Amid announcement of peace agreement, Iran arrives in the US under tight security The arrival of the Iranian team in Los Angeles, in the United States, marked another chapter in a long process that took international politics into the World Cup. The Iranian delegation disembarked moments before the announcement of an agreement between the United States and Iran, this Sunday (14). From the airport, the team went directly to a nearby hotel.
