Episode description
Israel has confirmed it has launched strikes on "dozens" nuclear and military targets in Iran — reportedly killing the Head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
Australia's Foreign Minister Penny Wong says Australia is "alarmed" over the attacks and warns it risks further "destabilisation" in an already volatile region.
The attacks signal major escalation in regional tensions, and comes as fears over Iran's nuclear capabilities have increased dramatically.
Patricia Karvelas breaks it all down on Politics Now.
