@BarakRavid That is a lie because we have a writer in Iran whose Internet is back on sent us an article this morning. It would not be back on without a deal ... It is a book about Iranian basketball not a political announcement ... https://t.co/BvCur44sxF

As Iran's internet flickers back online, one of the first stories breaking out of Tehran:

A landmark new book — "The Social History of Iranian Women’s Basketball" by veteran journalist & former player Afshin Rezapour — just dropped.

292 pages tracing 100+ years of the sport (1923–today) as a mirror to women’s evolving role in Iranian society across four eras.

Launched May 17 in Tehran.

Proof that even in tough times, Iranian women keep scoring on and off the court.

302 sanctions. 291 Russian athletes. 22 sports.

The forensic recovery of 24TB of Moscow Lab data proves cheaters can’t hide forever — even years later.

FIFA World Cup 2026 is a taxpayer nightmare.

FIFA pockets $11 BILLION in profits while Canada, the US & Mexico are stuck with billions in overruns.

Toronto’s costs exploded to $380M. Vancouver’s hit $624M. Host cities pay the bill.

FIFA keeps the cash.

Taxpayers get the hangover.

Cueing through grief: Sourav Kothari defended his IBSF World Billiards title in Ireland, crushing Pankaj Advani 1133-477 — exactly where his late father, legend Manoj Kothari, won it in 1990.

Pointing to the sky, he said, “It would not have been possible without my father’s blessings.”
