About the episode

Three Iranian women's football players have decided to return home after their delegation sought asylum in Australia following refusal to sing the national anthem during the Asian Cup. Security concerns mount as Donald Trump considers military action in Iran, with USS Tripoli and 2,000 Marines potentially deploying to the Strait of Hormuz amid escalating tensions. Security experts warn that Australian business executives and travellers could become targets for kidnapping or cyber attacks as Iran seeks alternative funding methods through proxy groups.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
