I move:

That the Senate—

(a)

notes:

(i)

the growing tension between the United States of America (US) and Iran, including the military build-up in the Persian Gulf,

(ii)

the indication by US Vice President Dick Cheney, while in Sydney from 22 February to 25 February 2007, that a military strike on Iran is an option, and

(iii)

that US intelligence bases in Australia are likely to be used in any military strike on Iran; and

(b)

calls on the Government to:

(i)

support a diplomatic resolution to the crisis, and

(ii)

rule out Australian support for a military strike on Iran.

Question put.
