US envoy confirms Iranian footballers granted visas for World Cup

US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack confirmed that Iran's national football team has been granted visas to enter the United States for the World Cup. The team will fly from Turkey to Spain and then to their base camp in Mexico, which has issued visas. Due to tensions from the Middle East war, Iran's base is in Mexico instead of the US. Their first group match is against New Zealand on June 16 in Los Angeles.
