Summary
Iran’s World Cup squad won’t train in the U.S. after all—Mexico stepped in as the new host, citing U.S. security concerns amid regional tensions. FIFA approved the move, with Iran’s federation confirming plans to train in Tijuana ahead of their matches against New Zealand, Belgium, and Egypt. Despite earlier U.S. reservations and presidential caveats about player safety, Iran remains committed to competing. Meanwhile, behind-the-scenes talks between the U.S. and Iran could lead to a ceasefire deal and Strait of Hormuz reopening, while U.S. immigration agents may be present at World Cup events—not for mass arrests, but for security.
