“These games that Iran plays makes them an adversary that you can't trust," Markwayne Mullin said.
As U.S.-Iran negotiations got off the rocky start in Switzerland, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin revealed Sunday that Tehran tried to sneak several military-tied operatives into the United States with its World Cup soccer team.
Mullin said more than half the soccer representatives Iran tried to bring with its team had ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and that even a man posting Saturday as their soccer federation president was tied to the extreme military group and then I've entered ahead of Sunday's match.
"The guy that tried to get on the plane yesterday had direct ties to the IRGC,” the Homeland chief told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo.
“We accepted 53 individuals coming in and the rest of the individuals that Iran had tried to bring in all also had direct ties to the IRGC and aren’t their normal traveling group,” he said.
Mullin said President Donald Trump expected Iran to sneak bad actors into the country and authorized Homeland to do extreme vetting.
“These games that Iran plays makes them an adversary that you can't trust," he said.

Take his pic and passport information and post it for all in Iran to see. When the time comes he just might be running for his life. Put a WANTED headline above his pic.
We are in a hot war with Iran right now. It would have made better sense not to accept any players from Iran for right now anyway. I’m glad Mullen is having his team look very closely to everyone trying to enter the country during this event.
I suspect some of these IRGC guys are there to keep an eye on the players. They don’t want any defecting. Just like the problem with their women players wanting to stay in Australia.
If Iran was hosting this Soccer extravaganza, I could nearly guarantee you that our American Soccer Team would simply never have been invited to enter Iran and play any games.
Why? Because of our active War status.
Mullin says, “It’s soccer, not sucker.”
