Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong says no one wants a full-scale war in the face of U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend.

While the minister addressed multiple media sources on June 23, she has so far neither confirmed nor denied the possibility of an Australian presence should tensions escalate.
