The proverb "به در گفت که دیوار بشنود" means speaking indirectly or metaphorically so that the intended audience gets the message without being directly addressed.

Recently, U.S. President Trump confirmed that American forces conducted powerful airstrikes against ISIS militants in northwestern Nigeria. According to the Pentagon and the U.S. African Command, these strikes, requested by Nigeria on Christmas Day, targeted ISIS fighters in Sokoto State.

Trump stated that these operations followed attacks on Christian communities, emphasizing Washington's tougher stance on security and religious freedom in Africa's most populous nation. He warned that if more Christians in Nigeria continue to be killed, more terrorists would face consequences. His message highlighted a grim "Merry Christmas" to those terrorists who were killed.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also condemned the killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria and elsewhere, underscoring the need for such violence to end. Earlier in November, Trump had hinted at the possibility of military action in Nigeria, affirming his commitment to addressing the situation.
