Australians Safe After Iran Drone Strikes on UAE Base

0:00On this March 3rd in Adelaide, here's what is making headlines. An airbase in the United Arab Emirates that houses Australian defense personnel was struck by Iranian drones this weekend as middle east tensions. Boyle over, all more than 100 Australians in the region are safe and accounted for, with none injured. Iran wants these strikes and retaliation for recent U.S. and Israeli attacks that killed top regime figures, including Ayatollah, Ali Kaminay, and dozens of senior officials. The targeted Al-Minhad base nearby serves as a key logistics hub for Australia's forces. Travelers are facing huge disruptions, with thousands of Australians stuffed due to canceled flights and closed airspace. One sending woman on a layover in Dubai described chaos at the airport at the strikes hit, leaving her and others waiting for government help. Defense Minister Richard Marles called it a major consular issue, and said contingency plans are in place to potentially bring citizens home. He stressed the base's long-standing importance to Australian operations.

1:03Prime Minister Anthony Albany's noted no requests for Australia to join the fight, adding the country stays focused on support without direct involvement.
