The World Cup needs delayed and moved, the only country hosting that’s remotely safe is Canada
How can any nation play matches there?
I wonder why they specified Mexico specifically? the article doesn’t give a source for the speech
“When Trump has explicitly stated that he cannot ensure the security of the Iranian national team, we will certainly not travel to America,” Taj said in comments posted on the Iranian Embassy’s X account.
where in that statement does it specify mexico, and also, rule out canada as an alternative?

i think everyone who plans to travel to see the games wants that. Being detained and treated like an animal is not everyone to-do list.
