Dabir: Iran to Boycott World Championships if Any Member Is Denied a U.S. Visa

Dabir says Iran will boycott the upcoming world championships if even one member of its delegation is denied a U.S. visa. The threat adds a diplomatic dimension to the country’s participation in international competition, where visa decisions can affect athletes, coaches, and officials. Iranian representatives are demanding equal access for the full delegation, while organizers may face pressure to resolve the dispute before the event. The standoff highlights continuing tensions between Tehran and Washington beyond traditional political arenas and sports.
