“They Got a Thorough Beating” – Fani-Kayode Says Israel Won’t Dare Attack Iran Again
By NewsVista Reporter | June 24, 2025
Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has stirred heated debate online after making bold and controversial remarks about the outcome of the recent Iran-Israel conflict.
Taking to his verified X (formerly Twitter) account, the outspoken politician claimed that Israel suffered a devastating blow in its confrontation with Iran. He described the incident as an “unprecedented defeat” and declared that Israel would “never again” dare to provoke Tehran.
“In its entire 77-year history, the Zionist state has never experienced such panic, destruction, and humiliation. Their cities were brutally attacked and left in ruins,” Fani-Kayode wrote.
He continued:
“They picked a fight with a strong and proud nation and got not just a bloody nose, but a thorough beating. Never will they launch an unprovoked attack on Iran again.”
Mixed Reactions Trail FFK’s Statement
According to Newsvista.com.ng, Fani-Kayode’s remarks have generated a wave of reactions across social media platforms. While some users praised him for “speaking the truth,” others slammed his comments as reckless and one-sided.
Supporters of Iran hailed his post as a brave reflection of Middle Eastern resistance, while critics argued that his words appeared to support a regime widely accused of sponsoring armed militancy across the region.
A Sensitive Diplomatic Moment
The comments come in the aftermath of a fierce exchange of hostilities between Iran and Israel, involving drone strikes and ballistic missile attacks that gripped global attention. While Israel insists its military action was a preemptive strike for national defense, Iran has declared a strategic victory, claiming it acted in response to Israeli aggression.
As Newsvista observed, Fani-Kayode’s statement carries weight not only due to his political pedigree but also because of the sensitive geopolitical landscape. Some foreign policy experts believe his position—whether personal or political—could have implications on Nigeria’s diplomatic neutrality in international conflicts.
Silence from Israeli Authorities
So far, no official response has come from the Israeli government regarding Fani-Kayode’s remarks. However, as tensions continue to simmer in the region, global calls for restraint and diplomacy are growing louder.
Fani-Kayode, known for his fiery rhetoric and polarizing views, remains a prominent voice in both Nigerian politics and international affairs. His latest comments once again underscore the sharp divisions and passions that surround the Iran-Israel conflict.
