US EditionIran silent during national anthem
The team's silent protest during the Asian Cup anthem follows U.S. and Israeli strikes that killed Iran's Supreme Leader, amid domestic criticism of the regime.
- At the Asian Cup on Monday, Iran women's national football team did not sing the national anthem before their 3-0 loss on the Gold Coast, cameras capturing their silence.
- Following weekend attacks attributed to Israel and the United States, Marziyeh Jafari, Iran coach, and players declined to discuss the strikes or Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's reported death.
- In the stands, a section of Iranian supporters waved the pre‑Islamic lion-and-sun flag, contrasting last year's salute to the current Iranian flag during an Asian Cup qualifier.
- At halftime, Iran made three substitutions and adopted a more attacking approach, creating a chance in the 56th minute; the result affects the top six finishers qualifying for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil.
- Against a backdrop of human‑rights criticisms of Iran, South Korea will next face the Philippines while Australia's Matildas play Iran in a double‑header on the Gold Coast on Thursday.
