World Archery Federation had allocated two quota spots, which cannot be reallocated, to two Iranian archers: Gisa Bybordi and Ramezan Biabani.
Although the team members attended the US Embassy in Armenia and awaited the issuance of visas, they could not depart for the US to attend the World Games slated for July 8 because of the host country's obstruction.
This is the second time that this obstacle has been created by the US for the Iranian archers.
Last year, the US did not grant a visa to the head of Iran’s federation to take part in the World Archery Congress.
