On February 28, 2026, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed solidarity with the people of Iran, calling them “courageous” in their struggle against oppression.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Albanese stated that Australia supports the United States in preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and threatening international peace and security.
He described the Iranian regime as a destabilizing force that must never be allowed to develop nuclear arms.
Albanese also emphasized that international calls for Tehran to respect human rights and fundamental freedoms have gone unheeded, adding:
“A regime that oppresses and kills its own people to maintain power has no legitimacy.”
