Traditional leader Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi has warned that the U.S. involvement in the Middle East crisis is a "needless confrontation" that could end badly for America.
He praised Iran for standing its ground while accusing the Trump administration of using a "cowardly approach" in its latest military operations.
The Oluwo argued that every independent country should have its borders and leaders respected. He specifically condemned the assassination of the Iranian leader on February 28, 2026.
By ignoring calls for a truce and participating in the bombing of sovereign territory, the monarch believes the U.S. is losing its grip as a global leader and "referee."
He pointed out that Iran survived years of sanctions and has proven it will not be easily intimidated like other nations.
The monarch expressed fear that these targeted killings set a dangerous precedent, asking, "Who knows who is next?" if world leaders do not return to diplomatic negotiations.
