Protesters block bus believed to be carrying Iran women’s soccer team in Australia (Video)

Australia granted asylum to five members of the Iranian womens soccer team who were visiting the country for a tournament when the Iran war began, a government minister said Tuesday. It was not clear when the remaining players were due to leave Australia, but a commotion erupted Tuesday afternoon outside the team's hotel as members of the public kneeled or lay down in front of a white bus with tinted windows believed to be carrying the rest of the team. The protesters tried to prevent the bus from departing the hotel, but it was delayed by only minutes.
