In a post on his X account on Tuesday, Araqchi reacted to remarks by Mullin, who, according to The Athletic, “did a happy dance” following Iran’s elimination from the World Cup.
“’Mission Accomplished,’ Mr. Mullin,” Araqchi wrote in his post on X.
“You also accomplished something else: proving to the world that you have no business hosting an international tournament. Your conduct has been a masterclass for how to squander the dignity that comes with being a host,” Araqchi reminded the US secretary.
