⚡️ Journalist Mohamed Kazan:
President Joseph Aoun to CNN: "The people will distance themselves from Hezbollah if it refuses to hand over its weapons to the state."
Your Excellency, tell the people how the state detonated the weapons it received south of the Litani River, by order of an American officer, while American cargo planes carrying deadly weapons land daily in enemy airports.
Establish a sovereign state that is not ordered around by an American officer... then demand the surrender of weapons.
⭕️ The World Cup Is Here. Not Everyone Is Welcome
As the FIFA World Cup gets underway on U.S. soil, a pattern of visa denials and border incidents is casting a dark shadow on the tournament.
◽️ Iraq: Striker Aymen Hussein was held for nearly seven hours at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport upon arrival for a pre-tournament friendly. The team’s photographer was denied entry outright over what U.S. Customs and Border Protection described as “vetting concerns,” with no further details provided. Iraq is making its first World Cup appearance in 40 years. (Chicago Sun Times)
◽️ Morocco: At least 90 fans from two major supporters’ groups were denied U.S. visas ahead of the tournament, most under a clause citing doubts about their intention to return home — despite documented travel histories to Russia 2018, Qatar 2022, and the Paris Olympics. Some lost tens of thousands of dirhams in non-refundable bookings. (Canary)
◽️ Somalia: FIFA-appointed referee Omar Artan was denied entry to the U.S. and immediately sent back, according to journalist Romain Molina. Even a diplomatic passport secured through the Somali embassy in Nairobi was not enough to gain entry.
Even Hitler's Germany did not prevent athletes and officials from entering the country to take part in the 1936 Olympics.
This is pristine racism and @FIFAcom stands disgraced for allowing Trump to disfigure the beautiful game in this way.
Before the 2010 World Cup, many commentators predicted disaster simply because the tournament was being hosted in South Africa. Years later, similar claims were made about Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022, with critics insisting that hosting the world’s biggest football event in those countries would inevitably lead to failure.
At the same time, the United States was often presented as the ideal host nation—praised for its democratic system, modern infrastructure, and world-class stadiums.
Now guess the country that build billion-dollar stadiums, claimed to be the land of opportunity, Then denied entry to players, officials, and even a FIFA-appointed referee.
He is only 33 years old. This is the biggest moment of his career. He’s probably been waiting for it for months.
But who will talk about it? There are 48 teams, hundreds of players, and representatives from all over the world. Who will finally speak up?
🚨 WORST @FIFAcom PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME: INFANTINO SILENT AS US HUMILIATES AFRICA
Gianni Infantino selected Omar Abdulkadir Artan — Africa's top referee and first Somali at a World Cup — then watched US authorities deny him entry at the border despite diplomatic passport and approved visa. Turned back like trash. No reason. No fight.
Where is your voice, Infantino?
You preach "global football" and "unity" while selling out African officials to US border politics. This isn't leadership — it's cowardice and betrayal of the game.
You are proving every day why you are the worst FIFA president in history. Africa will not forget this disgrace.
Stand up or step down.
ABD, İsviçreli Embolo'ya vize vermedi. İncelemeye alındı, günler sonra takıma katılabildi.
İran Milli Takımı günlerce Ankara'da konsolosluk önünde vize için beklemek zorunda kaldı. ABD sadece maç günleri ülkeye giriş yapma şartıyla verdi. Arka planda çalışan 15 kişiye vize verilmedi.
Irak Milli Takım oyuncusu, ABD'ye gitti, ancak 7 saate yakın sorguda tutuldu. Sonrasında ülkeye girişine izin verildi.
Afrika'da 2025 yılının en iyi hakemi seçilen ve turnuvada görev alacak olan Omar Artan'a vize verilmedi. Somali kendisine diplomatik pasaport verdi ve ABD'ye uçtu, ancak girişine izin verilmedi ve ülkesine gönderildi.
Güney Afrika Milli Takımı kafilenin yarısına vize verilmediği için planlanandan çok sonra ABD'ye gidebildi.
Birleşik Krallık vatadaşlarının ESTA sistemine kayıt olmaları halinde 90 gün vizesiz ABD'ye giriş hakları olmasına rağmen İskoç taraftarların vizeleri günler kala iptal edildi.
Biletlerini alan otellerde yerini ayırtan ABD vizeleri reddedildi. Paraları da yandı.
Dört yılda bir yapılan bir turnuvanın başlamadan içine ettiniz beyler! @FIFAWorldCup@FIFAcom
La seleccion de fútbol de Irán llegó a México, donde se alojará durante el Mundial. Si bien jugará todos sus partidos en EEUU, Trump les negó hospedaje y los obliga a salir del país apenas termine cada encuentro. La FIFA aceptó ese acto de mal anfitrión.
النائب سجيع عطية : اليوم الحزب ما قادر يطلّع الاحتلال، قلنالو طيب انت جربت وما قدرت فعطينا فرصة تا نجرب نحنا … ما عم يقبل .
دانيا الحسيني : للاسف ما بيقبل …
يبدو سعادته وجنابها كانوا عا كوكب الزهرة كل فترة الـ ١٥ شهر قبل آذار.
Hazem Qassem:
Iran has informed us, along with Yemeni officials, of their efforts to stop the war on various fronts, including the Gaza Strip.
We hope that the Gaza Strip will be at the core of any regional arrangements to end the war and stop the aggression.
We are dealing positively with the proposals put forward in Cairo, and we are striving to reach quick solutions.
We are keen to reach an agreement that stops the war on Gaza and ends the suffering of the population.
We appreciate the Iranian and Yemeni support and solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Of course, the traitors at the Palestinian Authority and the Lebanese government have met each other.
Both parties that work for and under Israel’s regime leadership are the predominant reason behind the suffering of the Palestinian & Lebanese people.
Dismantling them is a prerequisite to our liberation.
⚡️ The Lebanese Forces party are in a state of hysterical frenzy over Iran's bombing of Israel to defend Beirut:
Following Iran's bombing of northern occupied Palestine in defense of Beirut and the southern suburbs, Charles Jabbour, the LF media head, calls for a global coalition to destroy Iran otherwise the world will end and the planet will regret it.
إحتفال فتح مطار جديد أهم من دم الجيش يلي عم يدافع عن الأرض أعزل بدون سلاح دفاع و بيحكوا بالدولة القوية، يا عيب الشوم 😏
الله يرحم شهداء الجيش اللبنانيي💔⚔️
🚨💣 BREAKING ! Omar Abdulkadir Artan, meilleur arbitre CAF 2025, s'est vu REFUSER l'entrée sur le territoire américain. ❌🛂🇺🇸
IL N'OFFICIERA PAS DURANT CETTE COUPE DU MONDE : COMPLÈTEMENT DINGUE ! 😳🇸🇴
Véritable fierté de son pays, il était le premier arbitre Somalien à officier en Coupe du Monde : il devra donc rentrer chez lui.
Por reglamentación, las selecciones deben estar en la ciudad sede del partido mínimo 48 hrs previo al mismo. Algo fundamental para el trabajo de reconocimiento de cancha, descanso adecuado y aclimatación. La FIFA le permite a EEUU pasarse sus propias reglas por el fundillo.
