What Happened
Iran has been eliminated from the World Cup after a late goal in stoppage time was disallowed due to an offside call. The goal, which would have given Iran a late lead against Egypt, was reviewed by VAR and ultimately waved off, ending the team's hopes of advancing.
The decision has drawn criticism, with one Iranian diplomat describing the VAR interventions as 'pseudo-VAR.' The late drama and the disallowed goal have led to discussions about the team's misfortune in the tournament.
This outcome marks the end of Iran's journey in the World Cup knockout stage, with the team exiting the competition following the controversial decision.
