The president of Iran’s Wrestling Federation, Alireza Dabir, says he was left with “no choice but to cancel” an Iran-US meet after several visa applications submitted by the Iranian delegation were rejected by American authorities.
In a letter to his American counterpart, Dabir lamented the fact that he and five others had been denied their visas and were, therefore, unable to make it to the event in Arlington, Texas, scheduled for Feb. 12.
