Conservative Anglicans in Nigeria to Elect Rival Leader Amid Church RiftsGAFCON's Challenge to Anglican Communion LeadershipBy Ben EzeamaluBackground and ContextLAGOS, March 3 (Reuters) - A grouping of conservative Anglican churches will meet in Nigeria this week to elect a leader to rival the Archbishop of Canterbury, an unprecedented step that is likely to deepen a widening theological split within the Anglican Communion. The Role of GAFCONThe Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) – which brings together conservative churches mainly in Africa and Asia – opposes liberal shifts in parts of the Communion, including the ordination of women and greater inclusion of LGBTQ+ members. Recent Protests and DevelopmentsThe group protested the Church of England’s appointment last October of its first woman Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally. The Communion is made up of 46 autonomous churches, with the Church of England historically regarded as the "mother church". GAFCON's Position within the Anglican CommunionGAFCON says it has not left the Anglican Communion but is asserting itself as its authentic orthodox core.

LONDON, March 3 (Reuters) - Britain is planning to send a warship to defend its Royal Air Force Akrotiri base in Cyprus from Iranian attacks, the Times newspaper said on Tuesday. An Iranian-made drone strike hit a runway at the Akrotiri base in the early hours of Monday, and Britain has said UK assets were targeted by Iran. The Times report, citing three sources, said defence minister John Healey had a meeting on Tuesday with senior military figures, in which they discussed sending HMS Duncan to the region. Earlier on Tuesday, the semi-official Cyprus News Agency (CNA) said France plans to send anti-missile and anti-drone systems to Cyprus.

We trust you will quote in full our response:The Al-Quds Day march and rally held in the UK for nearly 40 years, is a non-confessional, family oriented event that calls for justice for Palestinians. Sadly it has been routinely demonised and targeted by Israel first politicians and media, often in totally untruthful ways. Any ban on Al-Quds Day would destroy any remaining credibility that the UK has. David Taylor, the Labour MP, told The Times: “The police must stop this march from going ahead. We cannot allow hundreds of supporters of Iran’s hardline regime to march through London calling for strikes on Israel and death to the West.

It was the latter that caught Trump's public attention and, of course, made the Iranian regime even more isolated than before. [1]The regime, or at least some of those in power, seemed to have drawn the wrong lessons from the 2025 war. "[4] There have been as many demonstrations today in the United States by Iranian Americans cheering the Administration as there have been against the war. "[8] It also takes time and requires constantly increasing the pain on Gulf states. It is quite possible that some version of the current Iranian regime does survive this war.

Donald Trump has laid out four goals in Iran and said the US campaign had been projected to last four to five weeks but could “go far longer than that”. Trump added that other countries backed US efforts to stop Iran pursuing a nuclear weapon but “they just didn’t have the courage to say so”. “I was very proud to have knocked out the Iran nuclear deal by President Barack Hussein Obama,” he said. Trump said a third objective was a longstanding US goal, to prevent Iran from supporting militant groups elsewhere in the region. “We projected four to five weeks but we have capability to go far longer than that.

The British prime minister said he stood by his judgment not to support initial joint US-Israeli strikes against Iran, after Donald Trump criticised his approach. The US president said the UK was taking ‘too long’ to allow the US to use its airbases. Starmer said the decision had now been made to allow US forces to use British bases to strike storage depots and for a ‘limited defensive purpose’. He said he believed the killing of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had led Iran to strike military and economic targets in a more ‘reckless’ manner in the region

“It was abundantly clear that if Iran came under attack by anyone – the United States or Israel or anyone – they were going to respond, and respond against the United States,” Rubio told reporters at the Capitol. Vance has been the member of Donald Trump’s administration most opposed to military interventions and has spoken less frequently about US actions in Iran than Rubio. “There was no imminent threat to the United States of America by the Iranians. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the United States, then we are in uncharted territory,” Warner said. Because Israel faced what they deem to be an existential threat,” Johnson said.

Keir Starmer has agreed to allow the US to use UK military bases to launch attacks that degrade Iran’s missiles. In a recorded statement, the prime minister said, 'we have taken the decision to accept this request, to prevent Iran firing missiles across the region'. In addition, British jets are in the air as part of coordinated defensive operations, which he said had 'already successfully intercepted Iranian strikes'.

Gulf states, encouraged by Donald Trump, are on the verge of ending their neutrality in the war against Iran in reprisal for Tehran’s repeated “reckless and indiscriminate attacks” on their territory and infrastructure. “The United States abandoned the Gulf states and redirected its air defence to protect Israel. They left all the Gulf states that host American military bases at the mercy of Iranian strikes,” the official said. Nevertheless, the overwhelming focus of resentment from the Gulf states is directed towards Iran. They point out that they had given undertakings to Iran – with which they had abided – debarring the US from using its bases or airspace to attack Iran.

The war in the Middle East triggered by the joint US and Israeli attack on Iran expanded dramatically on Monday, with casualties and destruction reported across at least nine countries, including major strikes on Tehran. Iranian strikes map showing Iranian strikes“President Trump said new potential leadership in Iran has indicated they want to talk and eventually he will talk. “Iran, unlike the United States, has prepared itself for a long war,” he posted. An Israeli military spokesperson said there had been fewer attacks targeting Israel overnight since Sunday, which he attributed to Israeli strikes degrading Iran’s military capabilities. Iran’s nuclear programme is among the reasons Israel and the US have given for the attacks, alleging Iran was getting too close to being able to eventually make a nuclear bomb.
