A politician in the Trump administration says he did a “happy dance” and “sung a song or two” to celebrate Iran’s exit from the World Cup.
Iran was knocked out of the World Cup after drawing all three of its group games, concluding in a 1-1 draw against Egypt which saw Shojae Khalilzadeh’s injury-time goal ruled out by VAR for a tight offside call.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin welcomed that outcome when addressing reporters during a World Cup briefing at the government’s Special Event Coordination Center on Monday. “I’m just glad they’re done, and they’re not coming back,” Mullin said, as reported by Sports Business Journal. “I was so happy when we were able to pull their visas and said they could leave the U.S. soil, and I might’ve sung a song or two or maybe even danced a happy dance.”
Mullin added he was “very happy they’re going back because there wasn’t a single team that we dealt with more than them.”
