I have a visually strong segment that hits your core wheelhouse: Iran, Hezbollah, and civilians targeted by terror—told through the story of twelve Druze kids killed on a soccer field and the mural that refuses to let it be forgotten.
In July 2024, a rocket slammed into a Druze village soccer field in Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights, killing twelve children and teenagers during practice—an attack Israel and rights groups blamed on Hezbollah, Iran’s proxy in Lebanon. The kids were in uniforms, cleats on, playing soccer.
Why this works for Fox:
- Puts Iran and Hezbollah’s brutality into one unforgettable image: twelve Druze kids killed in July 2024 while playing soccer.
- Ties naturally into 2026 World Cup coverage with a pointed question: Which kids get to grow up and play the game, and which are targeted by terror?
- Features an Iranian‑American voice who openly calls out the regime, stands with Israel and Druze communities, and uses public art to keep pressure on Tehran.
Guest: Hooman is English‑speaking, blunt about the regime and Hezbollah, and very soundbite‑friendly.
He can speak to:
- What happened in July 2024 in Majdal Shams, and why he chose a soccer lineup to tell the story.
- How Iran and its proxies target children and civilians.
- Why he’s painting these murals in the U.S. and Israel as a form of visual accountability.
I can provide:
- High‑resolution stills of the mural, including the Druze‑kids panel and the full soccer‑field image.
- A concise one‑page backgrounder on the July 2024 Majdal Shams attack and the Druze community.
- Flexible availability for a live or pre‑taped hit
Would this be a fit for an upcoming block on Iran/Hezbollah, children in conflict, or as a World Cup‑adjacent segment highlighting “the kids who never got to play the beautiful game”?
