Rubio to Bar Iranians with Revolutionary Guard Ties from World Cup

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated Tuesday that individuals with ties to Iran's Revolutionary Guard will not be allowed to enter the country as part of Iran's World Cup delegation. While the Iranian national team will be based in Mexico during the tournament, they are scheduled to play matches in the United States.

Rubio clarified during a House of Representatives hearing that the US welcomes the national team and their support staff. However, he emphasized that the US will not allow entry to individuals who have no connection to sports but are linked to the Revolutionary Guard, promising that authorities will monitor the situation closely. saltysenoritaaz.com
