Several members of group of Iran women's soccer team that defected to Australia last week are returning to Iran after their families disappeared. The New York Post reported:
Three of the six Iranian women’s soccer players who accepted asylum in Australia are returning to Iran, according to Tina Kordrostami, a councilor for the Australian City of Ryde. Kordrostami told Fox News Channel’s “Fox Report With Jon Scott” Saturday that the three players are returning, calling it an “upsetting update,” but she could not discuss exact reasons why. “They are heavily intimidated and being communicated to directly by the regime,” Kordrostami said. When asked if the players are being threatened, Kordrostami said, “I don’t think that, I know that. “I know families have even been detained. I know family members are missing. One thing I really would like for people in the West to understand is that Iranians within the country have in many ways given up on the West, and they are only relying on one another to survive this regime. “So, when we do offer them a way out, it’s not often that easy for them to understand that it is in fact a way out. They are more so used to relying on one another and this is survival for them.” Kordrostami added that the women who return face potential severe consequences. “We are very worried about them. We know for a fact that they will not be safe. I’ve mentioned this before. When you do break a contract as an athlete in Iran, you can face the death penalty. Rest of article.
Kingfish note: Those poor souls. Who knows what hell awaits them in Iran. Perhaps the Iranians and Chinese can swap notes on how to treat dissidents. A regime that killed nearly 40,000 of its own people last night because they dared protest in the streets. Read this Iran International report on what happened to two nurses who dared to treat those wounded in the protests:
Two nurses working in a Tehran hospital who treated wounded protesters during the nationwide uprising in January were tortured and repeatedly gang raped by security agents while in custody, people familiar with the matter told Iran International.
The sources, based in Tehran, requested anonymity for fear of retribution.
The nurses were among medical staff at Tehran’s Rajaei Cardiovascular, Medical and Research Center who treated people injured during the massive protests that erupted in late December and spread into early January, drawing millions into the streets and prompting a crackdown that led to mass arrests and at least 36,500 deaths.
Sexual torture and severe injuries
One of the nurses, a 33-year-old woman, was repeatedly abused and raped during detention, according to informed sources who spoke with Iran International.
Sources said agents subjected her to various forms of sexual torture.
In addition to assaulting her with their fingers, agents raped her in groups of two or three over consecutive days.
They also raped her by inserting a foreign object into her anus, causing severe bleeding, the sources said.
In another form of torture, agents took her along with dozens of other detained women to an elevated place and then pushed them all into a small pit-like space, the sources said.
The injuries inflicted on the nurse were so severe that doctors had to remove part of her intestine, and she now lives with a colostomy bag, one source said.
Her uterus also suffered severe tearing and she has so far undergone two surgeries. Doctors may ultimately be forced to remove her uterus completely, the source added.
Before she was transferred to the operating room, the nurse repeatedly asked doctors not to allow her to survive and said that if she came out of surgery alive, she would take her own life, the source said....
The hospital, located in the Vali-Asr area of Tehran, faced a wave of wounded people late on the evening of Jan. 8.
From around 9 p.m. onward, large numbers of individuals injured by live ammunition were transferred to the hospital.
Agents involved in the crackdown on protesters told hospital staff not to provide medical treatment to the wounded, according to sources.
Among the 27 personnel and nurses present in the ward that night, 14 refused the order and attempted to treat the injured.
Sources said two male nurses among them were arrested after protesting the situation and expressing sympathy with the wounded.... Article
By the way, where is Megan Rapinoe in all this? The "activist" who looks for every chance to criticize America somehow is silent where her fellow soccer players are concerned.

Bringing the truth to the light…
Unfortunately it is obvious that the regime would at a minimum torture their families, just like the N. Koreans and China do.
And all my liberal and democrat friends on social media will glance over this and call Trump's war in Iran a distraction from the Epstein files. Standing with Iran is not in line with women's rights they all talk so much about. The silence is deafening just because they don't like the current president.
TDS has spread more than covid.
During WWII it took what could be described as total war…..with hundreds of thousands of Japanese deaths via firebombing then another 200,000 or so deaths via the atomic bombs…..before Japan’s evil Emperor finally surrendered.
We need to continue killing the Twelver Shi’a Muslims that have been terrorizing Iranians since the Democrat Jimmy Carter days almost 50 years ago. It is the ONLY thing they will understand.
Well...since we know China and North Korea have brutal regimes, why aren't we changing theirs and all the others in the world?
I suspect Afghanistan is again a horrible place for women. We might benefit from the historical fact that misogyny combined with religion can become extremely brutal for women.
more Mickey Mouse history.
Japan finally surrendered to us when the Soviets began building up to invade Hokkaido. The Emperor found surrendering to capitalists to be far more preferable to a nation that killed their Czar and his children.
It’s all true. We know it’s true because it’s coming from the “intelligence” community.
9:41 am we did that already. That's how those Americans became hostages and we tried to free them and failed, remember? Afghanistan was a double whammy as Russia had tried first to free Afghanistan from a brutal religious regime and introduce communism. These neanderthal males don't want women to have any power.
Proof that half their population are HARDLINERS. All the bombing in the world will not change this backwards society. And their youth are looking like they may be to soft ......to liberal to at least try and overthrow their leadership. Withdraw or turn it all to glass ! we are already tired of 3.59 fuel and need to win in 2028.
March 17, 2026 at 9:48 AM; maybe we aren't bombing china and north korea, despite all their human rights violations, because they have nuclear weapons. which is, again, a major reason why we are bombing iran now.
They did. And the Mullahs killed 36,000 of them in two days. They have no weapons or means of fighting back other than marching.
Like was done in Latin America and Afghanistan, the CIA needs to arm them.
I did not watch the Liberal circle-jerk called The Oscars.
Can anyone confirm if Michael B Jordan spoke out about the plight of these brave soccer gals? Did Sean Penn demand justice for them?
I am not cheering. But @KF be honest. The IRGC correctly knew that mossad has infiltrated their government. Mossad then tried their very best to foment a color revolution. Unforunately for Mossad and their would-be insurgency, it failed. They took the risk and exposed themselves and paid the price. Unfortunately, the same powers convinced this soccer team they could protect them and their families if they betrayed their country. They unfortunately will pay the price as well. It is a sad situation we wouldn’t be in if Trunp had the courage to say no to Netanyahu like the rest of the world has. But he most likely cant say no to him.
We arent’t bombing China or North Korea because the only time the PLA directly met the United States on the battlefield was in North Korea and they pushed us so hard and so fast that we signed an armistice with them at the 38th Parallel.
So, 'The East' is depending on 'The West' to be their Mighty Mouse and rush in and save the day, every day in every way.
You can bet your ass neither these three nor their families will survive.
"since we know China and North Korea have brutal regimes, why aren't we changing theirs and all the others in the world?"
The Iranian regime is the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world. That is the difference.
Do you really want suicide bombers to have a nuclear weapon?
Libs in America will turn a blind eye to this heinous conduct.
Libsin America will turn a blind eye to this heinous conduct
"What do we want? Justice. When do we want it? Now!" Nope, didn't hear that.
In a massive break from President Trump and MAGA, Joe Kent, Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), announced his immediate resignation on Tuesday, citing irreconcilable opposition to the ongoing U.S. military operations against Iran.
Kent declared he could not “in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran,” stating unequivocally that Iran posed “no imminent threat to our nation” and that the conflict was initiated “due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”
In other news, Trump now says he doesn’t need NATO’s help to reopen the Straight of Hormuz.
However, US Navy vessels remail a safe distance from the Straight, and show no signs of attempting to traverse it.
10;44. Thank God Trump invaded Iran then. On to Jina
War in the East is like striking oil for the DC suits and ties. They feed us more bs justifications, like "spreading freedom" or "women's rights" as brown people on the other side of the planet blow up and explode, courtesy of our tax-payer-funded ordinance... Different kind of greed right there!
Please substitute 'always do' for 'will'.
March 17 @ 11:48 - A question for you...
What were all these 'brown people' doing on October 7, 2023? Just wanted your take, assuming you have time and aren't marching.
@9:50AM gives us even more leftist “the US has never accomplished anything” propaganda. And let us take a guess @9:50, according to YOU, the Soviets single handily caused Germany’s surrender as well, right?
Based on @9:50’s version of history…..we should just turn everything over to Israel and let them kill all of the Twelver Shi’a Muslim terrorists…..because the US is incapable of accomplishing anything.
Liberal communists in this country always turn a blind eye to heinous conduct, wherever it occurs. Ask them why and you get the 'doe in the headlight' response. There!
Nuclear blasts are overrated. Just break out your old covid masks/gloves and you are good to go.
You are simple speculating. If the IRGC knew they had Israeli spies, why did they have a breakfast meet with the supreme leader, and the top third of leadership in one location? This allowed for the death of most of those present.
He should have never been confirmed. He is a far far right conspiracy theorist. Proud Boy member, etc.
This is just so sad. Those poor athletes and their families.
Yeah poor us too. Not a single other country on the planet is standing with the Zionists. Our government is doing this without our consent. The hyperinflation this act of aggression is causing will probably just increase antisemitism.
Operation Epic fail.
5:48, calm down. You should have more faith in our country. I understand you are sad about Iran, it will be ok.
@ 5:48 - Shouldn't you be in Minneapolis toting the governor's piss bucket?
Nice try sametard @6:08 and @6:20
$4 a gallon gas incoming and the “I did that” stickers with Trump are already appearing on gas pumps.
Nothing to do with “faith in our country” since the majority of Americans oppose this.
You mean the governor who defeated Trump and got ICE out of Minneapolis?
Before Trump took office in Jan 2025 starter homes costs in Madison and Rankin counties were already 50% to 75% higher than they were BEFORE Biden took office….. BUT NOW and the leftist Democrats are worried about inflation. Yea right.
@5:48 here
Not a leftist or a democrat. Wrong again Mickey Mouse. Two 🍟 short of a happy meal!
The antisemite is covering the board with his sewer droppings, and Trump hate. They must be in Iran, and getting paid by the post.
There isn’t a single city, state, or nation on this planet that isn’t suffering. This fuckup wasn’t just contained to the Persian Gulf. Your boy screwed up bigly. And the two names the entire planet is blaming for all of this is Donald Trump and America.
I hope that Jesus will be with that women’s soccer team.
@ 8:45PM, suffering is a part of life. Lots of Americans suffered so those now entitled Europeans would not be under Nazi rule today.
Lots of people suffered when oil doubled to almost $40 a barrel during the 1979-1980 Iranian Revolution when Khomeini returned and took control of Iran.
The fact that a Twelver Shi’a Muslim cult can disrupt or threaten up to 20% of global oil supply via the Strait of Hormuz, is hopefully about to be no more. And yea, for all of you in the everybody got a trophy and life is always supposed to be fun generations, you may have to skip a latte or two, i.e., there may be some suffering.
@6:50
why do old people hate youth so much that you want to send young people to die in pointless forever wars?
imagine if, instead of obeying jared Kushner and Netanyahu, Trump just focused on the will of the American people? That will is to fix the economy and fix the homeland instead of yet another Zionist “forever war” for Israel. If he just focused on those promises then we wouldn’t be in this economic situation. He cant even define the threat. Even Bush spent a year trying to convince the natioj and the world of a real threat. Trunpnis basically saying “Jared and Bibi said so”
And you are delusional if you think any of this will be over “soon” because the only way that will happen is if Trump just declares “Mission Accomplished” and we tuck tail and run. But he wont because then Iran will still be a threat to Israel. There has been no victory in Iraq or Afghanistan. The generation you are mocking is the generation that fought in those earlier pointless wars. The generation of JD Vance and Joe Kent.
Twelver Shia Islam? What about Messianic Lubavitchers?
You want to know who is running this “war”? Trump and Jared are Messianic Lubavitchers. They believe Rabbi Meachem Mendel Shneerson was the Messiah and they are working for his return. Not Jesus Christ. The messiah is a dude born in…. get this… Ukraine…
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, known to followers as the Lubavitcher Rebbe or simply the Rebbe, was the seventh and last leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic dynasty. Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, known to followers as the Lubavitcher Rebbe or simply the Rebbe, was the seventh and last leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidic dynasty. Born on April 18, 1902, in Nikolayev, Ukraine, he became a central figure in 20th-century Judaism. The Rebbe is considered by many of his followers to be the Messiah, a belief that intensified in his later years despite his own ambiguous stance on the matter. He was widely admired for his intellectual brilliance, multilingual abilities, and profound personal connection with individuals during private meetings known as yechidus.
He passed away on June 12, 1994, and is buried in Queens, New York, where his grave remains a site of pilgrimage for thousands. In recognition of his contributions, he was posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1994 and his birthday is commemorated as Education and Sharing Day in the United States.
So on one side you have the Shia council of twelve and on the other you have Chabad-Lubavitch running the White House.
American Christian Zionists are hoping this will usher the return of Jesus and American Chabad-Lubavitch Zionists are hoping for the return of Rebbe Schneerson.
And Trump converted prior to 2003 because he references his Chabad-Lubavitch Kabbalah Teacher on page 188 of his 2003 Book Trump The Way To The Top
6:37, got to keep the lies up to feed your idiotic narrative. I think there is more Democrat cool-aid left, drink up.
You are wrong, Donald John Trump never converted to Judaism. He was raised Presbyterian, but now identifies as non-denomination Christian. The book you reference is a list, by Trump, of the best business advice he ever received. None of the quotes, in the book where the quotes of Trump.
In your zeal to attack, demean, or libel Donald Trump did you think you had something and run with it? Or did you, as you have done here before, simply lie concerning your post?
Is the antisemite aware that we don't have the military draft in America, that our military is all volunteer? When you volunteer for the military, fighting wars, is what they do. So, no one is sending anyone that didn't volunteer to go.

As for me, I lean left, and have never voted for Trump, nor will I ever. But I support his actions on Iran, which is actually a war on terrorism.
The idea Trump, instead of Iran, is responsible for the Revolutionary Guard's attacks on neighboring countries is like a woman-beater telling the battered woman "look at what you made me do."
March 18, 2026 at 9:14 AM, you brought up Joe Kent. There are those that use his departure as a sign of Trump being wrong on Iran. What is not common knowledge, but is true nevertheless, is that Joe Kent had been caught leaking information. Trump, and Tulsi Gabbard, allowed him to save face by resigning, yet, he didn't have the dignity to show his appreciation for the grace he was given.
March 17, 2026 at 6:37 PM, you mean tampon Tim, that ran as cackling Kamala Harris' sidekick, that Trump beat like a rented mule in the presidential election? That tampon Tim?
At one time, Joe Kent was apparently a solid guy.
But after his first wife was killed by terrorists, and he got into politics, he turned into a Peter Thiel libertarian, white-power, wingnut stooge.
@9:14AM’s question “why do old people hate youth so much that you want to send young people to die in pointless forever wars?” would be a slam dunk winner of the Naïve award if there was one, since loving young people too much would be a much more accurate assessment.
@9:14, stop being a disciple of whoever it is you are listening to and learn to think for yourself. Here are some examples for you to consider:
When Joe Biden provided massive financial and military aid, intelligence sharing, weapons, training, etc. to Ukraine, I kept my mouth shut, even though I despise him;
When Barack Obama authorized airstrikes against Syria, I kept my mouth shut, even though I despise him;
When it became clear that George W Bush, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, et al had lied to us about WMD’s, and had sent our men and women to die and be maimed for that lie, I turned on them hard, even though I had voted for Bush/Cheney.
When Bill Clinton’s military conflicts occurred in Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Sudan & Liberia, I kept my mouth shut, even though I despise him.
You know why I kept my mouth shut @9:14? Because just like you, I do not have all of the information required to make an intelligent assessment of what should and/or should not be done militarily. AND - when it comes to our country’s national security, politics should be off of the table, and we should respect the office of the President until we have certainly that we should do otherwise.
People like you, RINO’s like Bill Crawford and almost all Democrats on the other hand, look for reasons to criticize Trump; you because you are an antisemite hater of Jews and this conflict benefits Israel, and RINO’s like Bill Crawford and almost all Democrats just plain hate Trump with a passion (TDS).
When what you all should really be doing is supporting our country and our president until you know for sure there is/are reasons to no longer do so, and until then, keep your mouths shut.
We really need a like button.
For those that say Trump has/is losing support;
