 Morocco places provinces on highest alert as wildfire spreads Morocco has placed nine provinces at the highest wildfire alert level as blazes continued to intensify over the past week, with satellite data showing that more than 4,100 hectares (10,131 acres) have burned since the start of the year. Data from the European Commission-backed Global Wildfire Information System (GWIS) showed that about 855 hectares (2,112 acres) burned over the past week, marking an increase from the previous week, Anadolu Agency reported. The system also detected 1,006 thermal anomalies across Morocco between Jan. 1 and Aug. 2, including 59 over the past week. Thermal anomalies are satellite-detected hotspots and do not necessarily represent separate wildfires, as the same fire may be detected more than once. On Friday, Morocco’s National Agency for Water and Forests issued red-level wildfire warnings for nine provinces in the country’s north and east, indicating an extreme risk of forest fires.

IRAN’S WORLD CUP SOCCER TEAM GRANTED U.S VISAS AHEAD OF TOURNAMENT, OFFICIAL CONFIRMS. (PHOTO).


 Iran’s World Cup soccer team granted U.S visas ahead of tournament, official confirms

Iran’s national soccer team has been issued visas allowing players to enter the United States and compete in the upcoming World Cup, a U.S. official confirmed.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said during congressional testimony earlier this week that the administration had “no problem” approving visas for Iran’s team. However, he stressed that U.S. authorities would closely monitor entries to prevent individuals linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from joining the delegation under non-sporting roles.

Rubio said the government would not permit “people that we know have nothing to do with athletics” or those with ties to the IRGC to be embedded with the team, adding that screening would be closely enforced.

U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack later praised embassy staff in Ankara for processing the visas, writing on social media that he was proud of their work supporting Iran’s national team’s participation in the tournament in the United States. He also said “sports transcends borders” and expressed anticipation for welcoming international teams and fans.

The Iranian squad is expected to play matches in the United States but may be based in Mexico during the tournament due to complications linked to U.S. sanctions.

Earlier this year, Iran’s sports minister suggested the country might withdraw from the global competition amid heightened regional tensions, though that position later shifted after a ceasefire took effect in April.

Officials from Iran’s Football Federation confirmed the national team’s qualification and participation rights, and FIFA leadership later affirmed that Iran would compete in the tournament, including games hosted in the United States.
