The video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, shows a large crowd of Iranian fans standing in the stands and pointing down at the pitch – shouting “push the Palestinian flag in your a*** , in your a***” .

One person wrote: ‘It takes such bravery to chant something like that in Iran! So proud of them and their bravery!’
Another person said: ‘Amazing. LIKE IT!’

It comes as senior members of the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah claimed that Hamas’s surprise attack on Israel had been given the green light by Iranian security officials.
Hamas planned the air, land and sea invasions with the help of officers from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to a Wall Street Journal report. Israel has since labeled Iran a ‘terrorist state’.

The official approval for the attack was reportedly given during a Monday meeting in Beirut.
Four other Iranian-backed military groups were reportedly at the meeting, including members of Hamas and Hezbollah.
Foreign Secretary Antony Blinken claims he has ‘not yet seen evidence’ that Iran was involved in the attack.
“We currently have no information to substantiate this account,” a US official said.
A senior Hamas official said in a statement that they acted alone. “This is a Palestinian and Hamas decision,” he said.
However, a European official and adviser to Syria gave the same account as others that it was planned together.
The sources cited claim that members of each group have been meeting bi-weekly with a branch of the IRGC since at least August to plan the attack.
