Iran claims US blocks Taremi squad travel
The Iranian Football Federation has accused U.S. authorities of "placing obstacles" in the way of striker Mehdi Taremi and assistant coach Saeed Heydari, which led to a delay in the Iranian team’s arrival in Seattle ahead of their World Cup match against Egypt. American authorities have not commented on the reasons, although previous restrictions required Iran to arrive well in advance of matches, causing fatigue for the players. This incident follows the easing of U.S. travel restrictions on the Iranian delegation, amid political tensions that are affecting Iran's participation in the tournament.
