Why do @FIFAWorldCup and the free press bend over backwards to protect the Islamic Republic? The fact that cameras at the World Cup purposely cut off the shots of Iran fans to exclude their Lion and Sun flags is baffling. We should not have to convince anyone to care about the horrors this regime has inflicted on innocent Iranians for decades.
Disappointed by @FifaPresident & his silence surrounding
Mohebi's violent gesture. Such actions have no place in sports and undermine the essence of the World Cup. For the integrity of the game there must be consequences. We demand a proper reprimand! #Sportsmanship
This move is a terrorist display by a player from the Sepah (IRGC) national football team.
In addition to suspending this player for his terrorist behavior, he must also be arrested.
FIFA, instead of censoring the voice of the Iranian people, do something useful for once and immediately suspend this player Mohebi !

Mohammad Mohebi just made a finger-gun gesture toward Iranian fans holding the Lion and Sun flag. He should be investigated and removed from the country. This is a threatening act to the Iranian people in the Stadium.

Football should never be used to normalize or glorify gestures that can be interpreted as threatening or encouraging violence. After the killing of 45,000 people by the Islamic Republic regime in the streets of Iran during #Jan8and9, 2026, while an entire nation mourns its sons and daughters, seeing a player celebrate with a gun gesture directed at football fans who oppose the Islamic regime in Iran sends a deeply disturbing and threatening message. FIFA must review this conduct under its disciplinary regulations and uphold the principles of respect, sportsmanship, and fair play.

«فوتبال هرگز نباید به ابزاری ��رای عادی��ازی یا ستایش حرکاتی تبدیل شود که میتوان آنها را تهدیدآمیز یا مشوق خشونت تعبیر کرد. پس از کشته شدن ۴۵ هزار نفر به دست رژیم جمهوری اسلامی در خیابانهای ایران طی #۸و۹ژانویه ۲۰۲۶، در حالی که ملتی در سوگ فرزندان خود نشسته است، دیدن شادی گل یک بازیکن با ژست شلیک اسلحه به سمت هواداران فوتبالی که مخالف حکومت اسلامی در ایران هستند، پیامی عمیقاً نگرانکننده و تهدیدآمیز ارسال میکند. فیفا باید این رفتار را بر اساس مقررات انضباطی خود بررسی کرده و از اصول احترام، روحیه ورزشکاری و بازی جوانمردانه دفاع کند.»
It should be reminded that IRGC-linked media openly declared Team Melli their "soldiers" on foreign soil and that they expected them to act accordingly.
Take this machine gun gesture as you will.
