Israel & the US have launched a new war against Iran:
- an illegal war of aggression (the war crime causing all other war crimes)
- openly boasting of targeting civilians, national leaders, government officials, scientists
- launched (again) while the US was still (putatively) engaged in peace talks, once more betraying any respect for negotiated outcomes
- launched (once more) without even pretending to give any regard to the UN, the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, or rulings of the #ICJ (or even Trump's #BoredOfPeace scam)
- launched despite eight months of claiming that Iran's nuclear capabilities had been "entirely obliterated" by the June 2025 Israeli-US twelve day war against Iran (also wildly illegal).

You don't need to be any kind of supporter of the brutal Iranian regime to think this is a brazenly criminal and regionally destabilising act, carried out by two authoritarian crime lords, who already slaughtered 500+ Iranian civilians eight months ago and who are still perpetrating an ongoing (albeit slower) genocide in Gaza.

Given all this, why on Earth would #AnthonyAlbanese make his first response be unqualified support for yet another illegal war?

Another demonstration that the Australian government has more #SharedValues with Trump/Netanyahu than with most Australians.
