Iran cannot participate in World Cup: Sports minister

Iran cannot participate in the 2026 World Cup after the United States killed their leader ⁠Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, sports minister Ahmad Donyamali said on Wednesday.

"Considering that this corrupt regime (the U.S.) has ⁠assassinated our leader, under no circumstances can we participate ⁠in the World Cup," the minister ⁠told state television.
