5:03Now PlayingIran's FIFA World Cup campaign has begun amid extraordinary political drama. The Iranian national football team landed in Los Angeles just hours before a reported US-Iran peace agreement, only to be greeted by anti-regime protesters carrying banners and photographs of alleged victims of unrest in Iran.
As Iran prepares for its crucial World Cup clash against New Zealand, politics, diplomacy and football are colliding on the global stage. Protesters gathered outside training venues and stadium areas, while security was tightened around the team's stay in California.

Watch the full report.
