The United State's wrestling team has been denied entry into Iran days after President Donald Trump signed an executive order denying visa to 7 Islamic nations, Iran included.
This appears to be the first action taken by Tehran in response to President Trump forbidding visas for Iranian nationals.
The Freestyle World Cup is scheduled for Feb. 16-17 in the western city of Kermanshah and USA Wrestling was due to attend the competition.
But according to Iran's official state-run news agency IRNA, the Iranian foreign ministry said that it had to ban the wrestlers because of Trump's executive order.
There was no immediate response from USA Wrestling.
"Iran is playing with fire — they don't appreciate how "kind" President Obama was to them. Not me!" Trump tweeted Friday.
