Guardian Essential poll: only a quarter of Australians approve of US-Israel war on Iran

A recent Guardian Essential poll indicates that only 25% of Australians approve of a potential US-Israel war on Iran. The poll also revealed limited support, with only a third of Australians backing the federal government's decision to deploy a military plane and troops to the region. Instead, the survey suggests that Australians are more interested in strengthening diplomatic ties with "middle powers" like Canada and Japan. Approximately one-third of respondents expressed a desire for Australia to distance itself from the United States. The poll highlights public sentiment regarding Australia's foreign policy and its relationships with key global players.
