Did Australia aid US strikes on Iran?

Descrizione:

Australia has given its support to US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, but stopped short of confirming whether or not our shared military facilities were engaged. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said he supported action to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. "The world has long agreed Iran cannot be allowed to get a nuclear weapon, and we support action to prevent that. That is what this is," he said. When asked if our joint Pine Gap facility had been engaged, he said US action was "unilateral". While he declined to comment on the question of Australia’s direct involvement, Mr Albanese pushed for de-escalation of the situation. "We want to see diplomacy, dialogue and de-escalation … Iran had an opportunity to comply, they chose not to and there have been consequences of that," he said.
