A fifth member of the Iranian women's football team has withdrawn their application for asylum in Australia.
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke released a statement on Sunday after three members of the team changed their minds - and decided to join the other team members and go back to IRan.
In a statement, Mr Burke says the team's players were given every opportunity to make a choice on the Australian humanitarian visa, but he said these "were incredibly difficult decisions".
Iran has warned countries not to get involved in the war with the United States and Israel, after US President Donald Trump urged other countries to escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz.
Mr Trump told NBC News he's not ready to make a deal with Iran to end the war - warning instead of more strikes on Kharg Island, a key Iranian oil export hub.
Karg Island is thought to handle up to 90 per cent of Iran's oil exports, which Mr Trump claims the US has 'totally demolished'.
A former Iranian military commander Hossein Kanani Moghaddam says strikes on the facility will have little effect on Iran's export capacity.
"As you know, these measures date back many years; after the Iran-Iraq war, we took steps to reduce our dependence on the Strait of Hormuz and on exporting oil from the islands. To achieve this, we built oil pipelines in different regions so that we can export oil easily by land and sea without relying on the Strait of Hormuz. Even if they strike, as they have already done by attacking Abu Musa, they will gain nothing from it. On the contrary, it will intensify the oil crisis."
US Energy Secretary Chris Wright says the war against Iran is likely to end in a few weeks - and he expects that will be when very high oil prices go down.
"Americans are feeling it right now. Americans will feel it for a few more weeks. But at the end, we will have removed the greatest risk to global energy supplies. We'll go to a world more abundant in energy, more affordable in energy and less risky for American soldiers and commerce in the Middle East."
The financial regulator ASIC says two thirds of young Australians are turning to social media for financial advice.
The findings are contained in a survey of more than 1200 young people aged between 18 and 28.
52 per cent, said they trusted financial influencers - and 64 per cent put trusted AI platforms.
ASIC Commissioner Alan Kirkland says financial advice on social media and using AI is risky.
In football,
The Matildas are preparing to take on China in the Women's Asian Cup on Tuesday after defeating North Korea in their quarterfinal clash last Friday.
They secured the hard fought 2-1 win in front of 16,466 fans in Perth.
Defender Elie Carpenter says the Matildas are training hard for their next game.
"Yeah, we were watching yesterday. You know, China are a strong team. I think it's going to be a tough game. I think any game in the Asian Cup here has been tough. We obviously know their coach. We've been coached by them at the World Cup in France. Yeah, I think for us, we just need to focus on ourselves and bring our game plan, and anything can happen in this tournament, you've seen that obviously they went to extra time yesterday as well. But, you know, we're not going to think they're going to be tired, we we're not even going to think that, we have to be prepared in ourselves and focused for the game."
