Mojtaba cashes in $6,000,000,000 as Trump unlocks Qatar vault before final Iran nuclear deal?

Published by Parlour News

Published on Jun 20, 2026 01:33 am IST The proposed U.S.-Iran interim agreement could unlock billions of dollars in frozen Iranian funds, with reports suggesting Washington may release $6 billion held in Qatar as part of a broader incentives package. The funds, originally frozen in South Korea and transferred to Doha under a 2023 arrangement, would reportedly be released in phases during a 60-day ceasefire period. Iran would be allowed to use the money only for humanitarian and other non-sanctioned goods. The move has triggered political backlash in the U.S., while negotiations over Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile and a final nuclear agreement remain unresolved.   Home / Videos / Mojtaba cashes in $6,000,000,000 as Trump unlocks Qatar vault before final Iran nuclear deal?

Horror Ismael Kone injury sours Canada’s historic win

Horror Ismael Kone injury sours Canada’s historic win

Published by Webster

4 min readJun 19, 2026 02:03 PM IST An emphatic maiden win, 40 years after Canada’s World Cup debut, should have led to festivity across the host nation. Instead, concern and anxiety filled the air following a bone-snapping injury to Ismaël Koné in the second half. Qatar midfielder Assim Madibo’s reckless and late tackle from behind marred Les Rouges’ 6-0 victory in Vancouver on Friday. Madibo was sent off and he later apologised to Koné, but the damage was done: the 24-year-old had to be stretchered off and rushed to a local hospital, where he was preparing for surgery. Canadian players almost came to blows with Madibo and Co on the pitch meanwhile, reflecting their angst as Koné was cruelly ruled out of the remainder of the tournament. The scuffle resumed after the full-time whistle with coaches Jesse Marsch and Julen Lopetegui having a run-in. Hat-trick scoring striker Jonathan David plainly called out the tackle after the match. “If there’s a play where you cannot win the ball, there’s no point,” he said. “It’s just …

FIFA World Cup day 3 recap: Brazil held by Morocco; Qatar steal a point | Football News

3 min readJun 14, 2026 08:27 AM IST It took two moments of brilliance to seal the fate of the Brazil versus Morocco game. It was a 1-1 draw at the end. But an entertaining one. In the 21st minute of their FIFA World Cup opener on Saturday, Ismael Saibari scored from a delightful chip over the on-rushing Alisson Becker after being released on goal with the passes of the tournament so far: a through ball from Brahim Diaz which raced past two Brazil central defenders, and then slowed down just in time for Saibari to get to it before Alisson and lift it over the keeper’s body. But Morocco’s joy was short-lived. Vinicius Junior, playing on the left wing for Brazil, had some magic of his own to sprinkle on the game. Just 11 minutes after Morocco took the lead, Vinicius was released on the left flank by Bruno Guimares, got to the ball, cut it back, beat Morocco’s Neil al Aynaoui with a delightful slight of foot, and then smashed a curling effort …

The country had become the first country in FIFA World Cup history to play in a World Cup without qualifying for it and the second after Italy to qualify as hosts after being not part of the World Cups before. The Julen Lopetegui coached Qatar side will open their campaign in Group B as they face Switzerland at San Francisco Bay Arena on Saturday. Earlier in March, the team’s preparations were hampered by the US-Iran war, which also saw Iran bombing locations in Qatar. The attacks meant that the country’s friendlies against Serbia and reigning world champions Argentina were cancelled. Lopetegui has now spoken about how the attacks hampered his team’s preparations apart from his family asking him to return but he chose to stay back. “It was unpleasant, unlike …
