Trump launches 'powerful and deadly' strike on ISIS in Nigeria and warns of more if attacks persist
Daily Mail UK ^ | Christmas Day 2025 | Stephen M. Lepore

Donald Trump announced a 'powerful and deadly' Christmas Day strike on ISIS 'terrorist scum' in Nigeria and warned that radicals will continue to pay for the persecution of Christians.

The president, who previously threatened to send the US military to the West African nation 'guns-a-blazing,' made the announcement in a Truth Social post Thursday evening.

'Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries!' he wrote.

A spokesperson for the Pentagon confirmed to The Daily Mail that the Nigerian government approved of and worked with the US military on the strikes.

The US Africa Command posted on X that it had 'conducted a strike at the request of Nigerian authorities in Soboto State killing multiple ISIS terrorists.'

Nigeria's foreign ministry said the strikes were carried out as part of ongoing security cooperation with the United States, involving intelligence sharing and strategic coordination to target militant groups.

'This has led to precision hits on terrorist targets in Nigeria by air strikes in the North West,' the ministry said in a post on X.

A video posted by the Pentagon showed at least one projectile launched from a warship. A US defense official said the strike targeted multiple militants at known ISIS camps.

Trump was great.
But now, he is even greater!
I fully support his many interventions abroad. It protects America and the West’s interests.

Next move : Venezuela!

No more threats. Just do it, President Trump.

Trump undoubtedly used stealth assets, and had to be convinced by his staff not to call the attacks “silent but deadly.”

RE: Too bad we don’t still have any Crusader fighter jets.

The old Crusader Rabbit cartoon show implied it was good to get a crusade going against the old enemies like the first Crusades. Would have low ratings today in Dearborn.

I doubt that.

Strikes like these where there is no economic motive are like the strike on Iran crippling (retarding) their nuclear program.

It’s a limited strike, clear objective, no open ended expeditionary campaign with an economic motive. No idiological nation building endeavor.

I’d be surprised if Tucker says much nor would I be shocked if he praises it.

It’s not white supremacy, it’s technical correctness. No white guilt here.

Was George Washington’s attack at Trenton poor timing or brilliant timing?
