Let me explain why Iran and the US are trading shots again.
Under the MOU, Iran was to control the Strait of Hormuz shipping corridor for 60 days. Trump instead quietly backed a second route along Oman's coast, bypassing Iran's control.

The racist, dehumanising remarks against @KMbappe by Paraguayan Sen. Celeste Amarilla are despicable, regrettably not isolated.
States & sports organisations must prevent acts of racism & discrimination, and ensure independent and effective accountability. Social media must also prevent and address racial discrimination on their platforms.

Host: Folarin Balogun was born in New York, but he was only born in the U.S. because his mother was denied the ability to fly home after being in the U.S. on vacation. Trump is so fixated on getting rid of birthright citizenship, but he is fighting for this individual to play on the field for the U.S.
