Iran's football team arrived in the United States for the first time at this World Cup on June 14, landing at Los Angeles International Airport and holding a press conference on the same day that a peace deal between the two countries was announced.

The Iran squad arrived after a short flight from Tijuana, Mexico, where it had been based, receiving a rousing sendoff ahead of its opening game against New Zealand at Los Angeles Stadium on June 15. CMG reporter Liu Xiaoqian brings us this report from Los Angeles.
