Al Jazeera·2h ago·Neutral

What Happened

Iran's sports minister says the national football team will participate in the World Cup only if player safety in the United States is guaranteed. The government and Supreme National Security Council will make the final decision. Team Melli is scheduled to play all matches in the US, but participation remains uncertain due to US-Israeli tensions that began February 28. The team continues training regardless.
