Iran Star Reassures Inter Milan Teammates ‘I’m Alright’ – In Regular Contact As Israeli Strikes Prevent Travel | OneFootball

Mehdi Taremi has reassured his Inter Milan teammates that he is “alright” as Israeli strikes against Iran continue and he’s unable to travel.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the 32-year-old is in regular contact with the Nerazzurri.

Inter striker Mehdi Taremi is currently stuck in the Iranian capital of Tehran.

The 32-year-old had been scheduled to leave Iran to join the Inter squad in the US for the Club World Cup last week. In fact, he had been at the airport waiting for his flight.

However, dramatic unforeseen developments have changed things.

Last week, Israel began a campaign of airstrikes throughout Iran. Meanwhile, Iran began retaliating with strikes of their own against Israel.

Not surprisingly, this escalating conflict has grounded all flights to and from Iran.

Naturally, the situation is a stressful and highly uncertain one for striker Mehdi Taremi.

The Gazzetta report that the Inter striker has not left his dwelling since returning from the airport from his unsuccessful flight last week.

Taremi’s priority is his family, who are currently in a different location.

However, reports the Gazzetta, despite the difficult situation, Mehdi Taremi remains in good spirits.

The newspaper reports that the 32-year-old is still in contact with his Inter teammates. He is posting regularly in the team group chat.

And the message from Taremi is still the same: “I’m alright” in spite of the situation.

Meanwhile, reports the Gazzetta, Taremi is messaging with Inter team manager Matteo Tagliacarne every 3-4 hours regarding his situation.

There is still no clear answer regarding when the 32-year-old will be able to leave his home country of Iran. But as of now, he is safe and waiting for further developments.
