Big news out of Tehran: Team Melli is set to skip the World Cup draw after the U.S. only granted visas to four out of seven of their football officials, including a snub for FFIRI President Mehdi Taj. The Iranian camp says this move is about more than just sport, and they’ve already raised the issue with FIFA. With Iran making its fourth straight World Cup, this controversy adds serious heat to the 2026 tournament build-up. #Sports #Soccer #WorldCup2026
