Iranian Women's Football Star Breaks Asylum Saga in Australia

Iran has released the assets of the women's national football team captain who had sought asylum in Australia, after she reversed her decision and returned home. Zahra Ghanbari was one of six players who had fled the country in the wake of mass protests that erupted after the death of Mahsa Amini, a young woman who died in the custody of Iran's morality police.

The high-profile case had sparked an international dispute, with Australia facing pressure to grant the players asylum. However, Ghanbari ultimately decided to go back to Iran, citing personal reasons and the impact on her family. Her decision to return has now led to the release of her frozen assets, according to Iran's Football Federation.
