March 26 (Reuters) – Iran coach Amir Ghalenoei praised Mehdi Taremi’s impact after the Inter Milan striker scored twice in a 2-2 draw with Uzbekistan on Tuesday that secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup finals.

Taremi has endured an inconsistent season due to injury since joining the Italian side from Porto on a free transfer last summer but his two goals made all the difference for the national team in Tehran.

“A great player must help both technically and physically,” Ghalenoei said.

“Taremi is one of them, and even though he plays for a great team and is not in good condition and could have missed the season, he played and was with the team and played for the people.

“He became the best player on the field and I am happy that, in most games, he is the best player on the field from the Iranian national team.”

Taremi’s first goal at the Azadi Stadium came in the 52nd minute when he smashed home a volley to cancel out Hojimat Erkinov’s 16th minute opener for the visitors.

And while Abbosbek Fayzullaev restored Uzbekistan’s lead a minute later, it was Taremi who struck from close range seven minutes from time to secure the point Iran required to secure their place at the finals in North America.

Taremi’s goal-scoring display, which took his tally to 54 in 92 internationals, came after the 32-year-old missed Iran’s 2-0 win over the United Arab Emirates on Thursday due to illness while groin issues have impacted his season in Milan.

He has started only 14 times since his switch to Italy after five seasons as a prolific scorer in Portugal for Rio Ave and Porto but his exploits on Tuesday helped Iran seal a fourth consecutive trip to the World Cup.

With their place now assured, Ghalenoei has set his sights on taking the Iranians into the knockout rounds of the expanded World Cup for the first time.

MADRID, March 25 (Reuters) – In a messaging grou

MADRID, March 25 (Reuters) – In a messaging group that mistakenly disclosed plans by the U.S. to attack Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis to a journalist, senior Trump administration officials including persons identified as Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accused Europe of “free-loading” and questioned whether the U.S. should be “bailing Europe out again”.

Here is how the attacks on ships in the Red Sea by Houthis have affected trade for Europe and the U.S.:

WHAT IS THE SITUATION IN THE RED SEA?

The U.S. on March 16 launched large-scale military strikes against the Houthis that killed at least 31 people in response to the group’s threats to resume attacks against ships passing through the Red Sea.

The strikes came after the Houthis, an armed movement that took control of most of Yemen over the past decade, said on March 12 they would resume attacks on Israeli ships passing through the Red and Arabian seas, ending a relative calm that began in January with the Gaza ceasefire.

There have been no seaborne attacks on shipping reported since that threat was made, though the U.S. and Israel say they have intercepted missiles and drones launched from Yemen.

Since November 2023, the Houthis have launched more than 100 attacks on ships off Yemen’s coast, which they say were in solidarity with Palestinians over Israel’s war in Gaza with Hamas militants.

The attacks caused traffic passing through the Suez canal to fall by 75% in 2024 and have increased transit times by an average seven to 14 days, as shipping companies take longer alternative routes, according to U.S.-based supply chain management technology company project44.

They have also forced the U.S. military into a costly campaign to intercept missiles and drones that have burned through its stocks of air defences.

By Ryan Patrick Jones
March 25 (Reuters) – The United States has imposed sanctions on three Iranian intelligence officers for their alleged involvement in the disappearance of former FBI Special Agent Robert Levinson, the U.S. Treasury and State departments said in press releases on Tuesday.

The sanctions on Reza Amiri Moghadam, Gholamhossein Mohammadnia, and Taqi Daneshvar of Iran‘s Ministry of Intelligence and Security are the latest linked to the disappearance of the former FBI agent, who Washington believes was abducted in Iran and died in captivity.

As a result of the sanctions, any property of the men under U.S. jurisdiction must be blocked and Americans are generally barred from dealing with them. Foreign persons also risk blacklisting for dealing with them.

“Iran’s treatment of Mr. Levinson remains a blight on Iran’s already grim record of human rights abuse,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement. “The Department of the Treasury will continue to work with U.S. government partners to identify those responsible and shine a light on their abhorrent behavior.”

Levinson, who was working as a private investigator, disappeared in March 2007 after traveling to an island controlled by Iran for a meeting seeking information on alleged corruption involving former Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.

The three sanctioned individuals all played a role in Levinson’s abduction, detention and probable death, as well as efforts to cover up Iran‘s responsibility, the Treasury Department said.

The sanctions are being imposed under an executive order signed by former President Joe Biden, which seeks to hold to account terrorist organizations, criminal groups and other “malicious actors” who take hostages for financial or political gain.

The U.S. previously sanctioned two other Iranian officials in December 2020 who it accused of involvement in Levinson’s disappearance.

March 25 (Reuters) – Iran confirmed their qualification for the 2026 World Cup on Tuesday as Mehdi Taremi scored a second-half double to earn his side a 2-2 draw with Uzbekistan in Tehran’s Azadi Stadium in Group A of Asia’s preliminaries.

Needing a point to join Japan among the Asian nations at the finals, the Iranians twice went behind only for Inter Milan striker Taremi to rescue his team and book their ticket for the tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Hojimat Erkinov put Uzbekistan ahead in the 16th minute, making the most of hesitation in the Iranian defence to slide his shot past Alireza Beiranvand.

But seven minutes into the second half Taremi levelled, lashing an unstoppable volley over the outstretched hand of Utkir Yusupov.

It took Uzbekistan a minute to reclaim the lead, Abbosbek Fayzullaev’s free kick from the left evading three home defenders, who allowed the ball to bounce beyond Beiranvand and across the line.

Taremi, however, bailed out his team again with seven minutes remaining, pouncing with his outstretched boot on a bouncing ball inside the six-yard box to score.

The point guarantees Iran one of the two automatic berths available from Group A at the finals as Amir Ghalenoei’s side move onto 20 points from eight games, 10 more than third-placed UAE, who face North Korea later on Tuesday.

Uzbekistan remain in second place on 17 points while 10-man Qatar slipped to a 3-1 loss to Kyrgyzstan in Bishkek. Aleksandr Mishchenko and Alimardon Shukurov scored to seal the win that kept alive Kyrgyzstan’s slim hopes of a place in the next phase of preliminaries.

Australia took another stride towards qualification with Tony Popovic’s side handing China a 2-0 defeat in Hangzhou as Group C rivals Saudi Arabia were held to a 0-0 draw by already-qualified Japan at Saitama Stadium.

The Socceroos made it six points out of six in the current window as first-half goals from Jackson Irvine and Nishan Velupillay earned Australia another success after Thursday’s 5-1 win against Indonesia.

March 25 - Iran secured their spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Uzbekistan at Tehran’s Azadi Stadium. Mehdi Taremi was the hero for Iran, scoring both goals, while Uzbekistan’s Hojimat Erkinov and Abdukholiq Fayzullaev found the net for their side. The result was enough for Iran to qualify for their fourth consecutive World Cup appearance, continuing their impressive streak on the global stage.
