Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said on Sunday that the country supports the US attack on Iranian nuclear facilities while calling for calm and diplomacy.
“We support action that the US has taken to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon,” Wong told a local television interviewer.
Protests were held on Sunday in far-flung cities against the US attack on Iran's nuclear sites.
United Nations envoys from Russia and China on Sunday expressed strong objections to the US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites, deepening the superpowers' rift with Washington as their mutual friend Iran is bombed.
"Again we're being asked to believe the US's fairy tales, to once again inflict suffering on millions of people living in the Middle East," Russia's UN ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said.
