According to Isar News, In a message issued on Monday, Ayatollah Khamenei said the team’s victory, accompanied by nine medals, filled the hearts of the Iranian nation with joy and pride.

“This achievement, accompanied by the winning of nine medals of various colors, much like the recent championship of the U23 Greco-Roman Wrestling team, is the result of the planning, management, and tireless efforts of officials, dedicated coaches, and the country’s strong and valiant young athletes,” the Leader wrote.

He extended his congratulations to the team and the Iranian nation, particularly the country’s champion youth.

It came after the Iranian team won the freestyle team title at the 2026 U23 World Championships in Las Vegas on Sunday, ahead of Russia with four gold medals.
