From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Fresh from losing the World Cup 2026 bid, a disappointed Morocco will be in action against Iran in the first game of Group B in St Petersburg.

Both Morocco and Iran will be desperate to secure victory to get any chance of reaching the round of 16 given that the last two European champions are in their group in Portugal and Spain.

Morocco No 9 Ayoub el Kaabi is a man to look out for as they vie for the first three points in the group.

94 mins: GOAL! Morocco 0-1 Iran

WOW! It's another late, late winner with a huge slice of fortune for Iran. It's an own goal from Bouhaddouz who heads in from a free kick

FULL TIME: Morocco 0-1 Iran

A 95th minute own goal from Morocco hands Iran a victory, which at times seemed impossible as they struggled with the Moroccan power and pace early on.

Incredible scenes.
