## Resource

The US-Israeli coalition bombed Iran's Azadi Stadium on March 5, destroying the indoor volleyball and wrestling complex which hosts international competitions. Max Blumenthal visits the ruined arena and places its destruction in the wider context of US-Israeli attacks on the country's knowledge base and the rigging of FIFA's World Cup against Iran's national team. ||| The Grayzone ||| Find more reporting at https://thegrayzone.com Support our original journalism at Patreon: https://patreon.com/grayzone Facebook: https://facebook.com/thegrayzone Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegrayzonenews Instagram: https://instagram.com/thegrayzonenews Minds: https://minds.com/thegrayzone Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@thegrayzone #TheGrayzone ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__FM0MgDqyc
