Pepe Escobar:
Iran was ROBBED by FIFA. On American soil.
English great Alan Shearer:
“That is one of the worst VAR decisions I've seen on a World Cup stage. If the officials can't get a moment like that right with every replay available, then you have to ask what VAR is actually there for.”
“You're not talking about a throw-in or a corner you're talking about a goal that could have changed an entire nation's World Cup. That level of incompetence is simply unacceptable.”
“The referee and the VAR officials have to be held accountable. You cannot make a decision of that magnitude, hide behind technology, and then expect everyone to move on as if nothing happened.”
“Iran earned that moment. The players celebrated, the fans celebrated, and millions back home believed they had witnessed history. Then, within seconds, a disastrous decision ripped it all away.”
“This isn't just a mistake it has consequences. Careers, dreams, and years of sacrifice can be destroyed by one wrong call. That's why the standard for VAR has to be far higher than this.”
“If that decision was incorrect, then football owes Iran an explanation. The officials will walk into another match next week, but Iranian supporters will remember this moment for the rest of their lives. That's the real tragedy.”

"Where is the integrity of the Lebanese authority and its responsibility towards its people and the protection of Lebanon’s sovereignty, which the American guardian did not grant a ceasefire to?
Direct negotiations are purely gratuitous concessions to Israel because they are meetings to impose submission to the demands of aggression.
You have no leverage to fight with because you voluntarily abandoned the power of the resistance and the people. You stabbed the resistance in the back by declaring it outlawed in the heart of the war, from the very first moment, by the government's ill-fated decision.
The memorandum of understanding guarantees the safety of Lebanese territory and its sovereignty through a complete Israeli withdrawal agreed upon within 60 days. The authorities are legitimizing the continuation of the occupation for many years and may even lead to the annexation of these lands to the Zionist entity.
Any agreement must be limited to the area south of the Litani River and must not be linked to any internal Lebanese matters concerning weapons, security, or the future of the country. Linking the Israeli withdrawal to the disarmament of the resistance throughout Lebanon is a very dangerous proposal that crosses all red lines. No one has the right to deprive the Lebanese of their right to defend themselves and their land against the occupier of our land and the killer of our people.
The framework agreement in Washington is humiliating, shameful, and a surrender of sovereignty. The framework agreement is nonexistent and the provisions of the Iranian-American memorandum of understanding must be implemented. We will pursue all means and international and Arab pressures to ensure the enemy adheres to the first clause of the memorandum of understanding and withdraws from Lebanon.
It is time for the Lebanese authorities to retract their sin that is destroying Lebanon, and we are ready to cooperate for the sovereignty of Lebanon and the liberation of its land. We did not abandon the field in the most difficult circumstances and we will not abandon it."

The statement issued by the so-called "Tripartite Framework" in Washington, comprising the United States, Israel, and Lebanon, reveals a distortion of facts and concepts, particularly concerning the legitimate resistance, its rights, and its national role, as well as those who constitute the actual and legal threat to Lebanese sovereignty. The statement deliberately inverts the truth and adopts and perpetrates forbidden and reprehensible acts with premeditation.
The statement also demonstrates the Lebanese government's complete subservience to the logic of American hegemony and its complicity with the Zionist enemy against its own people, who are deeply rooted in their land, reject the Israeli occupation, and are steadfast, sacrificing, and refusing to submit or surrender.
The Lebanese government's position, as expressed in the statement, transcends mere shame, disgrace, and depravity. It amounts to a betrayal of Lebanon's sovereignty, the rights and interests of the Lebanese people, their dignity and aspirations, and a blatant disregard for them, a deception of them, and a falsification of their free and honorable national will. The core of this framework agreement remains its insidious and sinister purpose: to legitimize the continued Israeli occupation of Lebanon and provide a loophole that the signatories of the statement mistakenly believe allows America to evade its explicit commitment to Iran regarding its responsibility to pressure Israel to withdraw completely from Lebanon and respect its sovereignty and territorial integrity. The preamble to this framework agreement declares that Lebanon, under American auspices, has agreed to Israel's conditions for withdrawal, and that both parties have pledged to disarm the resistance as a prelude to Israeli redeployment, not a complete withdrawal.
This is an ominous and utterly unacceptable statement, a mere hooting of an owl in Lebanon and the region.
May Allah protect Lebanon and the Lebanese people... and may the responsibility rest upon the honorable, the free, the courageous, and the sovereign.

🇮🇱🇱🇧 The Political Bureau of the Lebanese shia Amal Movement has issued the following statement:
The Political Bureau of the Amal Movement, having reviewed the contents of the agreement signed yesterday between the Israeli enemy and Lebanon, and whilst reaffirming the Movement’s stance rejecting direct negotiations with the enemy and its adherence to international resolutions, considers that this agreement is unbalanced and, in most of its provisions, enshrines facts on the ground that serve the enemy’s interests at the expense of the national interest. It entails political and sovereign risks and cannot be accepted, as it does not constitute the basis for a just agreement that safeguards Lebanon’s rights, protects its sovereignty and its foundations.
The Movement reaffirms the following principles:
- Firstly, the enemy must be compelled to withdraw fully and completely from all Lebanese territory it has occupied, up to the internationally recognised borders.
- The Lebanese Army must be deployed and exercise its full authority and role, thereby strengthening the authority and legitimacy of the state.
- The return of residents to all their villages and towns, and the commencement of a reconstruction plan to secure the infrastructure.
- The continuation of indirect negotiations to resolve outstanding issues and consolidate the recognised international borders, the return of prisoners, and the adoption of the mechanism set out in the November 2024 agreement.
- The Amal Movement considers that any agreement which does not stem from these principles and does not guarantee their full realisation remains an unacceptable agreement and will not achieve sovereignty, security or stability.
The statement concluded:
The Movement calls on all Lebanese to exercise the highest degree of vigilance and national unity, and not to be drawn into the enemy’s schemes to sow internal discord, for the unity of the Lebanese people remains an impenetrable bulwark against any threats to the nation.

🇮🇷 Iran's Assembly of Experts has released a significant statement obliging the negotiations team to fully adhere to the Supreme Leader Sayed Mojtaba Khamenei's word.
The statement reads as follows:
@SimurghRes
The statement reads as follows:
1. We urge that, considering the experiences of past damaging negotiations, the negotiators will be extremely careful of the tricks of the deceitful and evil enemy and pay attention to the fact that observing the Leader’s red lines is a religious obligation and violating them is not permissible under any circumstances.
2. We emphasize the need to pursue revenge for the martyrdom of our dear Leader, and that Trump and Netanyahu must face justice by any means necessary.
3. Any breach of the MoU must be responded to immediately. Therefore, considering the continuation of ceasefire breaches by the Zionist regime in Lebanon, and the failure to withdraw from the occupied territories, the opening of the Strait of Hormuz is contrary to the obligations of the officials and is considered a major strategic mistake, and will only embolden the enemy to continue its breach of the agreement.
4. We remind you again that according to the obligatory guidance of the Supreme Leader, the country's nuclear rights should not be discussed nor disputed, and should be completely excluded from the negotiations.
5. Establishing management over the Strait of Hormuz, receiving compensation for war damages, the release of frozen assets, lifting all sanctions, and the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the region are inviolable demands of the Supreme Leader and the people, and they must be pursued. Any negligence in this regard will be met with a fierce reaction of the nation.
6. Officials should avoid any statements that cause the enemy to become more arrogant and makes the country appear weak and helpless. Especially since the resistance of our self-sacrificing warriors has driven the arrogant America to despair, no statements should be made that suggests the country’s weakness or helplessness.
7. Everyone, especially the esteemed government officials, knows that in the system of Wilayat Al-Faqih (Guardianship of the Jurist), the opinion and perspective of the Leader is the final word, and when informed of his definitive opinion, no official can or should act contrary to his opinion.
8. Based on all evidence, the enemy is merely seeking an opportunity to deploy additional forces and buy time for some matters, including the upcoming Midterm elections. After that, there will be a high probability of a new attack, and the issues raised in the MoU should be resolved within the stipulated 30-day and 60-day deadlines.
9. We ask the dear nation to continue their steadfast presence on the streets, and while preserving sacred unity and avoiding any action that disrupts this unity, they should not pay attention to the divisive words of some ignorant people who seek to limit this divine mission. The presence of the people is essential and decisive as long as the Supreme Leader deems it necessary.
10. The Asssembly of Experts, as humble servants and part of the people, will remain with the esteemed Leadership and the entire nation, while wishing success to the respected government officials, awaiting the fulfillment of the conditions and promises, and will fulfill their religious duty when necessary.

🇮🇷The Shot Of Iran's Assembly of Experts Across The Bow Of The Pezeshkian Autocracy.
The Pezeshkian-Ghalibaf-Araghchi-Zarif conspiracy to transmute the Islamic Republic into a US vassal state, is looking more beleagured than ever after what can only be a full broadside from the Islamic Republic's "big guns" has struck them square at midship.
The exceptionally direct rebuttal has served to nullify the Pezeshkian populist claims.
The statement from the assembly practically charges that the current government isn't engaging in the disastrous negotiations with the US for Iranians' sake as Ghalibaf and gang insist, without going further purely as warning of imminent action.
With Lebanon teetering on the edge of disaster, civil war and another Zionist occupation, a US puppet (for want of a better term) installed in Iraq and Washington making challenging noises about the control of the Strait of Hormuz, it is difficult to imagine a less impotent Iranian government in the history of the Islamic Republic.
But now, the Pezeshkian motley crew have received their first true taste of the sheer power that can be brought to bear on them.
It's true that the Assembly of Experts has no legislative power, but that is exactly why it wields so much power.
Let's hope it will not be too late for the Axis of Resistance.
