Iran's national soccer team left a thank-you letter in its locker room at the Los Angeles stadium following a 0-0 draw with Belgium, N12 reports. The message thanked the city for hosting the team during the World Cup, praised the fans, and concluded with a call for peace, mutual respect, and friendship between all peoples.
The note, compared to an earlier unconfirmed report of a 'Minab 168' jab at the US (which The Zioneer covered as an unverified single-source claim), contains no such reference, according to this report. The earlier claim, cited by analyst Yair Goldblatt, was never corroborated by additional sources.
The team's visit to the US has been marked by diplomatic tension. As The Zioneer reported on June 17, Iran's team was ordered to leave the US immediately after its opening match against New Zealand. The team later played Belgium to a scoreless draw.
