Show Notes
Zahra Ghanbari, captain of Irans womens soccer team, has withdrawn her asylum claim and returned home from Australia, following the Asian Cup tournament. Despite government offers of full protection and support, five team members have chosen to leave, citing heavy pressure from family and events in Iran. The remaining players departed under police escort, with concerns for their safety upon return, as Iranian state media branded them traitors for skipping the national anthem.
