President Donald Trump lauded Australia for handling asylum for members of the Iranian Women’s soccer team after he called on the country to do so earlier Monday.
Trump took to Truth Social to announce he had spoken with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese about the matter because several of the team’s members refused to sing along to the Iranian national anthem ahead of its first game in the Women’s Asian Cup.
The refusal to sing along runs afoul of the rules Iran sets for its players and comes amid the United States’s Operation Epic Fury campaign, which has seen the decimation of the Iranian regime’s leadership since the beginning of the month.
As Breitbart News reported, Iranian authorities reportedly threatened the women, and all players sang the national anthem before their second and third matches. They also delivered a military salute before the third competition.
“I just spoke to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, of Australia, concerning the Iranian National Women’s Soccer Team. He’s on it!” Trump said Monday.
