Caption: Mullin Says He ‘Did A Happy Dance’ After Iran World Cup Exit. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said he “did a happy dance” after Iran was eliminated from the FIFA World Cup. Mullin said he was pleased Iran had left the United States, adding officials revoked the team's visas after its tournament exit. He defended the Trump administration's strict travel restrictions on the Iranian squad, calling them necessary for national security. Mullin claimed Iranian officials tried to bring people with alleged links to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps into the U.S., including individuals presented as media members. Iran had based its World Cup training camp in Mexico before traveling to matches in the United States. Mullin rejected Iranian complaints that the restrictions disrupted the team's preparations. He said Iran required more security coordination than any other delegation at the tournament. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
