About this episode
Anthony Albanese has thrown his support behind the Trump Administration's strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, suggesting Australia supports actions that prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
But the Prime Minister has also underlined the need for diplomacy, stating that Australia doesn't want to see "escalation and a full-scale war."
The Opposition has been critical of what they say is the Albanese Government's slow response on the strikes, as concerns rise the Israel-Iran war could escalate to a wider global conflict.
Patricia Karvelas and Raf Epstein break it all down on Politics Now.
