This comes as tensions between the US and Iran continue to escalate. Meanwhile, Iraq's football team is preparing to travel to Mexico for a World Cup play-off, despite calls to postpone the match due to the ongoing US-Israeli war with Iran. In other news, Zimbabwe's white farmers are awaiting compensation from the government, with some hoping that Trump may be able to help them in their battle.
