The Journal

IRAN cannot take part in this summer's World Cup in North America under any circumstances, the country's sports minister is reported to have said.

The United States and Israel launched air strikes on Iran on February 28, sparking retaliatory attacks by Iran on Israel and other Middle East countries housing US military bases.

Iran are due to play all three of their group games at this summer's finals in the US and could even face the co-hosts in the round of 32 if both finish second in their group.

However, sports minister Ahmad Donyamali appeared to rule out the possibility of them taking part.
