In this week’s edition of Behind The Headlines, we will be discussing England opening game of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar against Iran on Monday 21st November. As several high-profile Iranian footballers and sports personalities have called for the Iranian regime to be kicked out of this year’s world cup. The sports stars state that the regime has reached a tipping point as the death of 22-year Masha Amini in police custody for not wear her hijab properly has sparked nationwide protests. The regime has responded by murdering 200 hundred protestors including 23 children.
The Iranian regime is also responsible for death of several Ukrainian civilian by supplying Putin with deadly military drones in his war against Kiev. A sinister axis is developing between Russia and the Islamic Republic of Iran that is making the world an even more dangerous place.
Now the world leaders have an opportunity to send a powerful message to the Iranian regime by standing in solidarity with the brave and courageous women in Iran protesting for their freedom. Making a stand against the deadly military drones being supplied to Putin that are being used to kill innocent civilians in a European capital, now is the time that FIFA kicked Iran out of next month’s World Cup in Qatar.
