On Tuesday, June 2, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers that he would be diligent about who the U.S. allows into the country.
During a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Rubio warned about members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) trying to "embed" with the Iran national team.
“What we’re not going to allow is for them to embed in their delegation a bunch of people that we know have nothing to do with athletics and have ties to the IRGC or things of that nature, so we were going to watch that very closely,” Rubio said at the hearing.
The U.S. government designates the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization, but military service is mandatory in Iran and some players on the national team, including captain Mehdi Taremi have served in branch.
