An Iranian man was tragically shot dead by security forces during celebrations over the country’s World Cup loss to the United States, it has been reported.
Mehran Samak, 27, reportedly was honking his car horn along with hundreds of others in Bandar Anzali, a city on the Caspian Sea coast, north-west of the capital Tehran, before he was killed.
People were horrified to learn that Mr Samak was a childhood friend of Iranian international midfielder Saeid Ezatolahi, who played in the US match.
