Thinking again about those 150 Iranian sailors who were slaughtered on their way back from India for absolutely nothing.

This is sabotage. FIFA and the US are using the VISA entry process to racially profile and target the athelets, support teams and their fans and family members as a measure of political sabotage, and charging people US$15,000 for a US VISA is extortion.

What the #FIFA and Trump did to #Iran’s national team is basically the equivalent of breaking their legs and then sending them onto the field. They are coming from a country that has been at war since February. They have not had proper matches since the war started. Then they were forced to move their base from Arizona to Tijuana because of visa issues, travel for hours to reach Los Angeles, play under exhausting conditions, and leave the U.S. immediately after the match. And after all that, people want to mock them for drawing 2-2 with #NewZealand? Are you kidding me? They have world ranking of 20 for a reason. But of course Trump is fixing their games.

Polymarket played a crucial role in manufacturing consent for the US-Israeli war on Iran, which featured the massacre of 168 schoolgirls and teachers on its first day, and ran bets on the assassination if its leaders Polymarket is advised by Don Jr, who’s profited from the war

'In this World Cup’s great convergence of 48 nations, one is conspicuously not receiving the same treatment as the other 47. 'And however much Gianni Infantino might try to posture as the ultimate peacemaker, he must surely see that the longer this problem persists, the graver the implications will be for his tournament’s integrity.'

This is so sad man

Se festeja el primer gol de Irán 🇮🇷 , parte del equipo técnico que se quedó sin visa en Tijuana festeja este movimiento.

This team had to overcome so many obstacles to arrive in Los Angeles. So many of these players were simply trying to survive a war few months back. They had to navigate a uniquely complicated geopolitical situation to even make it here. I am beyond proud of their resilience.

Proud of Team Melli Their road to the World Cup 2026 hasn’t been easy as they faced war, visa problems, and discrimination. Yet they still showed up and played with grit ❤️

Is it me or this Iranian flag is at the center of this shop in Penn Station by pure “accident”?

There couldn't be a clearer indicator of how much things have shifted away geopolitically from Washington's grasp; you got Polish government officials saying inshallah to local reporters when talking about Iran.

Les queremos mucho Irán.

The worst part is him saying the strike on the elementary school in Minab (that killed 168 schoolchildren and teachers) "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines."

The probability that @DarioAmodei’s statement that Anthropic does not know how the military used Claude is zero. They know everything. In fact, they almost surely reviewed the prompt that triggered the targeting of the girls school in Minab.
