Japan Appears to Show some Support for U.S. Strike on Iran Nuke Sites
- Foreign Minister Penny Wong confirmed on 22 June 2025 that Australia supports the US military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
- The strikes followed tensions over Iran's nuclear program, which breaches non-proliferation agreements and has drawn warnings from Israel and international monitors.
- Wong emphasized Australia's call for diplomacy and de-escalation to avoid full-scale war, and the government is arranging contingency flights for Australians in Iran and Israel due to security risks.
- US President Donald Trump claimed that the recent strikes had thoroughly destroyed Iran's nuclear sites, while representatives from Iran dismissed the extent of the damage and vowed to respond.
- The strikes heightened regional instability with Australia urging continued dialogue, concern for Australians abroad, and National Security Committee meetings planned to manage risks.
