Jafar Panahi Urges Swift Conclusion Of Israel-Iran Violence: "Both Regimes Should Be Condemned"

"This government has neither the power, will, nor legitimacy required to run the country or manage crises," the post continued. "Staying in this regime means the continued fall, the continuation of the repression, and the continuation of the flock! The only way to escape is the immediate dissolution of this system and initiate a people’s responsive and democratic government."

"Missile attacks, bombardment of residential areas, and targeted killing of civilians are crimes. Morals, politics, and safety are none of the excuses for these crimes. Continuing this cycle of blood and hate will only bring more instability in the world and an expansion of disaster," he wrote. 


Panahi added that "Both regimes should be blatantly condemned for their persistence of violence, warfare, and absolute indifference to human dignity."

Mehdi Taremi to be sold for Rasmus Hojlund

The transfer window could be about to come full circle for Manchester United since the striker they didn’t go for in place of Rasmus Hojlund, Mehdi Taremi, is now expendable.

Taremi was a serial goalscorer for FC Porto which is when United were linked to him but a move was never made.

They instead took the long-term view and invested heavily in Hojlund, a player who could be set to replace Taremi at Inter now.

Sky Italia reports that Inter are ready to sell Taremi as new Inter manager Cristian Chivu has made Hojlund his top target up top.

Israel-Iran attacks: Mehdi Taremi unable to join Inter for Club World Cup

The forward, set to link up with Inter Milan in LA, is stranded in Iran after his home country’s airspace was shut down.

Inter Milan’s Iranian forward Mehdi Taremi could miss the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 in the United States after being unable to leave his home country to join his team amid Iran’s airspace closure due to its ongoing exchange of aerial fire with Israel.

Taremi, who was named in Inter’s squad for the 32-team tournament, was expected to link up with his team in Los Angeles as they gear up for the tournament, but media reports in Italy and the US said on Saturday that the striker is likely to miss the first match on Tuesday and perhaps the entire competition.

“The Iranian striker will not join the Nerazzurri, neither for the first match nor for the others,” Italian sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport reported on Saturday.

“Inter have been in close contact with the Iranian authorities in Italy over the last 24 hours to comfort the player and try [to find] a solution that is currently impossible. The player is in Tehran in a safe place and sheltered from the bombings,” the report added.

The Italian side open their campaign against the Mexican side, Monterrey FC, at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, Los Angeles, on Tuesday, but Taremi is unlikely to be part of the squad.

The 32-year-old captains Iran and was among the goal scorers as they beat North Korea in their AFC World Cup qualifying match at the Azadi Stadium in Tehran on June 10. A day later, he won the inaugural Iranian Toopa Award (Golden Ball).

While it is unclear when the forward was scheduled to fly out of Tehran, his departure for the US was put on hold when Israel began its attacks on Iran on Friday morning, leading to the indefinite closure of its airspace.

Iran responded to the attacks later on the same day, and both countries have been involved in an exchange of fire ever since.

Taremi, who joined Inter Milan on a three-year contract in July 2024, has scored three goals in 43 appearances for the Nerazzurri.

Milan and their opening-game opponents Monterrey are placed in Group E for the Club World Cup alongside Argentinian club River Plate and Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds.
