Minister, thank you for your comments. I know the Iranian community back home really appreciate the work that you and the government have done to date. In response to the military strikes conducted by the US and Israel, the Islamic Iranian regime has launched reprisal attacks across the region, including in the United Arab Emirates, as we have seen on our TV screens. Airspace has been closed around the Middle East, and many Australians are stuck at regional hubs. What is the Australian government doing to support those Australians in the region?
