Iran players sing national anthem | pro-government supporters confront protesters at World Cup

As Heather Wright reports from Qatar, Iran's soccer team ended its silent protest and sang the national anthem before their match against Wales. The players did not sing the anthem in their opening game in apparent support of protesters back home.

Also, tensions ran high outside the stadium before the game as fans supporting the Iranian government harassed anti-government protesters, and stadium security seized flags, T-shirts and other items expressing support for the movement that has gripped the Islamic Republic.
