*EDIT* Iraq has disputed this claim

The United States State Department is actively denying #VISAs for international #soccer players on teams that have qualified for the #WorldCup.

5 #Iraqi players were denied visas, with Ali Al-Hamadi specifically identified.

At this stage it's unknown if the Iraqi team would face the #USMNT, but in my mind, the U.S. is attempting to fix the tournament in favor of the U.S.

Trump can't keep his dirty hands off anything.

#Iraqi 🇮🇶 security media has denied reports of an airdrop and the existence of a base in the Nukhayb desert, contradicting a previous statement. [نايا - NAYA]

Iraqi court sentences 4 to prison for promoting banned Baath Party

BAGHDAD: An Iraqi court on Monday sentenced four people to six years in prison on charges of promoting the ideas of the banned Baath Party led by former leader Saddam Hussein. The Karkh Criminal Court said in a statement that those convicted were found in possession of the banned materials on their cellphones in Kirkuk province during 2025 and 2026. After the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq toppled Saddam’s autocratic rule, the country implemented a broad de-Baathification policy aimed at removing the influence of the Baath Party from state institutions.
