And Iran just got eliminated from the World Cup, adding to the regime’s humiliation.
The Dems are going to be outraged.
Not only that but compared to Iran, repressive Putinist Russia is "free" by comparison. Thousands of Iranian women watched the games live...
Without their hijabs...
Tasting freedom can be dangerous...
Also worth noting the Iran played in Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan in Russia. Tatars have a lot of connection with Persians via empire, history...World Cup could be a forshadowing of major cultural bridges built under much different gropolitical circumstances in the future. For Russi, post-Putin. For Iran, post-Ayatollah.
