Iranian soccer players have received violent threats against their family members for refusing to sing the national anthem at the Qatar World Cup

Families of the Iranian soccer team have received violent threats after players refused to sing the national anthem at the Qatar World Cup.

This cup has witnessed politics spill onto the global stage like never before.

The Iranian soccer team took a stand against the regime in their homeland. They stood silent in their first match against England.

The public display of dissent was broadcast for the world to see.

Now, the families of the players have been threatened with jail time and torture, if the players fail to “behave.”

According to a security source, the players were pulled into a meeting with the Iranian revolutionary guard corps.

Here, they were warned about the danger to their families.

The stark warning comes as Iran gets set to take on the USA on Tuesday.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump squared off in their first and possibly only debate, with both sides taking some big swings.

Harris wasted no time poking fun at Trump’s rallies, even daring viewers to see for themselves.

That dig clearly got under Trump’s skin.

At one point, Trump bizarrely claimed immigrants were eating pets in Ohio – a claim swiftly debunked by the moderators.

Harris hit Trump hard on his election fraud claims, reminding voters that 81 million Americans fired him in 2020.

Things heated up when the two accused each other of using the Justice Department for political attacks – calling each other threats to democracy. #featured #trending #hotshots
