  • On December 25, 2025 (Christmas night), the United States conducted airstrikes in northwest Nigeria targeting ISIS militants (specifically affiliated with the Islamic State West Africa Province, or ISWAP), described as retaliation for attacks primarily on Christian communities.
  • President Trump announced the operation on Truth Social, stating it was a "powerful and deadly strike" against "ISIS Terrorist Scum" who have been "viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians," and warned of further strikes if the violence continues.
  • The strikes were carried out in coordination with (or at the request of) Nigerian authorities in Sokoto State, killing multiple militants according to U.S. Africa Command's initial assessment. Sources like Reuters, NYT, and Fox News confirm the operation involved precision strikes, possibly including Tomahawk missiles.
  • Background: ISWAP and related groups have been responsible for years of violence in Nigeria, resulting in thousands of deaths. Trump had previously warned Nigeria about protecting Christians and threatened military action.
  • The Fox News post you linked shares footage of the strikes and has garnered over 3,500 likes with mixed reactions: supporters praise it as strong action defending persecuted Christians and a "moral imperative," while critics question its benefit to Americans or argue the U.S. should focus on domestic issues. Some replies include humor (e.g., "ISIS got fireworks for Christmas") and broader geopolitical comments.
