US Military Plans Nigeria Intervention to Protect Christians

The US military, under President Trump's orders, is preparing intervention plans in Nigeria to protect Christians from Islamist attacks. The Pentagon has drawn up three escalation options, including ground support and airstrikes against militant strongholds in Nigeria's north.

Despite concerns about the impact and feasibility of large-scale campaigns, military planners are working on potential actions. The plans follow Trump's directive and quick responses from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Major General Paul D. Eaton, a retired Army officer, has expressed concerns about the potential intervention.
