I get your point. I had heard that the UK is panicking because the US has been limiting intel sharing with them.
The 5 managed to escape bringing more media attention to the issue - otherwise Aus was not going to get involved. Those poor girls were signing "help" when they had been loaded on the bus to leave. Trump managed to put the Aussies behind the eight-ball to finally do something. Those gals would have faced certain torture and death if they returned to Iran. Those that did return to Iran, out of fear for their families, will now probably be paraded on Iranian TV and praised as true patriots. Watch for it. At the least, maybe this attention may have saved their lives.
