It’s amazing how much the Iranian regime has in common with the current US regime and MAGA.
Both want to destroy US and it’s global influence. Trump has done that faster than any psyops or military force ever could, if you exclude nuclear Armageddon.
I don’t think the GOP can ever get over it’s hate if Muslims, but if they do, I’m pretty sure they would perfectly align with Iran.
They have a lot of common enemies, that is, minorities to fight.
Are we forgetting how they violently break up mass protests against their far right radical theocracy? The Iranian regime is just a different flavor of fascism.
Yes? That’s what they said?
Among a list of demands made by the Football Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran is that only officially recognized national flags should be displayed during the team’s games, extending to those flags carried by fans in the stands.
If enforced, that would prevent the visibility of Pride rainbow flags
The sensationalist headline vs. what the article actually says are two very different things.
it’s likely that there are other reasons Iran don’t want flags. It’s all politics. https://iranwire.com/en/features/152112-iran-wants-opposition-flags-banned-at-the-2026-world-cup-but-america-isnt-qatar/
Yeah Israel PR team trying so hard to win over liberals by saying Iran is anti lgbtq.
Listen.
I don’t care if they are or aren’t in regards to the genocide.
Rather their government or religion is anti lgbtq or not doesn’t give another country the right to do a genocide on them.
Israel is trying so hard to win over the lgbtq and their allies by repeatedly saying Iran is anti gay.
Yeah so is Israel.
So is the U.S.
It’s all just what-aboutism.
There is no excuse for what Israel is doing to Gaza or Iran.
None.
There is nothing they can say about Iran or Palestinians or Muslims that will excuse their actions.Also Israel is killing more queer people than Iran is. Queer Palestinians exist and are dying in a genocide with the rest of the their people. Queer Lebanese people exist and are having their homes and lives destroyed too. When you kill indiscriminately you are killing queer people in the process, as well as numerous other demographics.
Clickbait title with the article jumping to conclusion
Among a list of demands made by the Football Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran is that only officially recognized national flags should be displayed during the team’s games, extending to those flags carried by fans in the stands.
If you click on another article about the “Pride Match”, it talks about how poorly ticket sales are - seems that FIFA (and sports news outlets reliant on FIFA) want to drum up ‘hubbub’.
World Cup Pride Match tickets still available as final sales phase opens
There were plenty of tickets available for the World Cup‘s first-ever designated Pride Match when FIFA’s “last-minute sales phase” began Wednesday.
Sounds baity af, they demanded that “only officially recognized national flags should be displayed during the team’s games”, not saying I agree or not, but that’s a different thing.
Might be more to do with the royalist Iranian flags then.
This is almost certainly about the Shah flag, this is an interesting spin on that

I think this is fairly savvy shit-stirring by the Iranians. Demand something that Trump’s base is ideologically aligned with and force Trump to either cave to the Iranians or side with The Gays™.
you know at first I did not get what you are saying but yeah since its in the us if he says he does not want him it looks like he is doing what they say. All the same a dangerous game to mess with the groups that are more likely to be supportive of you.
You can stay home if seeing a few colorful flags and happy people are that triggering for you.
Edit: And demanding that annual pride celebrations be hidden would be just asking for a riot, which I’m sure Seattle leaders know full well.
The internet must be really hard these days when you can’t find the “continue without disabling” button.
I don’t care enough to click through a bunch of bullshit to read the story.
Just in case someone developed any sympathy towards them…
that’s an idiotic take.
You can be against US interventionism and endless warcrimes. without becoming a fan for the current Iranian regime.
It isn’t sports.
What is an idiotic take?
Telling people they shouldn’t be sympathetic to Iran.
First, Iran as a country has more parts than just it’s government. Iranian people are friendly and welcoming. Second, Iran never said anything about Pride flags. They said “only officially recognized national flags should be displayed during the team’s games, extending to those flags carried by fans in the stands.”
Never said that people “shouldn’t be sympathetic to Iran”.
Second… Good one.
implying that you have to pick a side and unconditionally support it.
Iran doesn’t have to be a beacon of a perfect society in order for it to be wrong to bomb its civilians.
Never implied that.
That’s what I interpreted from your comment,
Nope
Let them demand what they want…
