Australia backs action to prevent nukes

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has backed US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, while also urging a de-escalation of the conflict in the Middle East. In his first public comments since the US launched strikes on the facilities in Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz, Albanese said a larger war must be avoided.

Nations react to US strikes on Iran

Several close US allies urged a return to the negotiating table in the wake of American strikes on Iran that fuelled fears of a wider conflict, while noting the threat posed by Tehran’s nuclear program. Some countries and groups in the region, including those that support Iran, condemned the move while also urging de-escalation. US President Donald Trump had said Thursday that he would decide within two weeks whether to get involved in Israel’s war with Tehran. In the end, it took just days. Washington hit three Iranian nuclear sites early Sunday.

US strikes: World awaits Iran response

Iran and Israel have traded air and missile strikes as the world braces for Tehran’s response to the US attack on its nuclear sites, while US President Donald Trump has raised the idea of regime change in the Islamic republic. A day after the US sent 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs crashing into the mountain above Iran’s Fordow nuclear site, Tehran vowed to defend itself at all costs, American leaders urged Tehran to stand down, and pockets of anti-war protesters began taking to the streets in US cities.
