Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Bahram Qasemi, said on Friday that presence of the US wrestling team in the 2017 World Cup in Kermanshah city of Iran has been rejected.
Iran rejects US wrestlers' presence in 2017 World Cup
Speaking to IRNA, Qasemi reiterated that the case of the US wrestling team’s presence in the event in Iran had been referred to a special committee, which opposed to presence of the team after necessary studies.
The 2017 Wrestling World Cup – Men’s freestyle is expected to be held in Iran’s western province of Kermanshah on February (16-17).
He said due to the US new President Donald Trump’s policies, the Foreign Ministry was obliged inevitably to oppose the US wrestling team’s travel to Iran.
The US President, Donald Trump, recently signed an order based on which US borders will be closed for 4 months on refugees. Visa issuance has also been banned for 7 Muslim countries, including Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Syria, Somalia and Yemen for 3 months.
The US decision has widely been criticized by human rights bodies, indicating that Trump has targeted Muslims for their beliefs.

I don’t blame them. They can’t go to America so y should Americans be able to travel to Iran.
I’m so scared of what is to come. I think #notmypresident is opening up so many cans of worms.
wait till next year this time when the treasury secretary and the IRS report to him that revenues fall short because 1. almost zero allocated from tourism because he done cancel all visas to the us 2. consumption and income tax allocation cut in half because he done deport all immigrants legal & illegal 3. all of silicon valley relocate to canada & mexico so there goes half the nation’s corporate tax(and remember he just gave the rest of corporate america a 20% reduction in tax under the disguise to bring jobs back, which jobs I don’t know) 4. he and his henchmen are already beating the war drum so a war is eminent in the future where the money gonna come from to finance war when all the traditional tax payers are persona-non-grata or deported? wonder if he thinks his buddy putie-put gonna run come to his rescue and bail him out? . . . . . wonder if that is the plan? . . . . . to sign over america as collateral? :matabelo
