Australia granted asylum to five members of the Iranian women’s football team who were visiting the country for a tournament when the Iran war began, a government minister said Tuesday. The announcement followed days of urging by Iranian groups in Australia and by US President Donald Trump for the Australian government to help the women, who drew speculation and news coverage in Australia when players didn't sing the Iranian anthem before their first match.
