Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has sharply criticised the United States after Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin celebrated Iran's elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Araghchi accused Washington of politicising football and questioned America's fitness to host the tournament, saying the U.S. had "no business hosting an international tournament." Tehran also cited visa restrictions, changes to the team's training arrangements and alleged unequal treatment throughout the competition. Iranian officials and head coach Amir Ghalenoei further accused U.S. authorities of failing to separate sport from politics, turning Iran's World Cup exit into a wider diplomatic dispute. #Iran #USA #FIFAWorldCup2026 #AbbasAraghchi #WorldCup #Football #FIFA #MarkwayneMullin #IranFootball #BreakingNews #SportsPolitics #USAIran #WorldNews #Soccer #Geopolitics Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
