US President Donald Trump disclosed yesterday that the US targeted three locations in Iran, including the significant Fordow facility, sparking a vow of retaliation from Iranian authorities.

Trump’s actions have split onlookers, with many world leaders calling for de-escalation and diplomacy instead of further violence.

Lambie criticized the bombing mission, which was initiated less than three days after Trump’s announcement that he would take up to “two weeks” to make a decision on Iran intervention, claiming that it has completely eroded any trust that might have existed between the US and Iran.

She told Today the “bottom line” was that the US had re-entered a theatre of war in the Middle East, which ran contrary to Trump’s campaign promises and public stance as an anti-war president.

“You just put your shoe in the water there, your toes in the water there, and you’re back in that war,” Lambie said.

“But what I will say is this – we certainly can’t back you up this time, and we don’t owe you anything.”

Lambie said Australia’s military was not “fit for purpose” to be involved in a war.

“It’ll be 10 years before this country can commit troops that are fully fit, ready to go,” she said.

“We’ve got no idea where this is going, we’ve got no idea where this is going to end up, and on the other side we have Ukraine and Russia still going on.”

The federal government yesterday issued a statement calling for de-escalation following the US bombings.

Speaking on Today, Foreign Minister Penny Wong said this morning that the government supported the strikes.

“We support action to prevent Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon,” Wong said.

“And that is what this is.”

But she maintained calls for diplomacy to resume, saying nobody wanted to see another full-scale war in the Middle East.
