This marks the second time Iran has lifted the coveted world championship title, reaffirming its dominance in international weightlifting.
Iranian lifters delivered impressive performances across multiple weight categories, securing a total of seven medals, including one gold, four silvers, and one bronze, contributing to the team’s title win.
In the 96 kg category, Alireza Moeini led the charge with a record-breaking gold medal in the clean and jerk and a silver in the total lift, demonstrating both power and technical prowess.
Ali Alipour, competing in the 89 kg division, earned a silver medal in the snatch, adding valuable points to the team tally.
In the 102 kg class, Alireza Nasiri showed remarkable consistency, winning two silver medals — one in the snatch and another in the total.
In the +109 kg super-heavyweight category, Olympic medalist Ali Davoudi showcased his strength and experience, lifting his way to a bronze medal, the last team medal.
North Korea and the United States finished second and third, respectively.
The Iranian team was led by head coach and former Olympic and world gold medalist Behdad Salimi.
Iran won its first world championship title at the 2017 World Championships in Anaheim, US, when legendary lifters such as Sohrab Moradi, Kianoush Rostami, Behdad Salimi, Saeed Ali Hosseini, Seyed Ayoub Mousavi, and Ali Hashemi were part of the team.
