Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Canberra supports the U.S. strike on Iran and calls for de-escalation and diplomacy.
Speaking to reporters in Canberra on Monday, Albanese stated: “The world has long agreed that Iran cannot be allowed to get a nuclear weapon, and we support action to prevent that.”
He stressed that Iran’s enrichment of uranium to 60 percent was clear evidence of a program beyond civilian use.
The International Atomic Energy Agency reported on 31 May that Iran had enough 60% enriched uranium for nine nuclear weapons if further enriched.
