TEHRAN, July 14 (Reuters) - Iran's basketball team have departed for a tournament in the United States, an official said on Monday, for a rare sporting encounter between the arch-foes.

Mohammad Mashoun, head of Iran's basketball federation, said the Asian champions had been invited to a tournament in the state of Utah by the U.S. National Basketball Association (NBA), ahead of next month's Olympic Games in Beijing.

"After many requests made to Iran by the U.S. basketball federation and after a review of the request by Iranian officials we accepted this invitation," Mashoun told Reuters, without giving details on which U.S. teams they would play.

Mashoun, declining to comment on any link between the event and politics, said Iran flew to Dubai on Sunday and planned to continue to the United States later on Monday where they would stay until July 22.

"I'm not a politician. Please don't ask me these kinds of questions," he said when asked about any political significance of an Iranian team competing in a country that Iran's clerical leaders see as "the Great Satan".

Even though the countries have been bitter foes since Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution, which was followed by the United States cutting diplomatic ties in 1980, they have at times put aside their differences in the arena of sports.

About 20 American athletes and their coaches came to Iran for a wrestling competition in January 2007.
In April, the U.S. State Department said Iranian wrestlers had been invited to train in the United States for the Olympics as part of efforts to increase ties with the Iranian people.

Basketball is one of Iran's most popular sports and several former NBA players have in recent years played for teams in the Iranian league. (Additional reporting Parisa Hafezi; Writing by Fredrik Dahl; Editing by Ken Ferris)
