Iranian Women’s Soccer Team Appears to Cry for Help with Subtle Hand Gesture

Members of the Iranian women’s soccer team appeared to call for help as their bus pulled away from an Australian stadium on Sunday night.

The team grabbed world headlines last week by refusing to sing the Iranian national anthem during its opening game in the Asian Cup tournament. 

Mohammad Reza Shahbazi, a TV presenter who speaks for Iran’s government, chastised the players, according to the Daily Mail.

“Let me just say one thing: traitors during wartime must be dealt with more severely,” he said.
