It seems like everyone has been making this out to be some sort of international political battle. Very dumb. There are plenty more storylines than the underlying tension between the USA and Iran's respective governments.
Here's my take on the situation, both written and with an audio narration:

I got to meet the Iran team back in 2006, they are some cool guys. Both of these teams could give a crap about some stupid politics. It's all about playing bball.
I am looking forward to seeing what Kamani and Ehdadi do this game. I hope Chandler gets more minutes, I want to see him and Ehdadi go at it."...I got the hand that will rock your craddle / cream you like cheese spread you on my bagel..." - Shaq

Yeah, the players either don't give a crap about politics or are not allowed to talk about it.
USA and Iran already met in the 98 football WC and it was a perfectly peaceful game from both sides, even though the medias (at least the french ones) seemed to expect hell to break loose during the game.

US defense is looking garbage. Man, they are starting to show us why they will probably not win this WC. Horrible rotation and less aggression will be the end of our rope later on.
Good game by Iran so far."...I got the hand that will rock your craddle / cream you like cheese spread you on my bagel..." - Shaq
