In the match held Thursday evening at the Azadi Stadium in Tehran, Ghoochannejhad, who came off the bench, was on target in the 94th minute and six minutes later Jahanbakhsh extended the lead. Iran controlled much of the opening proceedings, but it was the Qataris who fashioned out the better of the goal scoring opportunities in the first 20 minutes. Qatari Sebastian Soria’s attempt from the tightest of angles did little to trouble Alireza Beiranvand in the goal, who was also equal to Hassan Al Haydos’ effort soon after. Iranians slowly tued their dominance of possession into attempts on goal and Ashkan Dejagah should have done better with his effort from outside the area rather than dragging his low shot well wide of the target. The game tued increasingly disjointed during the second half, with Iranian defender Jalal Hosseini going close to opening the scoring 17 minutes from time when he met Andranik Teymourian’s coer with a header that went just wide of Lacomte’s goal.,iran vs qatar world cup qualifiers ...ادامه مطلب

"It's (Saudi Arabia's) position that rejects the candidacy of [Change and Reform bloc leader MP] Michel Aoun, and worsened the inteal crisis that we're today experiencing through the Cabinet," Qaouk said during a memorial for a Hezbollah fighter in the Lebanese town of Tayr Filsey in the southe district of Tyre (Sour). He attributed the absence of a president in Lebanon to Saudi Arabia's rejection of Aoun, a position which he said has negatively impacted all state institutions. "As long as the Future Movement is walking behind the Saudi veto, Lebanon will not be stable," Qaouk added, the Daily Star reported. He noted that no faction can be excluded. "Hezbollah advised the Future Movement to salvage the country and change their negative position against Aoun," he continued. Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah signaled in his Aug. 14 speech that Hezbollah is ready to accept Future leader Sa’ad Hariri as Lebanon’s next prime minister if the Future bloc supports Ao, ...ادامه مطلب

Speaking in an exclusive interview with al-Manar late on Friday, Nasrallah said he is “confident” that Hezbollah “would emerge victorious from any new war with Israel.” “After the (2006) war, I visited the Bekaa Valley and southe Lebanon. They (Israelis) say their achievement is that they forced me to hide in a bunker. That’s not true; I’ve met with many people away from the spotlight. I live and get around in a natural way. I do not live in a bunker,” the Hezbollah chief said, Press TV reported. He said the missiles that Hezbollah fired against Israel during the 2006 war came from the Syrian military industry, and they were not manufactured in Iran. “The war was aimed at eliminating the resistance in Lebanon, Syria and Palestine, and eventually isolating Iran.

“The people of Yemen continue to bear the brunt of the suffering as a result of the inability of the parties to find a political solution to a conflict that has been raging for more than a year and a half. The retu to full-scale hostilities only drives humanitarian needs further,” said Jamie McGoldrick, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen, in a statement, adding: “A political solution is the only solution to this crisis.” According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), local media has reported that ground fighting and air strikes have killed and maimed children and women, and destroyed homes and markets, particularly in the capital, Sana’a, and its goveorates, Sa’ada, Taizz, and Al Hudaydah.

The effort to plant the seeds of white nationalism in the political mainstream, where they might blossom into pro-white political coalitions that appeal to a broader swath of white voters, will not be easy, according to the chairman of the American Nazi Party. But Rocky Suhayda thinks there is one political figure who presents a “real opportunity” to lessen the load. Who is it? Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president. “Now, if Trump does win, okay, it’s going to be a real opportunity for people like white nationalists, acting intelligently to build upon that, and to go and start — you know how you have the black political caucus and what not in Congress and everything — to start building on something like that,” Mr Suhayda declared on his radio program last month, the Independent reported on Monday. “It doesn’t have to be anti-, like the movement’s been for decades, so much as it has to be pro-white,” he added. “You know what I’m saying? It’s kind of hard to go and call us bigots if we don’t go around and act like a bigot. That’s what the movement should contemplate. All right.” Audio from the radio program was posted by BuzzFeed’s Andrew Kaczynski, who noted that Suhayda has in the past avoided making statements about Mr. Trump out of conce that he might harm the businessman’s candidacy. Yet, Mr. Kaczynski reported, in an American Nazi Party report from September, the chairman argued that Mr. Trump’s rhetoric revealed the secret popularity of the party’s messages. “We have a wonderful OPPORTUNITY here folks, that may never come again, at the RIGHT time,” Mr. Suhayda wrote, according to BuzzFeed. “Donald Trump’s campaign statements, if nothing else, have SHOWN that ‘our views’ are NOT so ‘unpopular’ as the Political Correctness crowd have told everyone they are!”Mr. Suhayda is far from the first avowed white supremacist to publicize his support and enthusiasm for Trump.

The Indian consulate in Jeddah said it distributed 15,475 kilograms (34,100 pounds) of food including eggs, spices and salt over the weekend. It said it was trying to reach all affected Indians "to help them overcome this crisis." Sushma Swaraj, India's Minister of Exteal Affairs, said that a large number Indians in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait had lost their jobs, and were owed wages by their employers. Many are now stuck in camps for migrant workers. "I assure you that no Indian worker rendered unemployed in Saudi Arabia will go without food," Swaraj said on Twitter. She said more than 10,000 Indians in the country were facing a "food crisis" and dispatched one of her deputies to the country. There are roughly 3 million Indians employed in Saudi Arabia, which depends on foreign workers to fill jobs in its services, manufacturing and construction sectors. Low oil prices have slashed economic growth and forced the Saudi govement to cut spending. In April, the govement announced an ambitious plan to break its dependence on oil but that won't happen for years. India's representative in Jeddah, Muhammad Noor Rahman Sheikh, said 2,500 of the affected workers had been employed by Saudi Oger Company, a construction firm. Their situation had become dire in recent days, he said. Workers at one of the camps told CNNMoney that their bosses at Oger stopped showing up to work about seven months ago, and they had heard nothing from the company since. They cannot leave Saudi Arabia because the company holds their passports. Conditions at the camp are bleak: Trash collection has stopped, and there's no electricity. The workers get water from the mosque across the street. Police are stationed outside after protests erupted in recent weeks. A source familiar with the circumstances said some of the abandoned construction projects were Saudi govement contracts. Oger representatives were not immediately available for comment. Saudi govement officials contacted by CNNMoney said they would lo, ...ادامه مطلب
