The United States says it is continuing to review arrangements related to Iran’s World Cup travel plans, but that the original restrictions remain in place for now. Andrew Giuliani, executive director of the White House Task Force for the tournament, tells Reuters that discussions are ongoing and that the U.S. will keep assessing the Iran squad’s travel arrangements. The comments come after Iran’s national team said it would lodge a complaint with FIFA over the restrictions. The U.S. response characterizes the situation as an active review process rather than a finalized decision, indicating that further engagement may occur before any changes are made. While the outlets report that the Iran team is preparing to seek FIFA’s intervention, the U.S. position presented is that it will not immediately change course and will instead continue its assessment of compliance and logistics related to the World Cup. The report does not specify what aspects of the travel restrictions are under review or what timeline exists for possible updates.
