U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin defended visa and travel restrictions placed on members of Iran's World Cup team. The U.S. official said, "If there was any country we weren't going to allow in here, Iran would probably be the reason why we wouldn't allow them in here." Mullin added that U.S. authorities still worked with FIFA to clear as many Iranian delegates as possible. #worldcup2026 #mtjag Watch CGTN LIVE on your computer, tablet or mobile https://www.cgtnnow.com/featured/events/cgtn-live-now-1 Subscribe to CGTN America on YouTube Follow CGTN America: X: @cgtnamerica Facebook: @cgtnamerica Instagram: @cgtnamerica TikTok: @cgtnamerica This material is distributed by MediaLinks TV, LLC on behalf of CCTV.
