The government of Anthony Albanese responds to Trump’s attack on Iran – and the only thing it didn’t say

The Albanian government has issued its first statement with regard to the American bombing on Iran.

US President Donald Trump On Sunday morning, the ‘very successful attack’ announced on three Iranian nuclear sites, Aest, which attracted a clear alliance with Israel.

A spokesperson for the Australian government said only a few hours later that it was clear that Iran’s nuclear and ballistic rocket program was a threat to international peace and security. “

“We note the US President’s statement that it is now time for peace. The security situation in the region is very volatile. We continue to call for de-escalation, dialogue and diplomacy ‘they said.

‘Australians in Israel and Iran and the region must continue to follow the information about the public safety of local authorities, including to protect when needed.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and trade will communicate directly with registered Australians about preparations for assisted departure.”

However, the government did not stop expressing its support for the attack.

The statement was attributed to an ‘Australian spokesperson’, instead of the Prime Minister or Foreign Minister Penny Wong.

Trump revealed that the US had hit the three nuclear sites – Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan – on Sunday via social media.

“Congratulations to our great American warriors,” wrote Trump.

“There is no other army in the world who could have done this.

“This is the time for peace.”

He followed only three hours later with a different statement in all-caps and wrote: “Every retaliation by Iran against the United States of America will be experienced by violence that is much larger than tonight.”

Prior to the announcement of Trump, Australian officials in the political spectrum had expressed their concern about escalating conflicts in the middle East.

At least 430 people were killed and another 3,500 injured in Iran, according to Iranian media outlet Nour new, since the bombing of Israel at 3.30 am on the morning of Friday 13th, local time.

Local Israeli authorities reported 24 civilian deaths and almost 1,300 injuries.

The federal government has repeatedly insisted that Australia is not a central player in the conflict, which was activated in mid -June when the Israeli army launched attacks on Iran in what she claimed was an attempt to praise Iran’s nuclear program.

Australia has deployed defense activa in the region to help with evacuation efforts, in which Minister of Foreign Affairs Penny Wong repeatedly claims that they are not there to fight.

About 2,600 Australians in Iran are looking for assisted departure from the region, in addition to around 1,200 in Israel, because the government encourages travelers not to venture to one of the two nation.

Employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have evacuated the embassy in Tehran and help Australians leave the border in Azerbaijan.

Some Australians have already passed by land transitions, but the government is also ready to help citizens leave as soon as airspace is reopened over both countries.

Shortly after Trump’s announcement, Greens spokesperson for defense and Foreign Affairs demanded David Shoebridge who chose Prime Minister Anthony Albanian ‘to be a force for peace, not for war’ by ending the Aukus pact.

“With the American bombing of President Trump on Iran who clearly shows that he is not a friend of peace and the Albanian government of Australia has to distance themselves from these actions,” he said.

‘That means that the termination of the Aukus agreement, the prohibition of the use of American military bases in Australia, including pine gap, to be used in this conflict, and clearly oppose military action by the US and Israel to Iran.

“Like every war, the costs will not be borne by governments, but by people, families and communities that have to do with destruction.”

Greens leader Larissa Waters called on Albanians in the same way to leave Aukus, and claims that Australia must have an ‘independent foreign policy’.

“This is a frightening and catastrophic escalation by the US, and Australia has to condemn it,” she said.

‘From Iraq to Afghanistan we have seen Australia follow the US in devastating and brutal wars that have caused unprecedented damage to the population of the Middle East.

‘We know that you can’t bomb your way to Peace.

“Only when countries such as Australia reduce and stick to principles and international law and support them with material actions will there be a chance of peace.”

Albanians has not yet made a direct statement about the American attack on Iran.

The news arrives a week after the American leader agreed the Prime Minister during the G7 Leaders Summit in Canada.

The couple would meet on Tuesday, but the president left early and quoted urgent developments in the middle.

It was the newest agitation in a series of swipes between the American and Australian leaders – including the spokespersons of Trump who repeatedly demanded Australia from his defense, an American assessment of the Aukus Submarine deal and the imposition of trade rates.

Albanian apparently focused on European leaders and wrote on Wednesday: ‘Australia deepens our trade, safety and defense ties with the EU.

‘Today we agreed to negotiate a security and defense partnership.

‘This will be a framework for our current and growing cooperation in areas such as the defense industry, cyber and the fight against terrorism.

“And we are resuming negotiations for a free trade agreement, which will mean more jobs in Australia and Europe.”

Albanian seemed to keep the hope that Trump would attend the upcoming NATO in the Netherlands, which starts on Tuesday.

However, the escalating conflict in Israel-Iran made it increasingly unlikely that the president would attend.

So Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles will be present at his place.

The announcement was made, despite the encouragement of French President Emmanuel Macron to Albanese, he attends NATO meeting and an invitation from British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to make a pit stop in the 10 Downing Street in London.

It is now unclear when Albanian and Trump will meet.
