As the football world gears up for the FIFA Club World Cup, a growing concern looms over Inter Milan: Mehdi Taremi remains stuck in Tehran, caught in the middle of the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel.

💥 According to recent statements from the Iranian military, the next offensive could involve over 2,000 missiles, making it 20 times more intense than previous attacks. This alarming escalation has placed the entire Iranian territory under maximum alert—grounding Taremi and putting his travel plans on hold.

At the heart of this geopolitical crisis, Taremi finds himself in a surreal situation: unable to leave the country and join his new team just weeks before the Club World Cup kicks off. For Inter, it’s a race against time.

📞 The Italian club remains in daily contact with the striker, working closely with diplomatic and sports authorities to find a safe and viable solution. The coaching staff is still hopeful they can count on the Iranian forward for the prestigious international tournament.

Caught between sporting ambition and political unrest, Taremi has unwillingly become a symbol of how global conflict can ripple into the world of football. For now, he waits in Iran, hoping for a humanitarian corridor or travel window. And the football world waits with him—hoping for peace, and his safe return.
