June 11 - I must have been no more than 5 years old when football first entered my memory, not as a game, but as sound.

Amjadieh Stadium in Tehran was roaring. It was 1968, and Iran faced Israel in the Asian Cup final — a politically charged match between two countries that still maintained official ties before the 1979 Revolution. Near the end, Parviz Ghelichkhani, one of Iran’s most celebrated footballers, scored the decisive goal, sending the stadium, and the streets of Tehran, into a kind of collective delirium.

I do not remember every detail, but I remember the feeling. I remember the surge of bodies, the disbelief, the joy. Above all, I remember ‘Mamad Bughi’, his drum and the chant: “DuDuRu DuDuRu Du Iran!”

For a child, it was perhaps the first lesson in belonging. Not the official kind, not the flag-waving nationalism that governments manufacture, but something more instinctive: the discovery that joy can be shared by thousands of strangers at once.

In a proud moment for our community, Nima “Neemz”

In a proud moment for our community, Nima “Neemz” Nakhshab, known on social media as the Movie Poster Guy, was invited by director Steven Spielberg to join the worldwide premiere tour for “Disclosure Day” after Spielberg took notice of his work. Neemz traveled to Paris, London, and New York alongside Spielberg, where fans at each stop were seen cheering and holding up his premiere posters. A lifelong Spielberg admirer, Neemz reflected on the significance of the experience, noting that years of dedication and hard work led him to this moment, one that felt especially meaningful for someone who grew up deeply influenced by Spielberg’s films. He described it as a memory he will carry for the rest of his life.

June 10 (Reuters) – Iran threatened to halt its ma

June 10 (Reuters) – Iran threatened to halt its matches at the World Cup if unauthorised flags are displayed or slogans targeting the national team are chanted at stadiums, Iranian media reported, citing Sports Minister Ahmad Donyamali, following criticism of the team’s presence at the tournament.

The World Cup begins on Thursday, with Iran opening their Group G campaign against New Zealand in Los Angeles on June 15. They next face Belgium at the same venue on June 21 before taking on Egypt in Seattle on June 26.

“We have informed FIFA that if unofficial flags are brought or slogans against the national team are chanted in the stadiums where Iran plays in the World Cup, the team manager will definitely be responsible for stopping the match,” Donyamali said on Tuesday, according to Iranian media.

“We have been assured that no disruptive incidents will occur in the stadium during the match against Egypt.”

Iran and Egypt’s football associations had previously urged FIFA to prevent any LGBTQ+ Pride-related activities during the Seattle match. The fixture had been designated by local organisers as a “Pride Match” to coincide with Seattle’s Pride weekend.

In April, protesters gathered outside the FIFA Congress in Vancouver called for Iran to be banned from the tournament, saying the team represents the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps rather than the Iranian people.

The Iranian team has also faced organizational challenges, with Iran’s football federation saying its ticket allocation was withdrawn days before the tournament, leaving supporters who had already made travel plans unable to attend their team’s matches.

The team, currently training in Tijuana, Mexico, will be able to enter the U.S. the day before each match, the Department of Homeland Security said, amid a conflict that has added a geopolitical dimension to the tournament.

WASHINGTON, June 10 (Reuters) – The U.S. governmen

WASHINGTON, June 10 (Reuters) – The U.S. government on Wednesday said it was imposing sanctions against 11 people and entities, including several based in China and Hong Kong, for supporting weapons procurement by Iran‘s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Iranian military.

Nine of those designated were China- and Hong Kong-based individuals and companies that facilitated the procurement of weapons for Iran‘s military, and a Hong Kong-based company operating within Iran’s clandestine banking network, the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control said in a statement.

The U.S. State Department also designated two companies and individuals based in Iran and Belarus in connection with Iran‘s conventional arms-related activities, Treasury said.

By Francois Murphy
VIENNA, June 10 (Reuters) – The U.N. nuclear watchdog’s 35-nation Board of Governors passed a U.S.-backed resolution on Wednesday telling Iran to declare its remaining enriched uranium stocks and let inspectors verify them, which could complicate Washington’s talks with Tehran.

The move came within hours of the U.S. and Iran trading military strikes after U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran had downed a U.S. Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz.

Israeli and U.S. attacks in June of last year destroyed or badly damaged Iranian uranium-enrichment plants but much of the enriched uranium they produced, including material close to weapons-grade, is thought to have survived.
