Iranians Celebrate Losing World Cup Game to the US
Some Iranians have celebrated their team’s loss to the US and subsequent exit from the World Cup, as demonstrations against the government’s treatment of protesters took place inside and outside the stadium in Qatar and across Iran.
The celebrations came after fans outside the stadium in Doha sought to highlight the protests and the Iranian government’s crackdown. “Everybody should know about this. We don’t have voice in Iran,” an Iranian living in the US, who gave his name only as Sam, told Reuters.
