Summary
Iran’s World Cup squad is finally cleared to enter the U.S., after visa approval came through amid weeks of uncertainty — though some staff may still be waiting. The team shifted training to Mexico just weeks ago due to U.S.-Iran tensions, with the ambassador framing their participation as a peace gesture. Concerns linger about individuals linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, including their federation head, who was previously denied entry. But for now, the players are all set — Group G kicks off June 15th against New Zealand, followed by Belgium and Egypt. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
