Iran’s World Cup squad has been notified they must enter and leave US soil on the same day of their matches played in America, says Tehran’s ambassador to Mexico.

The Abu Haikal's surrounded by settlers in Tel Rumedia (Hebron). I remember Feryal, the grandmother, fighting with the Israelis for weeks to save her olive tree - sitting in front of bulldozers in 2012. She also lost her daughter Arwa to COVID. The family has been through so much
A surveillance camera caught a brutal assault by an Israeli soldier and settlers on two young Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
Video shows the victims being thrown to the ground and repeatedly beaten, including with a wooden plank, leaving them motionless.
The war on Iran was a strategic mistake. Attempting to compensate for that failure by pressuring Gulf states to join the Abraham Accords and normalize relations with Israel would be another. Regional stability is built through diplomacy and consensus, not coercion and threats.
Let's decode what actually happened here.
Axios reported that Trump exploded at Netanyahu. Called him "fucking crazy." Said "you'd be in prison if it weren't for me." Said "everybody hates you now."
The journalist is Barak Ravid again, we talked about it. Israeli. Based in Washington. Covers the Netanyahu-US relationship for Axios, and every latest deals to calm the markets.
This is the same journalist who wrote the exact same type of story about Biden. There is literally a book chapter about this pattern. It is called "Fuming Biden." The same reporter. The same format. The same function. Different president.
Now watch the response.
Mark Levin, a close ally of both Trump and Netanyahu, did not deny the story. He demanded an FBI investigation into who leaked it. When your defense is "this should never have leaked" instead of "this never happened," you have confirmed the call happened.
But here is the part that matters.
Why would Levin, a friend to BOTH men, confirm the most explosive account of their relationship ever published?
Because it serves both.
Trump gets to look tough. Not Netanyahu's puppet. Willing to put Israel in its place. His base loves it.
Netanyahu gets cover. He "paused" the Beirut strike, but not because Iran threatened him. Because his "friend" asked him to. His base loves it too.
And look at what actually changed on the ground. Nothing.
Israel cancelled the Beirut strike. But the ground invasion of Lebanon continues. The IDF is still miles deep. A soldier died today from a Hezbollah drone. Netanyahu's office said: "position unchanged."
The performance was perfect. Trump gets the headline. Netanyahu gets the cover. The deal gets another 48 hours of "progress." Markets get a reason to breathe.
And the war continues exactly as planned.
This is the same playbook. Every time public opinion turns against the war, a story appears showing the US president is "furious" with Israel. It creates the illusion of restraint while changing nothing.
Biden was "furious" for 14 months. The war never stopped.
Trump is "furious" now. The ground invasion is expanding.
The visible game is: Trump controls Netanyahu.
The real game is: both men are performing for their audiences while the machine moves forward.
Nothing has been signed. Nothing has stopped. The war is not winding down. It is being managed.
Neither one controls the other. They walk arm in arm. Know that.
“What the fuck are you doing?!” Trump lit into Netanyahu over the Lebanon bombing:
“You're fucking crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this."

I remember how SkyNews Arabia became a mouthpiece of official UAE talking points against Qatar during the blockade
It has since become a tool for Abu Dhabi to try to whitewash its support to the genocidal RSF in Sudan

Breaking news: Iranian news agency Tasnim said that the suspension would remain in place until 'the positions of Iran and its allied proxy forces are taken into account'. https://t.co/wedPpDdwvH
The procrastination in finalizing a U.S.–Iran MOU is buying time for Netanyahu to continue his devastating war in Lebanon. Whether by design or default, diplomacy stalls while destruction and displacement continue-raising questions about whose interests these delays really serve.
