TEHRAN, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Foreign Ministry has decided against the participation of the U.S. freestyle wrestling team in the upcoming world cup competitions in the country, official IRNA news agency reported Friday.
"The subject was discussed in a special committee and finally it opposed the travel of the U.S. wrestling team to Iran" to partake in the competitions, the Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qasemi told IRNA.
On Jan. 31, Iran said that it stopped granting visas to U.S. citizens in response to Washington's recent travel ban against citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries, including Iran.
