The federal government is appearing to distance itself from an increasingly “unpredictable” US President as his public communications over the conflict in Iran become increasingly concerning.

Australia’s Foreign Minister, Penny Wong, has emphasized the nation’s intent to broaden its international partnerships, while notably criticizing former U.S. President Donald Trump.

“Under President Trump, the U.S. proved to be more unpredictable,” Wong remarked during an appearance on Today.

Initially supportive, Prime Minister Albanese and his administration have since adjusted their stance.

Albanese highlighted that the original goals of the conflict had been achieved, as Trump considered deploying ground troops to Iran.

This week, Albanese voiced concerns about the current objectives of the war and advocated for a reduction in hostilities.

“It’s crucial to clarify any further escalation and its intended goals,” he stated on Tuesday.

In a rare rebuke of a US President, Albanese also condemned Trump for threatening to bring Iran “back to the Stone Ages” and that a “whole civilisation will die” if it did not bow to his narrowing deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

“Open the F—–‘ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah,” he said in a Truth Social post.

While Trump did abandon his threat at the 11th hour for a shaky two-week ceasefire, Albanese told Sky News the threat was both “inappropriate” and “extraordinary”.

Wong told the ABC that no one should threaten the destruction of a civilisation.
