Iran caught red-handed breaking ceasefire, former US envoy says

Several viewers said joy was impossible after what the country had endured. “I am not happy that the internet has been restored, because 40,000 other people will never come online again,” one viewer wrote, referring to the victims of Iran’s crackdown on thousands of protesters in January.

When the Philadelphia Union set up shop in 2010, one of the explicit goals was to tap into the wealth of talent in the greater Philadelphia area. That was the appeal for Richie Graham, who joined the Union’s ownership group with deep pockets, a background in elite ski racing and a vision for developing resources that would in turn develop talent. Two decades on, the senior team is mired in a mess of its own making. But the proof of concept was on the stage Tuesday afternoon in New York with the unveiling of the U.S. men’s roster for the
