Our Reading
The threat arrives with confidence.
President Trump’s warning to Iran’s soccer team is a thinly-veiled threat. He says they’re welcome, but might die. The World Cup is just a backdrop for geopolitics. Iran’s safety is a concern, but only when it’s convenient. The US is hosting the World Cup, but diplomacy is not on the menu.
War and soccer, a perfect match.
