Iran has accused U.S. officials of denying visas to key members of its national football team ahead of the FIFA World Cup, which is set to begin next week in North America.
According to Ukrinform, Politico stated this in an article.
The dispute marks another diplomatic confrontation between the two countries, which have been at war since late February, when the United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran. The two sides have not yet reached a peace agreement.
Now, just days before Iran's match against the New Zealand national football team on June 15 in Los Angeles, Iran's embassy in Turkey has accused the United States of "the worst possible form of politically biased interference in sport."
