⚡Iranian footballer who has returned to her home nation claims Australian police were pressuring players to stay.

She says:

"When they checked our passports, each of us went into a room with a police officer. At first, when they took my hand and led me away, I was a bit scared, but I told myself it’s okay.

Then we sat down; we went through a few doors, entered a room, and I sat. The security agent called someone on a phone, and I realized they wanted to ask us again: 'If you go back, it’s like this [dangerous]... your country is at war, etc.

They were asking a bunch of very strange questions, hoping I might say, 'No, I don't know. I am not sure of returning.’

They kept asking those same kinds of questions. He then asked me ‘Do you want to call your family? You can contact them right now to decide if you want to stay or not.' As soon as he said that, I told the lady (the translator), 'Tell him I don’t want to stay.

Anyone who wanted to stay has already stayed.' I didn’t even let him finish reading the rest of his questions; I just said: ‘I want to return to Iran.'

Right then, I got a bad feeling in my heart; I was a bit scared because I really wanted to go back to Iran—I wanted to go to my family, my homeland.”

⚡Switzerland is threatening to cancel its deal for MIM-104 Patriot air defense systems due to delivery delays from the United States. The Swiss administration has also halted all payments to the U.S. regarding the agreement.

The Swiss government will continue to withhold payments to the ‌United States for a Patriot missile system order until Washington provides binding delivery dates, adding that terminating the purchase is an option, it said on Wednesday.

The delivery schedule remains uncertain, as do payment milestones, ⁠the government said in a statement.

Defence Minister Martin Pfister said the government still expected to acquire the system, but was ruling nothing out.

"We are currently negotiating all possible options with the United States, and that includes a potential termination," he told reporters at a news conference, noting it ‌was ⁠not clear what the conditions for any cancellation would be.

⚡The IRGC is now charging tolls, with rates starting at $1 per barrel of oil, on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, paid in Chinese Yuan or stablecoins, per Bloomberg.

The process includes:

1. To pass, ship operators must first contact an intermediary company linked to the IRGC

2. They then provide their vessel’s ownership, flag, the cargo manifest, destination, crew list, and transponder information

3. The intermediary then passes the file onto the IRGC Navy’s Hormozgan Provincial Command for background checks to ensure no link to the US or Israel

4. Iran has a ranking system of 1 to 5 for nations, with ships from countries that are seen as friendly more likely to get better terms

Once the toll is paid, the IRGC issues a permit code and route instructions for the ship to pass.

Alot of them are not knowledgeable.

Boko haram that started even before Yaradua's era is what they're claiming Buhari sponsored.

It's almost as old as when democracy returned to Nigeria

⚡Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf:

Right now, in less than a week, a powerful national campaign sweeping across the country has brought forward around 7 million Iranians who have already stepped up and declared they’re ready to pick up arms and stand in defense of our nation.

Let me tell you somethin’ straight from the gut: Iranians don’t just talk about defending their country, we bleed for it.

We’ve done it before, and we’re ready to do it again.

Good luck Yankees fighting an ancient civilization whose descendants sees death as an honor of service to the land unlike some overfed soldiers who, when things gets tough, switches to remote soldiering, if they're not sabotaging their own vessels to avoid the fronts.
