Iran’s Sports Minister has stated that the country will not be able to participate in the 2026 World Cup after the United States assassinated its leader. “Considering that this corrupt regime murdered our leader, under no circumstances can we participate in the World Cup.”
Supreme leader Ali Khamenei was killed in a joint attack between the United States and Israel on February 28, which started a war that has lasted 11 days, with serious consequences for the global economy and insecurity over the production and flow of oil around the world.
This Wednesday (11), the president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, said that he met with the president of the United States, Donald Trump. The American leader reportedly supported Iran’s participation in this year’s World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada.
