The celebration triggered significant reaction online, with some supporters and commentators calling on FIFA to review the incident during a tournament already marked by political tensions involving Iran. However, Mohebi emphasized that it was just a celebration.
He said: “I wanted to say thank you to all Iranians who live in Los Angeles, they make a great atmosphere. The celebration came to mind, and I do this (gestures) for all of the fans, just a celebration, you know.”
