Murray Olds: Australian correspondent on Australia sending missiles to UAE and deploying aircraft
Published 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Australia will deploy a military surveillance aircraft to the Middle East and send missiles to the United Arab Emirates, but the Government's ruled out sending troops.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says this support will help the Gulf countries defend themselves against attacks from Iran - but he's claimed Australia is 'not a protagonist' in this conflict.
Australian correspondent Murray Olds says Donald Trump reportedly phoned Anthony Albanese earlier today.
