WASHINGTON, June 23 (Reuters) – The United States eased restrictions on the Iran squad’s travel arrangements at the World Cup on Tuesday, allowing them to travel two days before their next match, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said.

The Iranian team were previously only allowed to enter the U.S. a day before a match, a move that led the coach to say Iran were “the most oppressed team in the whole World Cup.”

“For the Iranian team’s third match in Seattle on June 26, the team has been permitted to come into the U.S. two days before the match,” a DHS spokesperson said.

“The Iran team will still be required to leave the day the match ends. The overall security measures and protocol are the same. We remain committed to providing the safest tournament possible for players, staff, and fans alike.”

FIFA and the Iranian team did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Iran expressed intent last week to lodge a complaint with soccer’s world governing body FIFA over the travel restrictions the team have been facing, commuting from their tournament base in Tijuana, Mexico, the day ahead of their games in the United States. The restrictions come amid high tensions between Washington and Tehran following a nearly four-month war.

In March, U.S. President Donald Trump said while Iran were welcome to participate in the tournament, he believed it was not appropriate that they remain there between matches “for their own life and safety.”

DUBAI/LONDON, June 23 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday Iran had agreed to nuclear inspections into “infinity”, despite Tehran’s denials, as the U.N. began efforts to evacuate hundreds of ships from the [Persian] Gulf in a tentative return to calm after a fragile peace deal.

The U.N. shipping agency said an evacuation plan to enable some 11,000 seafarers stuck aboard vessels in the [Persian] Gulf to sail through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran effectively blocked during the war, was underway after the ceasefire deal between Washington and Tehran.

“We have now started contacting the ships to start the evacuation,” a spokesperson for the U.N.’s International Maritime Organization (IMO) said, without providing a timeframe, adding that the agency had secured “the necessary safety guarantees” and verified conditions for safe navigation.

IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez said the “large-scale operation” would unfold in close cooperation with Iran, Oman, other coastal states, the U.S. and the maritime industry.

WASHINGTON, June 23 (Reuters) – The Republican-maj

WASHINGTON, June 23 (Reuters) – The Republican-majority U.S. Senate backed legislation on Tuesday to halt U.S. military action against Iran, but it was not immediately clear how it would affect the conflict as President Donald Trump’s administration negotiates a peace agreement with the Islamic republic.

The Senate voted 50-48 in favor of the concurrent resolution, which passed the House of Representatives early this month, reflecting growing concern even among some of Trump’s Republicans about the unpopular conflict that began on February 28.

ABU DHABI, June 23 (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio acknowledged he faces a delicate mission this week pitching Washington’s Iran peace deal to [Persian]Gulf Arab leaders who fear excessive concessions will strengthen Tehran and reshape the region’s security balance and oil flows.

America’s top diplomat arrived in the United Arab Emirates late on Tuesday and was due to travel in coming days to Kuwait and Bahrain, where he will meet officials from the [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council, a grouping of monarchies that also includes Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman.

Asked if he was planning to address allies’ disquiet with the accord, Rubio told reporters: “That most certainly will come up in these discussions.” He said they would also discuss issues not covered by the memorandum of understanding.

At issue are elements of a draft agreement that includes no limits on Iran’s ballistic missiles, a proposed $300 billion reconstruction fund and provisions that could expand Tehran’s regional influence and control over critical oil shipping lanes.

He said he would not be asking regional allies to contribute to any reconstruction fund during the trip, even as the MoU suggests that countries in the region would at least be partially responsible for footing the bill. He said that was a discussion for the future, and Iran receiving any funds would depend on Tehran’s behavior going forward.

“That’s far down the road,” Rubio said.

GENEVA, June 23 (Reuters) – Iran alone will decide how to use assets that are unfrozen under a deal with the United States, an Iranian envoy said on Tuesday, denying Washington would have any control over the funds or that they must be used to buy U.S. commodities.

The U.S. waived sanctions on Iran for 60 days from Monday after the talks in Switzerland on turning an interim deal into a lasting peace agreement. Frozen Iranian assets worth about $12 billion are expected to be released under the initial accord.

Vice President JD Vance said on Monday the U.S. and Qatar would have control over the funds when they are unfrozen, and that the money ⁠could be spent on U.S. corn, soy and wheat.

Ali Bahreini, Iran‘s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, said on Tuesday the two sides had held “very good talks” but challenged Vance’s statement on use of the assets.

“Iran is the only country to decide what to do with its assets, which are going to be defrozen, and so I reject any claim about that if there would be any role for any other country to have an influence on those decisions or on those processes,” Bahreini told reporters in Geneva.

WASHINGTON, June 23 (Reuters) – U.S. President Don

WASHINGTON, June 23 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump insisted on Tuesday that Iran has agreed to allow nuclear inspections long into the future, despite statements from Iran that it has not done so.

“Iran has fully and completely agreed to highest level Nuclear inspections long into the future (Infinity!!!),” he wrote in a social media post. “This will insure ‘Nuclear Honesty.’ If they did not agree to this, there would be no further negotiations!”

Iran has denied it had begun discussions on its nuclear program or agreed to invite International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors back to the country.

Trump also said that the United States would leave ships in the Strait of Hormuz in case it becomes necessary to reimpose its blockade of Iranian ports, something he said was “at this point, highly unlikely.” He added that 19 million barrels of oil flowed out of the Hormuz Strait on Monday.

The United States waived sanctions on Iran for 60 days from Monday after the first talks under a nascent peace deal.

Trump on Tuesday said the funds that the U.S. Treasury is releasing will go into escrow under U.S. control and will be used to buy food and medical supplies exclusively from the United States, including corn, wheat, and soybeans.

“These are things that are desperately needed by Iran. This is a humanitarian crisis, and I feel it is necessary to help, NOW, before it is too late,” Trump wrote.
