Independent School District police.
Chris allegedly told authorities he was a security guard, but was actually unemployed, the report states.
The district said Chris got into the school during a 15-second window when the doors didn't click shut after a parent left the building. He was wearing what appeared to be a uniform and had a holstered firearm, the district said.
However, the school's "secure vestibule" system stopped him from going any further by keeping him trapped in the front office area, the district said.
"When the individual was asked by the front office staff to provide identification, he did not provide identification, and the front office staff immediately contacted our armed, full-time campus guard," the district said in a letter to parents obtained by Fox News Digital.
Chris was unable to get into the hallways where students were located.
He left the school grounds and drove away, the district said. No students or staffers were harmed.
Parents were notified of the incident on Wednesday, the district said, because they were working with law enforcement to identify Chris.
"Sending a public notification during that window could have jeopardized those efforts, tipped off the suspect, and delayed the arrest," the letter states. "Law enforcement had the individual under constant surveillance today, and out of an abundance of caution, additional security measures were in place on campus, including increased police presence."
Chris is being held in the Harris County jail on $75,000 bond, according to jail records.
[FoxNews] President Donald Trump said Friday that the U.S. had carried out a bombing raid on Iran’s Kharg Island, a strategically vital island in the Persian Gulf that serves as the country’s largest oil terminal and a crucial hub for its crude exports. "They'll never bomb here"
"Moments ago, at my direction, the United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the history of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg Island," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The island, located roughly 35 miles off Iran’s Bushehr province in the country’s southwest, is about the size of New York City’s Central Park but carries huge importance for Iran’s economy.
It has a loading capacity of about 7 million barrels per day, and roughly 90% of Iran’s crude oil exports pass through it. Most of those exports are shipped to China and India, underscoring the island’s importance not only to Iran’s energy trade but also to broader global oil markets.

My thought is that the US and Israel initially left Kharg Island alone as a bargaining chip to see if the Mullahs/IRGC might come to their senses and it would leave something for the Iranian future finances. 'Every Fool Deserves a Break', or something like that.
#3
Iran has maybe 10 days before that MEU from Japan arrives. If Iran doesn't stop attacking oil and LNG tankers, the MEU is going to take Kharg Island which will bring Iran's economy to almost complete stop. No more money for anything.
#9
What do you call ten thousand dead people in a single day?
"A good start."
Casualties need to be in the millions before Islam will stop, and probably not even then.
Most of the world's population holds false antisemitic views which they will not be convinced out of.
We can't live in the same world together.
There are 200-400 million Shia Muslims and 2 billion Sunni.
This is going to take a while.

[Regnum] Iran carried out its most powerful attack on Israeli territory, using super-heavy ballistic missiles. This was announced on March 13 by General Majid Mousavi, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force (IRGC Aerospace Force).
"Thirty super-heavy ballistic missiles, weighing between one and two tons, were launched at specific targets in the occupied territories. This operation disrupted and destroyed the [Israeli] regime's critical aerial surveillance systems. This was the regime's most powerful combat attack. Now another part of the sky is under our control," Mousavi wrote on social media.
On the morning of February 28, Israel and the United States launched military operations against Iran. According to Iranian estimates, the strikes injured more than 15,000 civilians.
In response, Iran launched a large-scale operation using missiles and drones. Missile strikes targeted American military bases in Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, Bahrain, and Jordan. A CIA compound in the UAE was attacked. On March 10, Spiegel magazine reported that Iran launched a missile strike on German military facilities at the multinational Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan.
On March 11, the IRGC reported that Iran had struck US positions with new Khorramshahr 4 missiles with a 2-ton warhead.
A missile strike on Iran was launched from Bahrain, marking the first recorded attack on the Islamic Republic from a Persian Gulf country. This was reported by The New York Times, citing verified video.
The authors noted that the video alone makes it unclear whether the missiles were fired by the US or the Bahraini military. Iran frequently accuses Gulf states of allowing their territory to be used as a launch pad for American attacks, the publication explained.
"Video confirmed by The New York Times shows ballistic missiles launched from Bahrain on March 7 toward Iran, in what appears to be the first confirmed attack since the military operation began," the newspaper concluded.
As experts explained, the launcher for the first missile is hidden behind a building, but when the second missile takes off, its trajectory points to a second launcher located nearby. According to Wes J. Bryant, a former US Air Force national security analyst, and Fabian Hoffman, a missile specialist at the University of Oslo, this is a US-made M142 HIMARS truck.
The US Navy's Fifth Fleet is based in Bahrain. However, the government has not officially commented on the matter. The publication stated that Iran launched over 100 missiles and 191 drones at Bahrain.

[Jpost] Iranians on the ground have been transmitting information in Persian through Israeli social media accounts. According to the report, the information is first verified and vetted by Israeli authorities, and action is taken only after it is found to be accurate.
Iranian state media reported on Wednesday evening that Israeli drones targeted checkpoints in Tehran, killing several members of Iran's security forces, including some affiliated with the Basij militia. Separate reports said several regime security personnel and Basij members were killed in the strikes.
If confirmed, the reported use of civilian-supplied intelligence would point to an additional layer in Israel’s targeting apparatus inside Iran.
From Red State, courtesy of NoMoreBS:
We've seen Israel and the United States take out a lot of Iran's leaders. The two countries have also been pounding away at their military capacity. They've decimated their Navy, and they've taken over their skies.
"Never before has a modern, capable military, which Iran used to have, been so quickly destroyed and made combat ineffective," Secretary of War Pete Hegseth declared.
So on one level, they've already largely succeeded in taking down the military.
WILD: The predicted “future” came within 24 hours. This is Israeli Air Force footage of drones and jets blowing up Basij checkpoints all around Tehran today, based on tips called in by Iranian citizens. A revolution with air support against a regime with no air defence. https://t.co/SZNn3mseMUpic.twitter.com/JRvRNUWZQP
This is a brilliant move. Not only does it take the oppressors out, it encourages the resistance on the ground, and it also has to have the Basij cowering in their boots. It's likely to result in more defections from their ranks. Now, of course, you have to check and make sure the identification of the checkpoint is correct, which is what the Israelis are doing. But it's pretty easy to identify a Basij checkpoint versus other kinds of traffic, I would think.

[Regnum] Iran denied launching missiles toward Turkey. This was stated in a statement by the central headquarters of the Iranian military command, Khatam al-Anbiya.
Türkiye stated that NATO air defense forces had already intercepted three ballistic missiles from Iran.
"The Iranian Armed Forces deny any missile launch against friendly neighboring Turkey," the General Staff said in a statement.
Iran's military stressed the need to study the situation, pointing out that the US and Israel are seeking to damage Iran's relations with Turkey.
On March 13, the Turkish Ministry of Defense reported that NATO forces had destroyed another ballistic missile launched from Iran over its territory. Meanwhile, Turkish military leaders also announced the destruction of missiles launched from Iran on March 4 and 9. The ministry noted that "all necessary steps" would be taken to address any threat.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's administration called on all parties to the conflict, and "primarily Iran," to refrain from escalating the situation in the region and from actions that could endanger civilians.
