In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.
For Infantino there is another twist. His standing as FIFA president allowed him to swerve usual tricky path for foreigners to be granted Lebanese citizenship recently. The country where his wife is from. It’s currently being bombed by Israel. Nothing from FIFA leader on fate of his countrymen
FIFA stripped Indonesia of its right to host the u20 World Cup when they said Israel could not play in the tournament there. Interesting precedent @philippeauclair.bsky.social @migueldelaney.bsky.social
This by Trump is a clear violation of their host country commitments.
Thank you EP. 💚🤍🧡

These people have been dreaming of this day for 35 years.
Comes across that way. When you’re ready for super niche content and want to discuss His Majesty’s Cup Final in Oman…you know where I am!
