Refusal to issue visas for Iran federation officials illegal

 


 TEHRAN, Nov. 30 (MNA) – Deputy Iranian foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi described the US refusal to issue visas for representatives of the Iranian Football Federation to attend the 2026 World Cup draw ceremony as “illegal”. Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for International and Legal Affairs noted that he has not been directly involved in following up on the matter, stressing that the host country is obliged to ensure the participation of all teams and their representatives, and that Iran has formally lodged its objection. He called the Football Federation’s decision to boycott the draw ceremony “the right move”, adding: “When a visa is issued for only one person, it is natural that the individual can decide whether or not to attend the event.” Criticizing certain countries for exploiting their position as hosts, he described such behavior as “improper and unacceptable”, saying that excluding some countries from sports events by denying visas runs counter to professional and athletic principles. Gharibabadi also stressed that Iran will continue its efforts to remove obstacles to the participation of its athletes in international competitions, adding that such actions should not affect the motivation of Iranian athletes. He expressed hope that Iranian representatives will continue to bring pride to the country on global stages.

ITS "DEAD END" FOR INDIAN FOREIGN RELATIONS - CREDIT GOES TO MODI LED BJP 'SARKAR'

Advertisement:  //lidsaich.net/4/6356527 India used to maintain fine balance in its foreign relations while dealing with America and Russia. However, since PM Modi took charge in 2014 a visible shift was observed in India’s foreign policy towards America and that traditional balance was compromised. During PM Modi’s tenure, India entered into three most significant military agreements with the Americans including BECA. Now this was senseless move from the BJP government because of the fact that the India is heavily dependent on Russia for military needs and Russia US are Arch Rivals. Which means India went with USA on strategic matters and at the same time, it kept relying on Russia to fulfill its military needs. So it was quite obvious that whenever there would be any dispute between the Russia and America, it would be hard for India to make any policy decision. This is exactly what has happened now during Ukraine Russia War where Russians are against Ukraine and US is with Ukra...
