Dummkopf Trumpf whining about Iran's football team on Truth Social:

"I really don't believe it is appropriate that they be there, for their own life and safety."

Good-for-nothing FIFA President Gianni Infantino blathered that Trumpf had reaffirmed that Iran is welcome, adding that the World Cup was needed "now more than ever" to bring people together. "Football unites the world," Infantino risibly said.

Iran's Sports Minister Ahmad Donyamali had already said the country would not take part, citing the killing of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the illegal US-Israeli joint attacks on Iran that began on 28 Feb. "Under no circumstances do we have the appropriate conditions to participate in the World Cup," he said.

Young athletes were killed in separate US-Israel barbaric attacks on Iranian civilian targets and infrastructure.

Iran had qualified for the tournament, which gets underway on 11 June across the US, Canada, and Mexico. The team was scheduled to face New Zealand and Belgium in Los Angeles on 15 and 21 June respectively, and Egypt in Seattle on 26 June.

The US and Israel have killed around 1,300 people to date, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and created an environmental inferno in Tehran, another war crime.

FIFA is thoroughly, corrupt, vile, and decrepit
