SYDNEY (Reuters) — Australia said on Friday it had suspended operations at its embassy in Tehran, citing “a deteriorating security environment” as Israel hit Iran’s nuclear facilities again, and the week-old air war showed no sign yet of an exit strategy from either side.
Israel launched a sweeping aerial campaign against Iran last Friday, calling it a preemptive strike to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Iran has denied any such plans and retaliated by launching counterstrikes on Israel.
