So much for shuttle diplomacy...

Apparently, the US Women's Badminton squad was to play against Iran, in Iran: they'd even made the audience "women only", so that the players on both sides wouldn't have to wear floor length clothes and keep their heads covered during play.
But today, it's all off: the Iranian government decided to refuse them visas. Weird. Just weird.

Yours, wondering what the politics behind the scenes in Iran mean,
