The Albanese Labor Government has sent SAS troops into the Middle East while this awful and illegal US and Israeli War on Iran expands. How could the PM not have told the truth about this last night?


More than 1,000 international law experts (myself included) warn that U.S. strikes on Iran violate the U.N. Charter (no evidence that Iran posed an imminent threat that could justify a self-defense claim) and may be war crimes (attacks on civilian sites). trib.al/lyTCOJB

🚨 Don’t be fooled: Australia is up to its neck in supporting the US in the illegal war on Iran. ▪️Pine Gap spy base intel being used by the US for targeting of missile and bomb strikes in Iran ▪️NW Cape communications base assisting US killer subs including against Iran ▪️ Australia has a military base in Gulf region at ADF Middle East Headquarters at Al Minhad Airbase in UAE ▪️100+ military personnel of Joint Task Force 633 stationed at the ADF Middle East Headquarters at Al Minhad Airbase in UAE ▪️50+ RAN personnel serving on US nuclear submarines, including in Middle East area ▪️Australian ADF personnel (number not disclosed) are embedded in the Combined Air Operations Centre (CAOC) of the forward headquarters of CENTCOM, the US Central Command at the Udeid Airbase in Qatar. ▪️85 personnel deployed to support the E-7A Wedgetail battle management aircraft operating out of Al Minhad base ▪️16+ personnel deployed with US’s Combined Maritime Forces at the US Fifth Fleet Headquarters in Bahrain ▪️ADF personnel deployed in support of the Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAMs) provided to UAE for use with UAE F-16 fighters ▪️Unknown numbers of SAS special forces soldiers as well as ASIS intelligence agents likely deployed to locations in Gulf area. ▪️E7-A Wedgetail battle coordination aircraft deployed to UAE and integrated with US military operations ▪️C-17A Globemaster transport plane deployed to UAE ▪️KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker midair refueler deployed to UAE Canberra says Australia is “not involved” because it is not dropping the bombs itself. That is the usual deception. But modern war is not just the aircraft over the target. Australia is providing intelligence architecture, intelligence collection, communication systems, military intelligence specialists, and the political cover that helps support the illegal war. In a globally networked world, it is the satellite feed, the launch detection, the target support, the command post, the battle management platform, the submarine signals, the refuelling base, the overflight corridor, the embedded officers inside the coalition forces. The country that provides those things is not outside the war, but is an intricate part of it.

Australian Special Forces are not the only ones The Australian press is reporting that around 90 members of the Special Air Service Regiment (SAS), Australia’s main special forces unit, were quietly sent to the Middle East about two weeks ago. It is believed the contingent is operating out of Al Minhad Air Base in the United Arab Emirates, on standby in case the war between the US/Israel and Iran escalates further. The government of Anthony Albanese insists that the mission is purely defensive, focused on protecting the approximately 115,000 Australians still in the region. Nobody buys that 90 elite operators were sent just to protect 115,000 civilians. And the story doesn’t stop there. In addition to the special forces, Australia also sent an E-7A Wedgetail surveillance aircraft and AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missiles to the Emirates. When you start sending air-to-air missiles and an early-warning aircraft that shares data via Link 16 with American forces in the region, it becomes very hard to swallow the “purely defensive” narrative. This is an unofficial entry into the war, no matter how much they deny it. But the Australians are not alone in this. The United Kingdom, despite denying any plans for a ground invasion of Iran, has increased its total contingent in the region to around 1,000 troops. Reports indicate that Royal Marines commandos are being used in several Gulf countries. It’s the same old pattern: official denial followed by discreet action. This is nothing new. A 2023 report already showed that British special forces (SAS and SBS) have secretly operated in at least 19 countries over the past 12 years, including Syria (supporting rebels since 2012), Yemen, Libya, and even Ukraine.

Iran is deliberately inflicting economic pain on communities worldwide, including the Indo-Pacific, with the costs borne disproportionately by the most vulnerable. Australia joined partners in condemning the Iranian regime’s weaponisation of the Strait of Hormuz.







Sources have told The Nightly that elite Australian troops have been constantly rotating out of the Al Minhad air base in the United Arab Emirates for “some time”, and well before the latest conflict in the region began in late February thewest.com.au/politics/feder…
