President Trump urged Australia to grant asylum to the Iranian women’s soccer team, warning that the players will “likely be killed” if they are forced to return home.   Fears have been mounting for the players’ safety ever since the women were branded “wartime traitors” by Iranian state media for refusing to sing their national anthem ahead of their opening match at the Australian-hosted tournament last week. After being eliminated following a 2-0 loss to the Philippines on Sunday, at least one player was reportedly spotted signing the word “help” through a window as their bus left the stadium, multiple activists claimed.
