Iran's football team arrived in the United States for the first time at this World Cup on Sunday, landing at Los Angeles International Airport and holding a press conference on the same day that a peace deal between the two nations was announced. The Iran squad arrived after a short flight from Tijuana, Mexico, where they left their base ​camp earlier to a ‌rousing sendoff ahead of their opening game against New Zealand at Los Angeles Stadium on Monday.
