Amini, a Kurdish Iranian woman, was arrested for allegedly breaking Iran's strict rules on wearing the hijab, the Islamic head covering for women.

"The U. Soccer Federation, in a comment to CNN, said it changed the flag for 24 hours to show "support for the women in Iran fighting for basic human rights, " but added that it always intended on changing it back. In an Instagram post from the U. Soccer men's national team on Sunday promoting the Iran-U. match, the official Iranian flag was featured along with the designation "IR Iran, " which stands for Islamic Republic.
"By posting a distorted image of the flag of the Islamic Republic of #Iran on its official account, the #US football team breached the FIFAcom charter, for which a 10-game suspension is the appropriate penalty. Team should be kicked out of the #WorldCup2022, " Tasnim News Agency wrote in a post on its official Twitter account. In a follow-up tweet, it added: "The legal advisor of the Iranian Football Federation says the sports association will file a complaint against the US Soccer Team to FIFA's Ethics Committee after the US Men's National Soccer Team disrespected the national flag of Islamic Republic of Iran.
In its decision on the merits of the case, at a time when the situation complained of still persisted, the Court, in its Judgment of 24 May 1980, found that Iran had violated and was still violating obligations owed by it to the United States under conventions in force between the two countries and rules of general international law, that the violation of these obligations engaged its responsibility, and that the Iranian Government was bound to secure the immediate release of the hostages, to restore the Embassy premises, and to make reparation for the injury caused to the United States Government. The Court reaffirmed the cardinal importance of the principles of international law governing diplomatic and consular relations. It pointed out that while, during the events of 4 November 1979, the conduct of militants could not be directly attributed to the Iranian State — for lack of sufficient information — that State had however done nothing to prevent the attack, stop it before it reached its completion or oblige the militants to withdraw from the premises and release the hostages.
The Court noted that, after 4 November 1979, certain organs of the Iranian State had endorsed the acts complained of and decided to perpetuate them, so that those acts were transformed into acts of the Iranian State. The Court gave judgment, notwithstanding the absence of the Iranian Government and after rejecting the reasons put forward by Iran in two communications addressed to the Court in support of its assertion that the Court could not and should not entertain the case. The Court was not called upon to deliver a further judgment on the reparation for the injury caused to the United States Government since, by Order of 12 May 1981, the case was removed from the List following discontinuance.
U. -based Iranian activist Elica Le Bon commented on the U. team's move in an Instagram post, saying, "The U. took a huge stand here by removing the emblem from the fraudulent Islamic Republic's flag that has become for Iranians a symbol of torture, suffering, and oppression. This is NOT our flag. Thank you thank you thank you. "A protester holds a portrait of Mahsa Amini during a demonstration in support of Amini, a young Iranian woman who died after being arrested in Tehran by the Islamic Republic's morality police, on Istiklal avenue in Istanbul on September 20, 2022. Ozan Kose | AFP | Getty ImagesSoraya Beheshti, an Iranian national living in Dubai, told CNBC: "I think this is ultimately not productive in its impact on the regime, but it's nevertheless symbolically important and appreciated by millions of Iranians. ""It's a nice way to show solidarity with the protesters in an appropriate way without disrespecting the players, who clearly support the revolution too but are stuck between a rock and a hard place, " she said.
