Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:
No matter how much I think about it, I cannot find any logical reason why they killed our Leader, our commanders, and our scientists.
We stand shoulder to shoulder with our European colleagues and fully support the collective view.
We oppose FIFA’s plans. The FIFA World Cup belongs to football and always will.

Iran is widening the conflict, launching new attacks on U.S. allies across the Middle East.
Iranian drones struck parts of Kuwait, while the Islamic Revolutionary Guard threatened British military bases after the U.K. allowed the U.S. to launch B-1 bomber missions from its territory.
The escalation comes as Iran-backed Houthi rebels attacked two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, helping push oil prices above $100 a barrel and raising fears the war is expanding into a second front.
