JAKARTA - Iranian national team forward Mehdi Taremi is in danger of not being able to strengthen Inter Milan in the 2025 Club World Cup. Because of the Iran-Israel war, he could not get out of his country.
War is only a problem. Even a Taremi must accept the fact that he cannot leave his country because of the conflict with Israel.
The war made all flights from Iran to other countries closed. As a result, Taremi, who played 43 times last season with Inter and 18 times as a starter, could not return to Italy to undergo preparations for the Club World Cup.
It all started when Taremi had to return to the country to strengthen Iran in two Asian zone 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against Qatar and North Korea.
In the match against Qatar, which acted as the host, Iran surprisingly lost 1-0. However, Team Melli finally got up in the final match of the third round of qualifiers by destroying North Korea 3-0.
The victory made Iran to the top of the standings after winning two points. They also made sure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
After carrying out the country's duties, according to The Sun, Taremi intends to return to Italy. But that hope didn't come true. The former Porto player is still stuck in his country. Inter themselves are trying for this 32-year-old player to leave Iran.
Taremi is Iran's first player to play for Inter. He became Asia's second player after Yuto Nagatomo, who came from Japan.
Taremi also equaled the achievements of Iranian legend Ali Daei who had tasted the Champions League final. Daei became part of the Bayern Munich squad which lost 2-1 against Manchester United in the 1999 Champions League final which ended dramatically.
How could I not, Bayern's 1-0 win was saved by goals from Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in injury time.
