Whatever happened in 1979 of before, now we are in 2017 and the world is different. Israel&netanyahoo are like a dog who found a bone (Iran) and won't let it go away whatever Iran will do. Iran is so useful for them to hide what they do with palestinians from international comunauty, to get billions of dollars of investsments and best of the best military equipments+ sanctions against the country of the region that can challenge them in every domain. They won't let Iran enemy status go away so easily.
Even if IR wake up one day and declare its readyness to have best friend relation with Israel, you can be sure Netanyahoo will ask excessive demands to make it not happen

Wrong, Israel would rather be in better terms but stupid IR doesn't want it. Take this anti-Israel propaganda nonsense to the general forums. Idiot IR is at fault for the whole Hajsafi and Shojaei case. Nobody treats Israel as much of an enemy as Iran does even though Iran is far less developed than they are.

I also heard there's no official written rule on this topic.

به گزارش خبرگزاری*ها فدراسیون فوتبال ایران به فیفا اطلاع می*دهد که مسعود شجاعی و احسان حاج*صفی که در بازی باشگاهی مقابل یک تیم اسرائیلی حاضر شده بودند، از حضور در تیم ملی ایران محروم نمی*شوند.

Lolilol. I was still talking about the previous post/source

And you really think Queiroz will be diplomatic to keep his job? Were you in coma during the last 5 years?

The rude and condescending tone was unexpected coming from someone like you considering I've always thought you were a voice of reason on this site.

First of all, I was just examining the situation and didn't really make any definitive statements and was just speculating.

Secondly, when was the last time CQ took a stance of this magnitude ever? a stance against long-standing political issues in Iran??? Name one please since you are the conscious one and I have been in a coma!

His digs have usually been thoughtful with the intention of bringing about improvements for TM and the overall sports culture in Iran, and always aimed directly at IFF and sports figures in Iran.

He's never overstepped his boundries and directly gone at the regime because he is smarter than that and also because he is not trying to be our Che Guevara even if Martin-Reza wants him to! He is a football coach!! That's why I said "He will continue to work his magic behind the scenes!"

[Martin-Reza]

I didn't mean to insult you my friend, I just wanted to point out Queiroz hasn't been shy to go for confrontation and to put his job at stake to get what he thinks he needs to succeed. And I am sure Shojaei and Hajsafi are central figures in his plans.

No worries. And I completely agree that he doesn't shy away from confrontation. But he is also smart enough to pick and choose his battles, and knows when he needs to speak up.

As I said I wouldn't be surprised if Masoud and Hajsafi consulted with him prior to suiting up to play.

CQ’s contract is with IFF. Although for security and safety reasons at his Request SM provided some assurances clause in his contract nevertheless Government is not his boss but IFF is.
Within that score ( contract) he may feel has rights to criticize IFF officials and related individuals if there is attempts to jeopardize his works. There is a certain clause in his contract preventing him from involvement in politics and domestic affairs.
It is not in his scope of work or contract to question or criticize policies of Government. He may choose to express an opinion as individual like everyone else but not as a coach while is bound by contract without violating terms of a contract.
He has a satisfactory meeting of President a few months ago and he has walked a fine line getting involved in anything beyond sports.
In less than two weeks he will submit his list to The IFF and then the ball is in IFF court. The coach will not decide who will represent Iran, IFF will decide, that is according to standards and regulations of IFF.
Although there may be possibilities of unpleasant scenarios, the cool heads will prevail and there will be no deadlock ahead.
