Iran Launches New Satellites Ahead of Netanyahu–Trump Meeting

Iran has launched three locally developed satellites into space in a fresh show of defiance, coming just as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu heads to meet US President Donald Trump to discuss Iran and wider Middle East concerns.

The satellites — Paya, Zafar-2, and a second prototype of Kowsar — were successfully placed into Low Earth Orbit on Sunday using a Russian Soyuz rocket launched from a Russian space facility.

Before the June war, Tehran had carried out several satellite launches in recent years, some independently and others in partnership with Moscow. Iranian officials say the newly launched satellites include the country’s most advanced imaging technology, further highlighting Iran’s growing space and missile-linked capabilities amid rising regional tensions.

The timing of the launch is widely seen as symbolic, coinciding with high-level talks between Israel and the United States focused on Iran’s nuclear ambitions and regional influence.

B+mb Scare in Jabo, Sokoto as Villagers Discover Suspected Undetonated Explosive Device

Tension gripped Jabo community in Sokoto State on Saturday after villagers discovered what appeared to be an explosive device, prompting the intervention of security agencies.

An Arise News reporter at the scene said eyewitnesses revealed that a local farmer found the object in the afternoon, close to early evening. The farmer reportedly alerted other residents, who gathered at the spot and attempted to dig out the device.

According to the reporter, the situation nearly turned d%sastrous when the villagers, unable to remove the object, tied a rope to it and attempted to pull it out using a camel. He noted that the action could have resulted in a devastating explosion if the device had detonated.

“This was clearly a calamity averted, because if that device had gone off, it wouldn’t have been a funny scenario,” the reporter said. Security operatives, including an ordnance disposal team and police personnel, have since cordoned off the area.

Restrictions were placed around the site as experts worked to assess and secure the device. Although some villagers remained nearby, security officials were seen cautioning them and stressing that the situation was still active.

The reporter added that authorities suspect there could be more unexploded devices in the area. Residents are being sensitised to immediately report any suspicious objects to security agencies to allow trained experts handle them safely, as investigations and safety operations continue in the community.
