🇮🇷 Just landed in Los Angeles and will be attending tonight’s World Cup match.
I’ll be turning my back when the Islamic Republic’s anthem is played, but I cannot cheer against players whose families face threats and who live under the constant threat of asset confiscation.
There are a few bad apples and open regime supporters, such as Mehdi Torabi, but the vast majority are footballers caught in circumstances they did not create.
Forever Iran. 🇮🇷⚽️
They called our national team weak.
They refused to give us proper visas.
They took away the tickets for our fans.
Make it happen, the world needs a matchup between us, WE need a matchup between us!
We will kick you out of the tournament on YOUR OWN SOIL!
Entegham vaght dare ✌🏽
IRAN 💚🤍❤️
🚨| Sardar Azmoun reacts to being dropped from Iran’s 2026 World Cup Squad.
“It’s true, I am not with you, but since you are my friends, there is no reason not to wish you success.
Many want to ruin me, but these
stories are not true. Good luck guys 💪”
Important context:
These negotiations were never supposed to lead anywhere. Rather, it was a way for the US to resupply, refuel, and show the world that "We tried talking to them and it failed".
Now they can finish the job.
