Senior Labor and Liberal MPs have united in their condemnation of Iran after the country launched a wave of missiles and armed drones towards Israel on early Sunday, a confrontation that threatens to push the Middle East to the brink of a regional war.

The government has called on Iran to ‘step back’ from its missile attacks on Israel , but says Australia won’t be increasing its support in the region.Even as tensions were at their highest level since the Israel -Hamas war broke out, the government said on Sunday it was committed to the current level of military assistance .

President Joe Biden and his national security monitored the unfolding situation following Iran’s aerial attack on Israel.

The Treasurer added that “it would be much better if the Iranians used their influence in the region to try and calm tensions rather than inflame them”.
