The Iranian women's soccer team remained silent during the national anthem at their Asian Cup match, prompting Iran's state TV to label them wartime traitors who must be dealt with severely upon return. Hundreds of protesters stormed the team bus outside Cbus Super Stadium on the Gold Coast, chanting 'save our girls' and throwing themselves at the vehicle to prevent it leaving. Video footage appears to show players making an international distress signal from inside the bus, while activists pressure the Albanese government to grant the team asylum.
