## Resource

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin danced with joy as Iran exited the World Cup, calling it a relief his department had spent more time monitoring them than any other team. Amid U.S.-Iran tensions, his office restricted the Iranian squad’s movements and even revoked visas — moves Iran’s federation and coach fiercely denied, calling the treatment unfair. Despite the hurdles, Iran’s players honored their nation with pride and dignity, leaving heartfelt messages in their locker rooms. This tournament became a flashpoint where sports and politics collided — proving global events often reflect deeper geopolitical realities.
