JAKARTA - Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Monday said he wanted more certainty from US President Donald Trump about the goals of the ongoing war in Iran.

"I want to see more certainty about what the purpose of the war is, and I want to see de-escalation," Prime Minister Albanese said, responding to a question about his views on how President Trump conducted the war, launching Al Arabiya from Reuters (30/3).

It is known that the US and Israel launched an attack on Iran on February 28, killing more than 1,340 people, including the late Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, triggering tensions in the Middle East.

In response, the Mullah's State retaliated with drone strikes and missiles targeting Israel, along with Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf states hosting US military assets, causing casualties and infrastructure damage and disrupting global markets and flights, including tight control of the vital Strait of Hormuz through which 20 percent of the world's crude oil and liquefied natural gas pass.

Australia itself has provided planes to help the United Arab Emirates' defense after a request from the country, but has refused to send naval vessels to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
