Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese welcomed a two-week ceasefire between Washington and Tehran while criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump's threat against Iran as inappropriate language for a president.
Albanese described Trump's remarks as "extraordinary," stressing that any conflict must adhere to international law amid tensions over the Strait of Hormuz. Trump had warned that "a whole civilisation" could be destroyed if Iran fails to reach a peace arrangement, linking the threat to demands for Tehran to reopen the strait and using blunt and profane language.
The ceasefire followed mediation efforts led in part by Pakistan, to which Trump agreed by temporarily halting strikes on Iran. Albanese's comments came as part of Australia's response to the escalating U.S.-Iran tensions.
