Iran is providing drones to Russia.

Russia built a Chernobyl style nuclear plant for Iran.

it will be interesting how FIFA handles it.

let another Euro or south American team go to take the spot?

Where are you seeing this? I know some Iranian American activist is calling for it but that’s all I’ve heard.

It will never happen.

Russia hosted the 2018 WC after all the Crimea nonsense in 2014 ffs

I saw a tweet about it yesterday, but I thought it was because Iran arrested one of its women's NT players after she refused to wear a hijab.

Nothing is going to come of it, same as when that Colombia/Ecuador thing happened a few months ago.

Suppose Iran didn’t get the memo about what happened at the site.

Didn't the entire Iranian team protest against their regime in their last match?

Not a huge fan of punishing the players for something their government did.

If we can just get Jackson to build them a water system and New Orleans to build them a few roads Iran will collapse before the World Cup is even played.

And we're providing weapons to Saudi Arabia that are being used to carpet bomb Yemen into the stone age. Should we be kicked out?

United Arab Emirates should replace Iran as the next best team, or would FIFA take the highest rated from rankings that didn’t make it - like a Colombia for instance?

Punishing athletes and fans for the political actions of their government is about the dumbest thing possible.

Almost as dumb as retroactively vacating wins.

USA invades Iraq over fake weapons and has been funneling billions of dollars and weapons to prolong this war and we want to sanction Iran? Don't forget we also donated billions in weapons to the Taliban as well. What happened to that 1.7 billion that Obama gave Iran? Is that money being used to send weapons to Russia? USA is full of hypocrites.

It's not. The only near credible entity calling for this is Urkaines top club and some Iranian activists.

I think this is playing a major part of it as well. The murder of that woman has caused a month of human rights protests bordering on revolution.
