US President Donald Trump stated that he intends to improve relations with Iran. According to him, Washington is ready to leave military conflicts behind and aims to open doors for cooperation between the two countries.
Trump's Address to Iran
In a letter to Iran, Donald Trump emphasized:
"I am writing this letter with the aim of opening new frontiers. It is time to leave military actions behind. We can lift sanctions and open the doors for cooperation between the two countries."
However, the president did not forget to warn Iran in his address:
"We warn you: if you reject the hand extended in friendship, our response will be severe."
Relations between Iran and the US
Relations between Washington and Tehran have deteriorated sharply in recent years. The US has imposed economic sanctions against Iran several times and accused Iran of dangerous geopolitical actions. Additionally, Iran has been included in the list of 43 countries that do not have friendly relations with the US.
Football and Politics: Iran's Participation in the 2026 World Cup Under Question
Recently, the issue of Iran's national team participating in the World Cup to be held in the US, Mexico, and Canada in 2026 has been discussed. The reason is that Iran has been placed on the list of countries with poor relations with the US.
At the same time, the Iranian national team has already secured a spot for the 2026 World Cup, and its participation in the tournament has not been officially canceled.
Donald Trump's statement could be a serious step aimed at easing the tense relations between Iran and the US. However, it remains unclear how Tehran will respond to this proposal. If relations between the US and Iran do not improve, it could lead to serious consequences not only politically but also in the field of sports.
