I.R. Iran Embassy - Ghana

Tehran, right now.
For 45 years they chanted that the blood in their veins was a gift to their Leader. Today the streets of Tehran is bleeding red with flags. A nation is signaling its readiness to honor a lifetime's covenant.
The enemies of this people should be very afraid.

In 2016, President Mahama flew to Tehran. The martyed Imam Seyed Ali Khamenei received him at his residence.
He didn't talk about oil deals or trade memorandums. He talked about what was happening to Africa. He said the extremism isn't homegrown. it has sponsors, and those sponsors come from Western countries and the Zionist regime. He said the answer isn't more dependency on the same people. It's independent countries turning to each other.
That's what he thought about Africa. Not as a problem to manage. Not as a market. As a place full of dignified nations that deserve to stand on their own. Go read what he actually said about Africa in his other meetings with African leaders.
Iran buries its martyred Imam this week. But his words remain standing.

Thank you Team Melli of Iran. You played under circumstances that no other team could endure.
3 games, 0 defeats. 2 goals cruelly stolen by VAR.
We are proud of you.

Dearest Black Stars,
Every embassy in Accra is neutral tonight.
Except one.
There are other ways we could qualify tonight.
We could wait for Algeria. We could hope Congo slips.
But we'd rather owe it to you.
Beat Croatia. 🇬🇭

Ghana scored in the 95th minute against Panama and won.
Some countries call that "lucky."
In Accra, it's called "on time." It's also called "Ghanaian time"!
Congratulations to the Black Stars and to our dear Carlos Queiroz, who once taught Iran to believe in the last minute too.
Old habits, it seems, travel well.

The cheetah doesn't announce its move.
