Calls for ban on participation
There have been calls to ban Iran from the 2024 Summer Olympics due to human rights allegations. Senator Marsha Blackburn, who has repeated called for a war of aggression against Iran,[4] petitioned IOC President Thomas Bach to ban them from the Paris Games.[5] The IOC expressed serious concerns over the situation of the Iranian athletes and urged the Iranian Olympic Committee to take appropriate action with the highest authorities to protect the athletes and members of the Olympic community from a humanitarian perspective. The IOC said that it reserves the right to take any appropriate action relating to the participation of the Iranian NOC and athletes in regards to the 2024 Summer Olympics.[6][7]
