Since when does FIFA cares about wars? Unless Iran develops ICBMs and start launching them here, World Cup will take place in June as scheduled.

(3,480 posts)Iran's place at the men's World Cup in three months' time was put in doubt Monday amid an escalating Middle East conflict sparked by the soccer tournament's co-host the United States.
Iran are due to play their three group stage games in the U.S. -- two in Inglewood, California, then in Seattle -- from June 15 to June 26. Cities in Canada and Mexico also will host some of the 104 games.
The U.S. and Israel have targeted Iran in coordinated attacks since Saturday that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and dozens more senior officials.
It provoked an Iranian response that aimed missiles at U.S. allies including 2022 World Cup host Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which FIFA has picked to stage the 2034 edition.
