Aus says it's 'alarmed' by Israel-Iran escalation, NZ calls it 'unwelcome development'
Reacting to escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said the country is "alarmed". "This risks further destabilising a region that is already volatile," added Wong. New Zealand PM Christopher Luxon called Israel's attack on Iran's nuclear sites a "really unwelcome development in the Middle East". "The risk of miscalculation is high," added Luxon.
