Nobody on the team appeared to be happy. Given the report of treats of torture hanging over their heads, it\u2019s not hard to understand why it looked like a hostage video.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p>Previously against Wales, Iranian players started\u00a0singing the anthem after refusing to do it game one against England. The players initially didn\u2019t do it as a sign of solidarity with the pro-freedom protesters in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>While the reports about the threat of torturing family members didn\u2019t come out until today, you can bet the regime didn\u2019t treat the initial protest well.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a high chance the team knew of the alleged threats ahead of the Wales game.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div id=\"g1-fluid-wrapper-counter-1\" class=\"g1-fluid-wrapper\" data-g1-fluid-width=\"662\" data-g1-fluid-height=\"372\">\n<div class=\"g1-fluid-wrapper-inner\">\n\t       [embedded content]\n\t       <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The situation with the Iranian World Cup team is an unfortunate reminder of how brutal the regime in Tehran is.<\/p>\n<p>They showed true courage not singing the anthem game one against England. Now, after threats of violence and torture, the players are singing the anthem.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a horrific situation, and it shouldn\u2019t be tolerated.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Iran-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-452796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Iran-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Iran-1-300x200-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Iran-1-768x512-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Iran-1-561x374-1.jpg 561w, https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Iran-1-265x177.jpg 265w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Iran-1-531x354-1.jpg 531w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Iran-1-364x243-1.jpg 364w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Iran-1-728x486-1.jpg 728w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Iran-1-608x406-1.jpg 608w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Iran-1-758x506-1.jpg 758w, https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Iran-1-72x48.jpg 72w, https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Iran-1-144x96.jpg 144w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Iran-1-600x400-1.jpg 600w\" \/><figcaption>Iranian soccer players sing their national anthem after reported threats of torture for family members back home.
