Trump Admin Shifts Travel Rules for Iran Ahead of Critical World Cup Match

The Trump Administration and DHS have eased travel restrictions for the Iranian soccer team before their critical World Cup match in Seattle. While previous matches in Los Angeles allowed entry only one day prior, the team can now arrive two days early. This shift follows an initial policy requiring same-day travel. White House FIFA Task Force executive director Andrew Giuliani noted the change, which is significant as no direct flights exist from Tijuana, Mexico, to Seattle.
