As cars honked, fireworks lit the skies, and commuters danced in the streets of Tehran, Karaj, Zanjan, Tabriz, Kermanshah, Hamedan, Qom, Qazvin, Isfahan, Sanandaj, Saqqez, Mahabad, Marivan, Javanrud, Zahedan, Chahrmahal & Bakhtiari towns, the border town of Sarpol Zahab, and other cities, one Iranian asked another in astonishment, “Did Iran win?” and the answer came back that, “Iranian people won.”
Never mind that the official scoreboard showed USA 1 – IRAN 0. This was up for interpretation in a society where revolution is afoot, and protesters are chanting “Down with Khamenei” on every street corner in every city. The dominant and overwhelming sentiment of Iranian society was that they had won, and the regime had lost. As one protester said, “the Islamic Republic lost.”

Fox News Digital website reported that “In an encrypted telephone interview with Fox News Digital Monday, an Iranian woman who called herself ‘Mahoora’ and lives in southern Iran, said, ‘It’s not just some people in Iran, it is the majority of people in Iran…that want the U.S. to win (on Tuesday). The silent majority [of Iranians] did not celebrate the regime team’s victory over Wales.’”
Maryam Rajavi said in her official Twitter account on the people’s celebration of the results of the World Cup 2022 match: “Iranian people expressed their anger last night with unison chants of “Death to Khamenei” and “Death to Bassiji” at the regime’s corruption of national sport. If anyone in any position or career stands with the mullahs, people know them as anti-patriotic & anti-Iranian.”
