Iran footballers issued US visas for World Cup, says White House

Iran's World Cup football players have been granted US visas, allowing them to enter the country for their matches. The visas were granted overnight, despite Iran's ambassador to Mexico initially stating that the squad had not received them. US Ambassador to Turkiye confirmed the visas on X, praising the US Embassy in Ankara for processing the visas. However, visas for some members of the Iran team's technical and administrative staff have not yet been issued.
