US eases travel rules for Iran's World Cup team

The U.S. has eased travel restrictions for the Iranian soccer team, allowing them to enter the country two days before their World Cup match in Seattle. This represents a further softening of previous policies, which had permitted entry only on the day of the match. The team will still be required to depart the U.S. on the same day as their game concludes. AI
