Coordinated conflict: how the Ukraine and Iran wars are starting to overlap

Coordinated conflict: how the Ukraine and Iran wars are starting to overlap

Battlefield outcomes are connected by the sharing of weapons and intelligence as well as the damage to the global economy The Iran and Ukraine wars are becoming more intertwined with every passing week – to the point that some analysts argue the two conflicts are beginning to merge. Quite how each war will affect the trajectory of the other is hard to predict, but it is already clear that their interconnectedness is drawing more countries into both cauldrons, extending an arc of instability that straddles Europe and the Middle East.

Lawyers for accused had argued names of family members should be suppressed due to fears for their mental and physical safety Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast The alleged Bondi attacker has been denied a suppression order over his family member’s names and home and work addresses after a collective of media organisations won a challenge against the bid.

Follow live updates Track Australia’s fuel prices, service station outages and shipments in charts Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast ‘Might as well have told us what he was going to have for dinner’: shadow minister lambasts address to the nation The quips continue coming in thick and fast against Albanese’s address to the nation. The shadow minister for energy, Dan Tehan, tells ABC Radio: He might as well have told us what he was going to have for dinner last night. There was nothing new in it. He didn’t take the Australian people into his confidence. He made no commitments to transparency … there was no commitment from the prime minister to tell us whether ships have been cancelled, whether they’re being delayed, what our stock holdings are at the moment, where the shortages are, how many service stations are out of fuel, what they’re doing to make sure they’re getting fuel to those service stations – nothing. We will be participating in that. It’ll be a virtual meeting as I understand the next 24 hours and the foreign minister will be representing Australia at that meeting. It follows on from Australia signing up to the UK-led statement … all of those countries and very much Australia have an interest in seeing the straits of Hormuz opened as soon as possible. We will look to what Australia can do. Continue reading...

Trump claims Iran war ‘nearing completion’ and seeks to justify conflict in prime time address

Markets sink after president offers little detail on how he intends to wind down conflict over next two to three weeks Middle East crisis – live updates Donald Trump used a prime time address to the nation on Wednesday evening to declare the month-long war in Iran a success “nearing completion”, despite a spiraling conflict that has caused economic turmoil across the globe, fractured transatlantic alliances and eroded the president’s approval ratings.
