Iran’s World Cup Exit and Security Drama | Europe News

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin spilled the tea—literally—on his delight when Iran got booted from the World Cup, calling it a security win and even admitting he might’ve done a happy dance when their visas vanished. The tournament’s already been a geopolitical circus, with Iran’s trip fraught with visa chaos, a last-minute camp relocation to Mexico, and U.S. officials bending over backwards to accommodate while keeping a close eye. Mullin claimed Iran tried to sneak in IRGC-linked folks, demanded early arrival (which the U.S. refused), and ultimately got the VIP treatment: biometric processing in Tijuana, federal marshals on board, and a whole lot of scrutiny. He dismissed Iranian complaints as unreliable, insisting Iran posed the biggest security threat—and the U.S. didn’t just protect the games, they protected the nation.
