The Iranian government has begun taking serious measures against renowned footballer Sardor Azmoun. According to sources, he was included in the list of persons suspected of "helping the Zionist regime and the US terrorist government."
On March 26, the Prosecutor General of the Gulistan region announced the start of the process of confiscating the officially registered property of 16 citizens. According to Fars News Agency, 31-year-old forward Sardor Azmun is also on the blacklist.
This incident further fueled the controversy surrounding the player. Previously, reports circulated in the media that he had been removed from the national team. The reason cited was his posting of a photo with Muhammad ibn Rashid Al Maktum on social media.

Some Iranian football analysts assessed this action as a "sign of disloyalty" to government policy. Therefore, this situation is causing great discussion not only in sports but also in political circles.
Experts believe that such decisions could significantly impact the player's performance and international image. Now the focus is on how this case will end and what will be Azmoun's subsequent fate.
