Austrian lawmakers stepped up pressure on the Imam Austrian lawmakers stepped up pressure on the Imam Ali Islamic Center in Vienna on Thursday, after discussions in parliament signaled that a permanent closure of the institution is increasingly likely.

The move marks a significant escalation in Austria’s response to a center that critics have long accused of serving as a hub for repression, money laundering, espionage and the spread of radical ideology. Opponents also say the institution has played a role in activities that undermine the safety of dissident Iranians, as well as Austrian and other European citizens.

According to accounts of the parliamentary discussions, the issue was taken up with the backing of major political forces and the Austrian government, underscoring growing cross-party support for decisive action.

Among the parties pushing for the measure are the Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP), the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) and NEOS, the liberal party.

If confirmed, the closure would represent one of Austria’s strongest moves yet against an institution that has for years faced allegations of political intimidation, extremist influence and security-related misconduct.

April 22 (Reuters) – The suggestion that Iran should be replaced by Italy at this year’s World Cup drew a mix of embarrassment and apathy from Azzurri fans on Thursday, with Italian media reminding readers that the idea has a very familiar feel.

Donald Trump’s U.S. special envoy Paolo Zampolli told the Financial Times that he made the suggestion to the U.S. president and FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

“I’m an Italian native and it would be a dream to see the Azzurri at a US-hosted tournament. With four titles, they have the pedigree to justify inclusion,” said Zampolli, an Italian-American who is Trump’s envoy for “Global Partnership” but has no official connection with the World Cup or Italian football.

The plan seems to be an effort to repair ties between Trump and Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after the two fell out amid the American president’s attacks against Pope Leo XIV over the Iran war.

Italy’s main sports news websites have given the story only a passing reference.

Sports Minister Andrea Abodi told the Italian news agency La Press: “Firstly it is not possible, secondly it is not appropriate … You qualify on the pitch.”

Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti went futher, saying the idea was “shameful”.

Leading Italian coach Gianni De Biasi told Reuters it was an unlikely proposal with any theoretical Iranian absence logically filled by the team behind them in their qualification group.

“Furthermore, I believe Italy doesn’t need Trump’s support on an issue like this. I think we can manage on our own,” he said.

Soccer’s world governing body FIFA responded by pointing to Infantino’s previous comments on Iran‘s participation.

“The Iranian team is coming, for sure,” he told last week’s CNBC Invest in America Forum: “Iran has to come if they are to represent their people. They really want to play, and they should play. Sport should be outside politics.”

DUBAI/ISLAMABAD, April 23 (Reuters) – Iran showed off its tightened grip over the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday with video of its commandos storming a huge cargo ship, after the collapse of peace talks that Washington had hoped would open the world’s most important shipping corridor.

State television broadcast footage overnight of masked troops pulling up in a grey speedboat alongside the MSC Francesca, climbing a rope ladder to a shell door in the hull and jumping through brandishing rifles.

The footage, presented with an action-movie-style soundtrack and no commentary, also included views of another ship, the Epaminondas. Iran claimed to have captured both on Wednesday, accusing them of trying to cross the strait without permits.

The vice speaker of parliament, Hamidreza Hajibabaei, said the first revenue from a toll that Iran was now collecting from ships using the strait had been transferred to the central bank’s account. He gave no further detail about who had paid it, when or how much.

Iran‘s judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei said the merchant vessels attacked in the strait had “faced the law”. Iranian speedboats and marine drones were sheltering in sea caves off an island near the mouth of the strait and keeping the U.S. Navy from approaching.
