The USA forced Iran to fly into the USA on the day of their match with New Zealand and then as soon as the match finished forced them on a plane back to Mexico.
Now the USA are saying a bunch of Iran's players including the captain can't come back because their visa's expired.
🚨🇮🇷 BREAKING — World Cup “Disaster”
Mohammad Mohebi and Mehri Taremi Say:
“Not to Make Excuses but This Is Not a Fair Competition.”
Iranian Players argued they should arrive 2 days before matches instead of traveling, training, and playing while exhausted by 5 hours in Immigration Controls and Transit.
Iran v. New Zealand ended around 8pm here in Los Angeles.
At 10:07pm, Iran players were on a bus bound for the airport, where they'd fly back to Tijuana. World Cup organizers wouldn't let them stay and recover.
“Everything is like a disaster for us," Mehdi Taremi said.
Very good at dropping bombs on:
Schoolgirls.
Hospitals.
Universities.
Drinking water infrastructure.
Bridges.
Power and communications infrastructure.
Critical civilian infrastructure.
Historical sites.
Places of worship.
*Rússia banida da copa por atacar a Ucrânia*
*EUA que vai sediar a copa atacou o Irã e está impendindo que os jogadores iranianos durmam no país durante o evento*
presidente da FIFA:
Les USA politisent la Coupe du Monde en refusant les joueurs iraniens, en refusant un photographe irakien et un très grand arbitre somalien.
Ils appliquent leur politique de ségrégation pour prendre en otage un évènement mondial. Toujours aucune voix pour un boycott.
Gaza is taking its last breaths, and the situation we have reached is extremely dangerous.
Temperatures are rising to suffocating levels, and the tents where hundreds of thousands live have turned into ovens made of fabric and plastic. There is no electricity, no air conditioning, no fans, no cold water. People try to sleep, but heat, hunger, and fear make sleep seem like an impossible dream.
Clean water is scarce, cleaning supplies are almost nonexistent, and essential medicines are unavailable. Skin diseases are spreading in a terrifying way among children and adults, while garbage piles up and sewage mixes with displacement areas, spreading even more suffering.
Long lines form for food, yet many return empty handed. Aid is decreasing, and most relief centers have stopped or are no longer able to meet even the minimum needs.
At night, rats, insects, snakes, and scorpions crawl into the tents, while during the day people face unbearable heat and endless hunger. There is no safety, no privacy, and nowhere to go. Meanwhile, killings and destruction continue daily, while Gaza’s space shrinks day by day, forcing people into smaller and more overcrowded areas.
This is not life. This is not displacement. This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity.
What more is the world waiting for? How many children must go hungry? How many patients must die before the world acts? Do not stay silent. Speak about Gaza. Share what is happening.
No country should be allowed to host the World Cup while imposing discriminatory rules on qualified and participating teams.
This ought to be a very basic requirement.

@ProudSocialist Ghadeer is not about dividing Muslims — it is about uniting humanity under a flag of justice. Ali's flag. A flag that never bowed to power, never compromised with oppression, and never abandoned the weak.

Zionists hunt down Lebanese paramedics, but have you heard a single word of condemnation from Western regimes? Have Western parliaments sanctioned Tel Aviv? Are Western journalists demanding action?
Of course not. They are your enemies.
The Lancet, a wold-leading medical journal has warned that damage to #Pasteur_Institute of Iran, as the result of U.S./Israeli attacks, threatens regional health security.
According to The Lancet, "The Pasteur Institute of Iran has been a pillar of the country’s public health system for more than a century. This institute has provided key public health infrastructure on multiple fronts, including vaccine development and production, national reference laboratory services, diagnostics, and genomic surveillance for infectious diseases, including SARS-CoV-2, cholera, rabies, measles, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and viral hepatitis. The loss of the institute is not merely symbolic; it represents a real, immediate, and dangerous threat to public health. [...] This is not solely a national issue; regional health security is also at risk."
Attacking a century-old scientific and public health institution is not merely an attack on a building; it is an assault on people’s right to health, science, and life.
The American-Israeli deliberate attack on the Pasteur Institute of Iran was a flagrant war crime. The perpetrators must be held accountable.
