US Homeland Security Secretary Markquin Mullin stated Sunday evening that Iran attempted to infiltrate operatives from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps into the United States, using the Iranian national football team's participation in the World Cup as cover. The scheme was reportedly foiled or uncovered, though no further details on timing, method, or number of personnel were provided. The claim has not been independently confirmed by multiple sources. The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday on an unverified report of a similar alleged IRGC infiltration attempt via the same World Cup delegation.
