JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iranian delegation will not continue official meetings with US until President Trump apologizes for his latest threats, Al Mayadeen reports.
This is the opening ceremony of the 2022 World Cup.
This was the World Cup everyone claimed Qatar couldn't pull off, but they ended up hosting arguably the best, most organised World Cup in recent memory.
The Quran recitation and the calm atmosphere gave it a unique feel never seen before.
Now, we wait to see what the upcoming tournament in North America will bring.
The bar has been set incredibly high, and it is going to take a lot more than the usual American corporate and media hype to match this level of soul and standard.
🚨 Turkish President Erdogan on Israel:
“We all know that the attacks first targeting Gaza, then Yemen and Lebanon, and most recently Iran, are not solely about security.
It is no coincidence that alongside these attacks, various absurd notions — from the delusion of the ‘promised lands’ to apocalyptic scenarios — are being pushed onto the agenda.
A network that has gained power and considers itself superior to others is gradually dragging our region, step by step, toward disaster.”
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
Spain’s MEP Irene Montero slams von der Leyen on Iran:
“Bombs have never brought freedom.
Iraq. Afghanistan. Syria.
These were not wars for freedom. They were wars for oil. Wars for profit
Now they are putting all of us in danger again.
If you want war — then go yourselves.”
BREAKING
Belgium’s MEP Marc Botenga:
“You claim to stand with the people of Iran while you offer European bases to US killing machines.
While you support Israel’s chemical warfare as they poison the air of Tehran with toxic fires and black rain, spreading cancers for decades.
From Iran, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and Iraq — your bombs never brought democracy and never will.
They bring chaos. Death. Destruction. And the unbearable silence of children who will never come home.”
