The attack on Iran was “clearly a violation of the ban on the use of force under the UN charter and international law, which is the linchpin of the international order since 1945,” he told Guardian Australia on Sunday.

“Domestic criminal acts like the IRGC’s interference here, of course, are not armed attacks which would somehow justify military self-defence against Iran.

“You may not like Iran, you may not like what it does, but that doesn’t justify an aggressive armed attack on Iran.”

I don’t have a problem with Australia supporting the US attack, Iran is run by an oppressive regime that kills their own people. Albo’s rhetoric of supporting the attack because Iran can’t have nuclear weapon’s is a tired excuse that is only less of a joke than if he said they had WMD’s.

Iran is run by an oppressive regime that kills their own people.

That would be greatly improved by bombing them on behalf of Israel, right?

Agreed, and I didn’t know about the school bombing when I posted my comment.
