Iran's ambassador to Mexico has voiced strong criticism over the United States' reported refusal to issue visas for the Iranian delegation set to attend the World Cup. The ambassador described the decision as unjust and contrary to the spirit of international sportsmanship, urging the U.S. to reconsider and fulfill its obligations as a host nation. The visa denial has further strained relations between the two countries, with Iranian officials calling it a politically motivated move that undermines the universal appeal of the World Cup.
