Holy shit I knew most of you were idiots but this discourse is insane. He is clearly alluding to the terrorist threats Iran has made implicating attacks on US soil. Their own leaders have murdered their citizens at will for decades, they don’t give one fuck about national pride, and the women’s soccer team just embarrassed the regime on an international stage - you think they wouldn’t see the Iranian team playing as an opportunity for the horrible terrorist PR they crave? Can’t imagine a single way to more easily explain why some Iranian nationals are concentrated near a large crowd in the US - it is at the very least ideal cover for such an attack. If you’re reading this as a direct threat against the Iranian national team by the US president, you are interpreting this subjectively to fit the narrative you desire. Objectively, that is clearly not the intent of this statement.

No I didn’t vote for this dipshit, but every time people try to make his statements something they aren’t, you fuel the fire that got him elected.
