Australia is considering providing military support to Gulf nations facing potential attacks from Iran, following recent US and Israeli strikes in the region. According to the foreign minister, Australia will not engage in offensive actions against Iran or deploy ground troops. The support would focus on protecting other countries in the Gulf. In response to the escalating tensions, nine flights have arrived in Australia from the Middle East in the past week, with three more scheduled. Additionally, dozens of Australians have been transported from Qatar to Saudi Arabia to facilitate their departure from the region.
