U.S. President Donald Trump has reversed his earlier position on welcoming Iran’s national football team to the upcoming World Cup. In a post on Truth Social, Trump began by welcoming the team but added that he did not believe it would be safe for them to come to the United States given the current situation. His statement came less than a day after FIFA President Gianni Infantino claimed that Trump had reaffirmed support for Iran’s participation.
Tensions between the two nations have escalated since a joint U.S.-Israeli strike on February 28 in Iran killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several senior officials. In response, Iran launched drone and missile attacks on U.S. bases in the region. Following Infantino’s earlier post, Iran’s sports minister announced on state television that the country would not participate in the World Cup, citing the U.S. government’s actions.
The World Cup is scheduled to take place from June 11 to July 19 across the United States, Mexico, and Canada, with Iran’s group-stage matches set in the U.S. FIFA has not yet commented on the situation, leaving uncertainty over Iran’s participation.
