Iran government supporters confront protesters at World Cup

 Conflict arrises at Iran's World Cup match against Wales. However, the tension was not caused between opposing team's fans. Iranian fans experienced conflict between each other as spectators in favor of the Iranian government clash with spectators that are not in favor of the Iranian government. Fans saying "Women, Life, Freedom!" caused a dispute with others who chanted "The Islamic Republic!" There were no serious outbursts, but this interaction is a direct display of the internal conflict that is taking place in Iran at this time.
