Australia cannot be dragged into another brutal US war in the Middle East. President Trump’s claim to have bombed nuclear sites in Iran is a blatant breach of international law.
This is a terrifying and catastrophic escalation by the USA, and Australia must condemn it.
From Iraq to Afghanistan, we have seen Australia follow the US into devastating and brutal wars that have done untold damage to the people of the Middle East. We know that you cannot bomb your way to peace.
Australia must take this opportunity to get out of AUKUS, have an independent foreign policy that centres peace, and must not allow the use of Australian US military bases like Pine Gap in this conflict.
