Iran has congratulated the 'friendly people and government of Spain' after yesterday's victory in the World Cup. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said his country shares the joy with Spain after the 1-0 victory over Argentina in New Jersey.
For some political commentators, the final took on geopolitical significance, with the two deeply different attitudes towards Israel in Madrid and Buenos Aires, leading them to present the match as a symbolic representation of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
We congratulate the success of the Spanish football team and the achievement of the title of the championship of the world championship.

شادماني ملت و دولت دوست Spain شادماني ملت و دولت ایران است.
Spain's government has been one of the most vocal in the world against Israel's military actions in Gaza in recent years, leading to tensions with Israel and the US, both of which launched a joint attack on Iran earlier this year.
Argentina and Israel have close ties. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his support for Argentina in the final, accepting a jersey from the Buenos Aires ambassador before the match.
This division was referred to by Iran's foreign ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baghaei, who told media in Tehran this morning that Spain's "anti-aggression stance" in recent months made the global public really want this team to win.
