Australian PM says Iran war goals met, asks what more is left to achieve
He said US-Israeli strikes have degraded Iran’s military and warned the conflict could deepen global economic damage and energy insecurity.
- On Thursday, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the war's original objectives were met, calling for de-escalation after US-Israeli attacks degraded Iran's air force, navy, and military industrial base.
- President Donald Trump countered on Thursday, vowing two to three more weeks of "extremely hard" strikes against Iran, claiming core strategic objectives are "nearing completion" in a 19-minute televised speech.
- Defence Minister Richard Marles confirmed Canberra is negotiating with Britain and France to open the Strait of Hormuz, through which around 25 per cent of the world's oil passes.
- To mitigate soaring fuel costs, the government cut fuel excise by half for three months and Albanese pledged $680 million in loans to businesses struggling amid the oil crisis.
- Opposition leader Angus Taylor criticized the Prime Minister's national address on Thursday, alleging it lacked clarity and left Australians confused about the government's fuel response.
