Iran has officially requested FIFA to suspend Israel from international soccer, citing the conflict with Hamas as the reason, while also being accused of backing terror organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

The Iranian Football Association has backed the call for FIFA to ban Israel, and Leo Varadkar, an Irish politician, mentioned that expelling Israel from certain sporting events might be appropriate.
