The Iranian national team may withdraw from the World Cup due to the aggressive policy of the United States towards the Middle Eastern country.
Idman.Biz reports this with reference to Marca.
On the morning of February 28, Israel launched a "preemptive strike" against Iran, and a few hours later, US President Donald Trump announced the start of a major military operation. Iran responded by launching missile strikes against Israel and US bases in the region.
The Iranian national team qualified for the 2026 World Cup and is in Group G, where they will face Belgium, Egypt, and New Zealand. All three of the team's games are scheduled to be held in the United States.
The 2026 World Cup will be held this summer in three countries - the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
