‘No harm no foul': Greens Party blasted for supporting Iran's nuclear weapons
The Daily Telegraph's Tim Blair discusses the hypocrisy of the Greens Party supporting nuclear programs for Iran but not nuclear energy for Australians.
'These are people who were screaming … about the terrible dangers of incredibly safe nuclear energy,' Mr Blair told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
'But then, when Iran gets onto a bit of uranium enriching … they're like wow, let them be, no harm, no foul.
'This is the shifting sands on which our friends of the left make their base.'

More than 100 Australians evacuated from Tel Aviv on departure flight
Australian Defence Force personnel and diplomatic staff have helped 119 Australians to evacuate Tel Aviv after Israel's airspace reopened. Senior sources say the Australian government continues to move quickly when opportunities to safely move its citizens become available. Israeli commercial airlines have resumed operations for anyone wanting to leave Israel. Travellers with existing tickets for cancelled flights are encouraged to keep speaking with airlines. The government will continue to communicate directly with registered Australians who wish to leave Israel about any further plans for assisted departures. Consular officers remain positioned at the Iran -Azerbaijan border to assist Australians wanting out. It comes as Israel's defence minister ordered the military to strike Tehran in response to what he says were Iranian missiles fired in a violation of the ceasefire announced hours earlier by US President Donald Trump. Iran said it had not violated the ceasefire. The armed forces general staff denied there had been any launch of missiles towards Israel in recent hours, Iran's Nour News reported. The developments on Tuesday raised early doubts about the ceasefire, intended to end 12 days of war. Australians in need of urgent consular assistance should contact DFAT's 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305 (from overseas) or 1300 555 135 (within Australia).

Neighbouring countries ‘quietly pleased' by US strike on Iran's nuclear facilities
Liberal Senator Dave Sharma suggests neighbouring countries may be 'quietly pleased' by the US strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. 'Most or all in fact of Iran's neighbours are concerned about its nuclear weapons program, its ballistic missile activities,' Mr Sharma told Sky News host Sharri Markson. 'Many Arab Gulf states, while they will not say this publicly, will be quietly pleased that Iran's ambitions have been humbled.'

A potential ‘internal breakdown' in Iran may have undermined ceasefire with Israel
Liberal Senator Dave Sharma attributes the collapse of the Iran-Israel ceasefire in part to an 'internal breakdown' within Iran. 'We've had mixed signals from Iran … they haven't explicitly agreed to a ceasefire,' Mr Sharma told Sky News host Sharri Markson. 'There's a possibility that there's been a breakdown internally in Iran here too, where the leadership wanted to observe a ceasefire but elements of the IRGC did not.'
