Iran didn't participate in most of the big events in the 80's and early 90's. If they did they only sent a couple of people. The Iranian Revolution happened in 1979 and then they were fighting a war with Iraq from 1980-1988. Lots of great wrestlers were fighting (and died) in the war and the country was near backrupt.

1979: Iran did not participate in World Championship because of Revolution

1980: Iran Boycotted the Moscow Olympics because of Soviet invasion of Afghanistan

1983:Iran braught back all the wrestlers from Kiev (USSR) because an iranian Greco Roman
wresler, took on an Israeli wrestler (and beat him).

1984: Iran boycotted the US Olympics


I'd like to know the official reason(s) behind Iran's 1986 and 1987 absence from World Wrestling competitions.
