Australian Prime Minister has announced that the country will provide military support to the United Arab Emirates amid the ongoing regional crisis, but ruled out sending ground troops to Iran.
Speaking at a press briefing, the Prime Minister emphasized that Australia’s role will focus on defense cooperation and logistical assistance to the UAE, rather than direct involvement in combat operations inside Iran.
