Five Iranian Women's Soccer Players Flee Team Hotel in Fear After Defying Brutal Regime

RedState 

"The Iranian women's soccer team, consisting of five players, fled their hotel in fear of persecution after defying the brutal regime. The players, who were labeled "wartime traitors" by Iranian state TV, faced severe backlash and threats if they returned home. They sought asylum in Australia, where they were granted humanitarian visas and safe haven. The Australian government, led by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, welcomed the players and assured them of their safety. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of Iranian women's football players and the potential repercussions they may face if they return to Iran." . . .

attack Teheran."

"We are told 7 American servicemen died in Operation Epic Fury.

"Not true.

"Iran has killed 875 Anerican soldiers, Marines, airmen and sailors since the ayatollahs seized the government 47 years ago. Via Grok:

October 1983 Beirut barracks bombing: 241 killed (220 Marines + 21 other service members) by Iran-backed Hezbollah truck bomb.

September 1984 Beirut US Embassy annex bombing: 2 US service members killed by Iran-backed Hezbollah car bomb.

June 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia: 19 US airmen killed by Iran-backed Hezbollah Al-Hijaz truck bomb.

2003–2011 Iraq War: At least 603 US troops killed by Iran-backed militias (via training, EFPs/explosively formed penetrators, IEDs, and other support; roughly 1 in 6 US combat deaths in Iraq.

October 2023–November 2024: 3 US service members killed across more than 180 attacks by Iran-backed militias.

That’s 868 deaths at the hands of the mullahs. Add the 7 military personnel who died in Epic Fury and you have 875 American servicemen killed by Iranians.

"The death toll does not include William “Bill” Buckley, the CIA station chief in Beirut. The Iranian-backed Islamic Jihad Organization kidnapped him on May 16, 1984, and tortured him to death. Then they sent videos to President Reagan." . . .  More...
