Go, Iran National Football Team, Go!

It is the first time in football history that the hosting nation of the world cup tournament is at war with one of the guest countries. 

The United States of America is one of the hosting countries of this year's biggest football touranment in the world. 

On the other hand, the U.S is currently engaged in a very brutal military conflict with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Unfortunately, all three of Iran's group stage games are to be played in the United States and being the rogue state it is, the U.S has taken the military confrontation with Iran to the football stage.

Under the hostile hand of the Americans, the Iranian national football team is facing unprecendented logistical challenges in this current torment. 

Had it not been for their resistant nature, the Iranians would have just given up on participating in the tournament and gone home! 

Had it also been in the power of the U.S to ban the Iranians from participating, they would unashamedly have do so. 

The Americans have been so hostile to the Iranians that they have chosen to use their hosting previleges to make participation almost impossible for the Iranians.

             Iran's national football team

The U.S. government denied visas to roughly 15 key administrative and managerial staff members from Iran's football federation, citing security concerns. Even for those cleared, the team was forced to navigate strict visa limitations, requiring them to commute into the U.S. only on match days. The playing staff will have to commute to and from Mexico on match days! 

Due to visa uncertainties and political tensions, the Iranian team had to move their operational headquarters and training base entirely outside of the host country, setting up operations in Tijuana, Mexico. 

Iranian citizens face severe difficulties obtaining U.S. visitor visas.

Consequently, FIFA revoked the 8% match ticket allocation for the Iranian federation, throwing fan travel plans into chaos due to both economic sanctions and an inability to guarantee entry into the U.S. 

Members of the delegation and team personnel face intense security monitoring by the U.S. State Department regarding potential ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

The few Iranian supporters who will manage to travel to the tournament face restrictions on certain symbols, as FIFA has strictly classified flags outside of the official state flag as prohibited political symbols.

The Iranians are facing all this because Iran has surprisingly  managed to militarily shake off the U.S bully back home in the Gulf.

Iran is fighting for all humanity, people!  We have shown them immense support during the war, let us show them our support on the pitch too! They need it. 

For the Iranians to resist being bullied into giving up participation is already a slap in the face of the world's biggest tyrant.

No matter how they perform, let us just support these boys! Go, Iran ! Go! Go humiliate the bully even on his own soil!

Trump's confusing policy on Iran: Oops! He didn't wage a war to make peace!

Iran's nuclear issues have been around for over 2 decades especially since dissidents in the country revealed uranium enrichment and heavy water facilities in Natanz and Arak in 2002. While the crisis began in 2002, Iran's legitimate nuclear program started in the 1950s under the U.S "Atoms for peace" program, which provided research reactors to the Shah of Iran, who was the leader of Iran during that time. Since the exposure of Iran's secret nuclear sites, controversy over Iran's covert nuclear enrichment has been ongoing, with Iran maintaining its right to peaceful nuclear technology while the international community has periodically restricted its program through negotiations and sanctions. Important to note is that since the birth of the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979, all power was vested in the Supreme Leader(Ayatollah) and his Fatwah(ruling) influences and can sometimes, override state legislation. A Fatwah by the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei ...

Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey alliance: Suspicious and dead on arrival.

While most analysts believe that the Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan pact is indeed here to replace the waning United States influence in the Middle East, I firmly stand to differ from this general opinion even if it means standing alone! Using a binoculars, one can clearly see a green snake gliding around in the green grass of this so called security pact.  The green snake is the United States of America! Without going any further, let me state that in my crazy opinion, this pact is in fact meant to save the U.S from completely losing its influence in the Middle East region by trying to cub the shocking military power of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Here is the reality, th e Gulf states have always been blind believers in America's unmatched power.  They gave out big chunks of land to the U.S to set up large military bases in their countries with the belief that in case of aggression, the invincible U.S will protect them.  Infact, these wealthy Arabs had began to loo...

The U.S-Iran war: A war in search of a mission

The United States together with Israel have always dreamed of destroying Iran especially after the 1979 Islamic Revolution which saw the outsing of the U.S -Israel puppet regime of Shah Reza Pahlavi.  Naturally, with its wounded ego, the U.S had to punish the Iranians for their "rebellion".  Over the years since the end of the Islamic Revolution, the U.S has given Iran a rough time.  At the hand of the mighty U.S.A, Iranians have faced numerous military campaigns against their territory.  Notably, is the Iran-Iraq war of 1980-1988 where the U.S supported Saddam Hussein of Iraq to launch a war against the Islamic Republic.  This came shortly after the country had gone through the tide of a Revolutionary war, before the it could fully stand on  its feet.  Iran has faced sanctions and global isolation at the hands of the brutal Americans.  Furthermore, the U.S jointly with Israel have ocassionally assassinated Iran's top military commamders and nucl...
