‘Worst case scenario’: Israel launches retaliatory strikes on Iran

Liberal MP Keith Wolahan says the Israel-Gaza conflict extending beyond borders is a “worst-case scenario” situation, as Israel launches attacks on Iran. US officials have said that Israel has carried out military operations against Iran, but have given no further details. “Israel has a right to defend itself in reaction to the horrendous attack that we saw over the skies of Jerusalem recently, but we want it to be in a way that’s proportionate and de-escalates,” Mr Wolahan told Sky News Australia in response. “I would imagine from here there will be quite high-level diplomacy to get both parties back from the brink. “That is the worst-case scenario for that region, that the Israel-Gaza conflict brings in wider regional actors, who have much more sophisticated weapons.”
