Wong warns US against new Iran strikes, citing global instability
Australian foreign minister says further strikes would worsen economic pressures behind European protests
Foreign Minister Penny Wong has called on the United States to refrain from resuming strikes on Iran after the November 3 midterm elections, warning it would worsen economic pressures already fuelling widespread protests across Europe and further destabilise the global economy. Wong made her comments at the G20 summit in Atlanta, where expectations are growing that US President Donald Trump will order new military action against Iran as soon as after the November 3 polls.
