In a recent video shared on Facebook on Sunday, March 8, 2026, Primate Elijah Ayodele spoke about the ongoing tensions involving Iran, the United States, and Israel, stating that the situation is more strategic than many people realize.
While addressing the conflict and the military confrontations surrounding Iran, Ayodele suggested that the country is applying calculated tactics in the ongoing struggle with its adversaries.
According to him, “They are using strategy in the fight. Some people they said are dead might not be dead.”
The cleric explained that in times of international conflict, countries often deploy intelligence strategies and misinformation to confuse opponents and maintain an advantage. He noted that some reports circulating during wartime may not always reflect the full reality on the ground.
Ayodele further stated that Iran is not fighting the battle in a straightforward manner but is instead relying on long-term strategic planning and tactical decisions. According to him, the country understands the complexity of facing powerful opponents such as the United States and Israel and therefore adopts unconventional approaches in the conflict.
The prophet also cautioned that the tensions involving Iran and its rivals could continue to influence global stability if diplomatic solutions are not pursued. International conflicts involving major powers, he said, often come with political, economic, and military consequences that extend beyond the immediate region.
Ayodele concluded by urging global leaders to prioritize dialogue and careful decision-making, stressing that prolonged confrontations among powerful nations could escalate into wider crises if not properly managed.
