In a letter to USA Wrestling on Wednesday, the Iran Wrestling Federation has indicated that it had decided not to travel to the United States to compete against Team USA at the Bout at the Ballpark in Arlington, Texas on February 12.
The letter from Iran Wrestling Federation President Ali Reza Dabir cited the fact that six members of the proposed 35-person Iran delegation did not receive visas from the U.S. State Department.
