Iran head coach Carlos Queiroz has had a heated exchange with a British reporter as anger mounts over the country's participation in the World Cup.
Queiroz's team start their campaign with a clash against England on Monday, but FIFA are facing serious questions about allowing them to play in the tournament. There have been widespread calls for FIFA to take action amid Iran's numerous human rights abuses, though so far they have ignored those demands.
The pressure is now also ramping up on Queiroz, who returned for his second spell in charge of Iran in September. He was confronted in a press conference held before an open training session on Tuesday by a reporter. And he angrily reacted to the suggestion that he should comment without being paid on the issues around the country he represents.
