## Resource

Iran’s World Cup team just got a major travel reprieve — now allowed to enter the U.S. two days before their Seattle match, giving them crucial extra time to recover from a grueling journey and adjust to the timezone. After their initial trip went smoothly, officials decided to ease restrictions, acknowledging the team’s earlier struggles with short prep windows, fatigue, and long transit delays. The move comes amid broader diplomatic tensions, including false claims about a Revolutionary Guard-linked individual attempting entry — denied by Iran’s federation. While Egypt and others may still be out of luck due to FIFA’s security and resource constraints, Iran’s squad now has a much-needed breathing room before facing their big game.
