Just hours after United States President Donald Trump threatened to continue to bomb the country, Iran snatched a remarkable point with a goalless draw against Belgium at the World Cup

Iran continued their impressive showing at the World Cup amid heightening tensions that left Donald Trump warning that he would “blow the s---“ out of the country.

On Sunday, Iran kept Belgium out and secured a goalless draw at SoFi Stadium after protests took place outside the Los Angeles venue. The Asian side already had a point on the board after tying with New Zealand in a thriller earlier this week, but the result means Iran have an opportunity to win Group G.

If Iran can secure the win over Egypt, who drew with Belgium and face New Zealand, they could win the group and advance to the knockout stages for the first time in World Cup history. Their fine performance comes just hours after Trump warned the country could face further bombings.

Due to the geopolitical climate, Iran has faced a long and complicated road to the World Cup. While the U.S. and Israel continue to clash with the country, doubts arose regarding the team’s safety in the United States as Trump stoked concerns.

The 80-year-old rekindled concerns on Sunday. He told FOX News that the United States could take the Strait of Hormuz, saying: “We may take over the Strait, if we have to. I’ll blow the s--- out of them.”

Iran took to the field shortly after the U.S. president's comments, and they played out a surprisingly thrilling game considering it ended in a goalless draw. Rudi Garcia's Belgium are under pressure entering the final game as the Red Devils continue to underwhelm, but Iran were excellent in defence.

Ahead of kickoff, Iran had their national anthem loudly booed once again after protests took place outside SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. In the game, Iran threatened Thibaut Courtois' goal on more than one occasion, with Mehdi Taremi even putting the ball in the back of the net following a fine free kick routine.

However, VAR ruled out the goal due to offside and encroachment.
