Iran have made a sensational request to football's governing body, FIFA, asking them to suspend USA from ongoing Qatar World Cup.
USA social media apparently removed the emblem "Allah" and "Takbirs (prayer)" from Iran's flag.
This act was done in the support of women's rights and the ongoing protests in Iran led by women.
US men's national team later confirmed that this act of support was one time affair and will not repeated in coming days in FIFA World Cup.
Iran's Tasnim News Agency cited section 13 of FIFA rules where FIFA mentions a sentence of 10 matches or a specific period if dignity or integrity of a country is offended.
Iran will play USA in their last group stage game in World Cup which could be a must-win game for both teams.
