A Politico opinion piece by Daniel Miller said Iran’s World Cup appearance in Los Angeles is forcing many Iranian Americans to choose between celebrating their heritage and rejecting the Islamic Republic, whose flag appears on the national team’s jerseys. The piece focused on Los Angeles, home to the largest Iranian community outside Iran, and said some Iranian Americans do not see Team Melli as representing the Iranian people because they view it as tied to the Islamic Republic. “I cannot stand the Islamic Republic flag at all,” Los Angeles restaurateur Roozbeh Farahanipour told Politico, adding that more than 20 of his friends and relatives had been killed by the Islamic Republic. “To me, this is not the Iranian team; this is the Islamic Republic’s team.” The article said the pre-revolution lion-and-sun flag, widely used by opponents of the Islamic Republic, has become common at protests in Los Angeles but is banned by FIFA under restrictions on political expression by fans. iranintl.com/en/202606067688

Trump claims his strikes haven't really hurt the Iranian military: "We've actually left their military alone. People would be surprised to hear that."

Donald Trump's job is not to save Iranian lives, but to protect American interests. So, when the people aren't at the table, no one can defend them. Les États-Unis et l'Iran entament des négociations à Oman dans un contexte géopolitique tendu rfi.my/CPtl.X via @RFI

Hi leftists and woke right, You've been barking nonstop about Gaza and occupation for 2.5 years. Thousands of us are here now in Los Angeles calling to remove the mass murderers occupying Iran. Jewish people showed up. Where are you??

As the people of Iran continue to fight for their basic rights, @SecRubio took action this week to revoke the privilege of Iranian senior officials and their family members to be in the United States. Those who profit from the Iranian regime's brutal oppression are not welcome to benefit from our immigration system.
