Australian Government Throws Blind Support Behind US-Israeli War of Aggression on Iran

The Albanese government was the first US ally to jump on board the illegal, so-called preventative attack Washington and Tel Aviv unleashed upon Iran on 28 February 2026. And in taking an unquestioning side, PM Anthony Albanese has not only foreshadowed our potential involvement in what could be an entrenched war, but he is too broadly embracing the end of international order.

Albanese framed the unprovoked US-Israeli military attacks upon the Islamic Republic of Iran as standing on the side of its “brave people”, who were then in the midst of being bombarded, and he further justified his position on ASIO having suggested that two of thirteen antisemitic attacks across Sydney and Naarm-Melbourne over the summer of 2024/25 were the work of Iran.

Australians have been increasingly concerned about federal Labor’s approach to the aggressive actions of Israel and the United States over the last three years. Albanese’s expelling of the Iranian ambassador over a likely Israeli intelligence tipoff suggesting Iran had targeted a Jewish delicatessen on Gadigal land at Sydney’s Bondi, had then guaranteed our nation’s support in the future war.

Following the US into this current war would differ from this nation’s previous docile approaches to taking part in Vietnam, Iraq and other foreign theatres of war that Canberra has capitulated to, as this time round, it’s well understood that the US is warring on Iran on behalf of Israel, and much of the decisionmakers involved in this assault are made up of the recently exposed “Epstein class”.

Israel and the US have twice illegally attacked Iran, during negotiations with the Islamic Republic, over the last year. Both nations have trashed international law by repeatedly breaking it in Gaza and Venezuela.

And while these imperialist leaders kill the sons and daughters of regular people on the battlefield, or they steal them and rape them on islands, Albanese is only too happy to appease their wars of aggression.

A lawless order ruled by might

The US and Israel are trying to frame this unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation as bringing liberation to the Iranian people from the despotic rule of the regime of Ayatollah Khamenei, yet the 165 people killed at a girls school last Saturday, which included more than 100 children, aren’t feeling like US president Donald Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu have done them any favours.

Just as it did in respect of its 3 January 2026 attack on Venezuela, the US has removed the leader of Iran, as Khamenei was killed on the first day of strikes. However, despite the Venezuelan government capitulating to US demands after its president Nicolás Maduro had been kidnapped by Washington, no one expects the Iranian state to fold to its aggressors after they’ve killed their supreme leader.

UK prime minister Kier Starmer announced on Sunday that his nation has agreed to let the Washington use its bases in the region for “defensive” strikes against Iran, although he said it would not be involved in the fighting for now. And in the hours after agreeing to the US request, an unmanned drone struck a British base in Cyprus, causing limited damage.

In response to the US-Israeli aggression, Iran has launched missile attacks on Israel and neighbouring nation’s that host US bases on their soil, which has seen Iranian strikes against Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Lebanese paramilitary group Hezbollah fired on Israel over Khamenei’s death, and now Israel is warring upon Beirut.

The instant, unbridled support from the Australian PM had already been cemented with the August 2025 expelling of the Iranian ambassador from this country, while in the present, our nation has not been participating in this new war in the Middle East, yet multiple experts are pointing to the fact that it’s likely intel from the Pine Gap facility on Arrernte country in the Red Centre was involved.

Albanese’s recent backing of Israeli’s genocide against the Palestinians of Gaza, along with his undiscerning support for US actions in Venezuela and the illegal attacks upon Iran, reveal our prime minister to be distinctly siding with US secretary of state Marco Rubio’s recent suggestion made in Munich, which declared the post-War World II global order and international law a waste of time.

Blood-spattered Australian hands

“While both the prime minister and foreign minister have stated that Australia did not participate in Operation Epic Fury, it is well known that Pine Gap, under joint US-Australian control, functions to provide intelligence and targeting information for US military activity,” said the Independent and Peaceful Australia Network (IPAN) in a 1 March 2026 statement.

“IPAN is equally concerned that RAAF Base Tindal, which hosts US military forces under the force posture initiatives, may also have been implicated in support of these strikes,” the network of peace advocates continued. “Furthermore, the Harold E Holt Naval Communication Station at North West Cape is a key node for US naval communications, including for submarines operating in the region.”

So while our ministers’ statements on nonparticipation are welcomed, IPAN calls out the legitimacy of them, “given Australia’s deep integration into US military infrastructure”, this country really has no choice but to participate in such US-led wars of aggression in the Middle East, and all nation’s that Washington does attack using Pine Gap are well aware that the intel comes this continent.

IPAN further maintains the often-cited justification for the war resting upon the need to stop Iran acquiring nuclear weapons is a complete furphy and has likened it to the manner in which the White House justified the 2003 invasion of Iraq. However, the Iranian military is a much greater foe than the US miliary was facing in Baghdad at the turn of the century.

Albanese’s other justification for the war, that being the strikes aiming to achieve the Iranian peoples “struggle against oppression” is rather hollow as bombs rain down upon these civilians, whilst the PM’s failure to turn down a seat on Trump’s Board of Peace, a body seeking to undermine the UN, is beginning to appear differently, now he’s opening embracing the new world disorder.

A Zionist agenda

Albanese pouncing to firmly put Australian support behind the US-Israeli war of aggression upon Iran differs to such signs of support in the past, however, as the recollections of the lies employed to invade Iraq are in living memory, as is the fact that Israel is running a 29-month-long genocide in Gaza, whilst the Trump administration left any pretence about a “rules-based order” back in 2025.

Since the 14 December 2025 Bondi Beach massacre, it has been full steam ahead in this country with the embrace of the Zionist agenda of incorporating the IHRA definition on antisemitism into public life, so as to conflate criticism of Israel with hatred towards Jewish people, under the guise of combatting antisemitism, in order to rule out criticism of the Israeli settler colonial project.

Netanyahu has sought a war against Iran with US support going back decades. This has been predicated on the Iranian nuclear program. However, Tehran’s long-term support for the Palestinian people in opposition to their dispossession and genociding might be closer to the truth, and the attacks on Iran are also hoped to provide advantage in progressing “Greater Israel” expansionism.

IPAN insists that the Australian government should be reassessing this nation’s security alliance with the United States in light of its multiple breaches of international law and aggressive acts of war against nations that present no threat.

However, with “hard left” Labor leader Albanese appearing to have consumed so much Zionist kool aid of late, such appeals to human rights and common humanity no longer seem to be registering.
