Iranian media reported on Sunday that the country has lifted its ban on U.S. wrestlers, allowing them to participate in the Freestyle World Cup later this month. The wrestlers were originally banned from the Feb. 16-17 competition after President Donald Trump temporarily suspended travel from seven Muslim-majority countries, including Iran. The Trump administration is now appealing to reinstate the travel ban. On Sunday a federal appeals court denied the Justice Department's request for an immediate reinstatement of Trump's ban on accepting certain travelers and refugees. The wrestling competition will take place in the Iranian city of Kermanshah.
