Trump wrote tonight (March 9): "Australia allowing the Iranian women's football team to be deported back to Iran is a terrible humanitarian mistake, and they are likely to be killed in Iran. Mr. Prime Minister, don't do this, please grant them asylum. If you are unwilling, the United States will accept them. Thank you for paying attention to this matter. President Donald J. Trump"
Comment: The real background of the Iranian women's football team, who previously refused to sing the national anthem at the Asian Cup, were labeled as "traitors during wartime" by the Iranian authorities, their families were threatened, the entire team was under strict surveillance, and even used sign language to send SOS calls for help, Trump's statement seems to stand on the side of humanitarianism to speak up for the players, but in fact it is precisely using this tragedy to create political hype. He is both exaggerating the potential danger of the players returning to their country, and loudly declaring that the United States is willing to accept them, which essentially treats these women in desperate situations as tools for anti-Iran public opinion warfare and domestic political performances.
