 Mexico agrees to host Iran’s World Cup team after U.S. declines to accommodate squad, Sheinbaum says    Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday that Mexico has agreed to host the Iranian national football team during the upcoming World Cup after the United States declined to accommodate the squad. Sheinbaum said the decision followed a request from FIFA, which sought an alternative arrangement after U.S. officials indicated they did not want Iran’s team staying in the country for the duration of the tournament, even though Iran is scheduled to play all of its group-stage matches on U.S. soil. “We have no reason to deny them the possibility of staying in Mexico,” Sheinbaum said during her daily press conference, adding that Mexico accepted the request in coordination with tournament organizers.

 Monster truck crashes into crowd at Colombia show, killing at least 3 and injuring dozens

At least three people were killed, and more than 38 others were injured when a monster truck lost control during a show in Popayán, a city in southwestern Colombia, and crashed into spectators after breaking through safety barriers, authorities said.

Video and eyewitness accounts show the vehicle veering off the course during a maneuver, striking metal barriers before entering the audience area. Local officials said the crash caused chaos as emergency crews rushed to the scene, and injured attendees were transported to nearby hospitals.

Popayán Mayor Juan Carlos Muñoz confirmed the preliminary toll, saying more than 38 people were injured and at least three were killed. Local reports indicated that one of the victims was a minor, and several of the injured were children.

Police said the incident may have been triggered by a mechanical failure. A senior officer described the truck as accelerating uncontrollably after leaving the track during a private event. The driver, identified in local media as Sonia Dilma Segura, was also injured but was reported to be in stable condition. She is known for operating high-powered stunt vehicles in the region.

Regional officials expressed condolences to the victims’ families and confirmed that emergency services responded quickly. Authorities also said the event had proper permits, including insurance coverage, and was organized by a company experienced in motorsport exhibitions. Investigations into the exact cause of the crash are ongoing.
