Australia to provide military support to Gulf states
www.abc.net.au
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirms the Australian Defence Force will deploy an E-7A Wedgetail aircraft to the Gulf to help protect and defend the region, providing long-range reconnaissance activity.

In short:

Australia will send a military aircraft and 85 ADF personnel to the United Arab Emirates to assist in the defence of Gulf nations that have been attacked by Iran.

They will be operational by the end of the week for an initial four-week period for the “collective self-defence of Gulf nations”.

What’s next?

Foreign Minister Penny Wong says Iran’s attacks on neighbouring countries escalated overnight.

    No matter what euphemism is given to our action in the Gulf, we are taking sides. We’re taking the side of those who attacked and decapitated a sovereign nation unlawfully. Our actions will result in deaths, directly or indirectly, of many unarmed civilians because we are freeing up US/Israel aircraft to keep carpet bombing Iran. Same as sending F35 parts to Israel to be used on civilian Palestinians.

    We are now (unofficially) taking part in the Middle East War which some are already calling the start of WW3. Australian government, you are making this nation a future target without our consent.
