Amid escalating clashes between Iran and Israel, Trump has issued a warning to Tehran over its nuclear ambitions, reportedly crippled by recent Israeli airstrikes, but is opting for diplomacy over immediate retaliation.
Iran has threatened to unleash "hell" if the US intervenes, while Israel has welcomed Trump’s backing.
The situation on the ground is worsening, with civilian casualties mounting.
An Iranian airstrike on an Israeli hospital has left dozens injured.
In response, the Australian government has closed its embassy in Tehran and begun deploying defence forces to the Middle East to assist with the evacuation of citizens.
