Israel’s high-tech defences have so far succeeded against most of the hundreds of ballistic missiles fired by Iran.
Despite not relying on Iran for its oil supplies, petrol and other prices in Australia will rise due to the global impact of the Israel–Iranian war.
After such a devastating attack from Israel, Iran’s leaders see no choice but to fight back. Any sign of weakness would severely undermine the regime’s legitimacy at home.
Multiple nuclear and military facilities were targeted in an Israeli strike, which took place days before US and Iran were due to conduct a sixth round of nuclear talks.

Trump had good reason to try to constrain Netanyahu while nuclear talks with Iran proceeded, but Israel decided instead to try to behead the ‘octopus’.

This siege mentality may have undermined more proactive Israeli Jewish public support for a ceasefire and ‘day-after’ concessions when the conflict finally ends.

The Trump administration favours a diplomatic solution with Iran over its nuclear programme, while Israel wants military action.
What the strong resistance to the new model reveals: a lack of good faith on Israel’s part to adhere to its obligations under international law.
Starvation and malnutrition are harmful for anyone. But for infants the impact can be profound and lasting.
