A high-ranking official of the Iranian Football Federation (IFF) has been compelled to resign after a Happy New Year greeting was accidentally sent to the Israel Football Association.

The director of the IFF Foreign Relations Department, Mohammad-Mansour Azimzadeh, stepped down after the message, apparently sent on his behalf, reached Israeli officials — a mistake that should have never taken place.

In a statement quoted by the Fars news agency on Saturday, the Iranian Football Federation has said that messages of congratulations are sent each year to all members of FIFA except the Zionist regime, which is why it was removed from the list of addresses for New Year messages.

Mousavi's nephew volunteered to fight in the Iran/Iraq war at age of 15 and he survived the war, but died (got killed) during "peace" time...

This IFF official made an unintentional "mistake" and lost his job.....

Under the rule of IRI, it is easy to lose your life or your job......it is sad!
