Taremi could not fly to the USA: Inter striker may miss the tournament

According to information from one of the leading Italian news agencies, ANSA, experienced Iranian striker Mehdi Taremi of Inter Milan has been denied the opportunity to participate in the team's training camp in California. This was due to the heightened military situation between Iran and Israel and security threats.

It is reported that Taremi's flight to the United States was canceled due to serious security problems in Iranian airspace. This situation puts the player's participation in the upcoming tournament with the Italian club in jeopardy.

Inter Milan will begin their test in the competition on the evening of June 18 with a match against the Mexican team Monterrey. Milan is in Group E, which also includes Argentine giants River Plate and the famous Japanese team Urawa Red Diamonds. These matches are important not only from a sporting point of view, but also from the point of view of the team's success and public attention.

Mehdi Taremi is a regular member of the Iranian national team and recently made a significant contribution to the team in the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. Iran finished first in Group A and qualified directly for the World Cup. As a result, Taremi's experience and impact on the game have become even more important.

Inter management is in regular contact with the player. Club specialists are monitoring the situation from a security perspective and are doing everything possible to ensure that Taremi joins the team in a timely manner. However, it is also noted that this will not be easy due to the current geopolitical situation.

If Taremi misses the tournament in the United States, this could lead to tactical changes in Inter's attack. As one of the central figures of the team, this potential striker, who has played on both national and international stages, can make an impact in any match.

At the same time, it is once again evident that Iran's involvement in global political processes and international relations towards it are also influencing the actions of athletes. This situation will prompt important conclusions not only for Inter, but also for other teams.
