Don't care how you feel about the Iranian government, these athletes got done dirty. Really disgraceful.

Analysis Summary
Iran's World Cup team faced documented travel restrictions, visa denials, and logistical barriers imposed by the US during the ongoing conflict—they couldn't stay overnight in the country and their coach formally complained to FIFA about "really terrible" treatment. The team was eliminated after drawing 1-1 with Egypt on the same day US military strikes hit Iranian installations. The broader context: Iran's athletes bore collateral consequences of the geopolitical conflict, which is what Friedman is calling out as unfair.

“Iranian athletes got done dirty”
Iran's World Cup team faced documented visa denials, travel restrictions, and inability to stay overnight in the US due to the ongoing war. Coach publicly stated they received 'really terrible' treatment. However, 'done dirty' is subjective characterization rather than discrete fact.
“Iran's World Cup campaign ended in elimination”
Multiple sources confirm Iran drew 1-1 with Egypt and was eliminated from the tournament following an Austria-Algeria result. The linked article and independent search results all confirm elimination.
