According to reports, Australian leader and Prime Minister Scott Morrison has insisted that Australia will not be a part of any armed conflict with Iran declaring that his country's commitment is limited to protecting the freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. The move has come after Donald Trump hinted at possible military action against Iran with possible nuclear weapons during a meeting with Australian PM in White House before taking a step back and highlighting that his desire is for restraint. As a response to alleged Iranian actions, Trump has sent extra troops to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The US President is anticipated to use the upcoming opportunity of meeting an array of leaders descending into the United States for the United Nations session and persuade other countries to take part. Trump shall be meeting at least a dozen world leaders during his three days in New York. Iran had earlier said that it will destroy any invader as tensions whip up in Gulf.

Morrison's meet with Trump

Reportedly, Morrison after reception at the private house of Australia's ambassador to the USA remarked that Australia was engaged in Strait of Hormuz and that's where his country involvement was. The Australian PM said that there was no discussion (with Trump) about anything else and that there was an appreciation of his country's involvement in that particular operation which he reminds everyone is about freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. He further said that: That's what it is about and the other concerns that the United States is involved in are their concerns and he has made it very clear when he announced his country's involvement in the Gulf that it was very much about navigation freedom issue and that is what it was about and that was appreciated. Morrison held talks with US defence secretary Mark Esperfor the freedom of navigation exercise.

According to reports, Morrison praised Trump's restraint on Iran saying that he made a point of praising the president on what he comprehended to be Trump's natural instinct of restraint on these issues and that he thinks that he said it fairly and plainly which he thinks that there is a direction towards restraint from Trump and he commended him for it and that it was good to confirm that in the course of discussions . PM Morrison further said that: Australia will make its decisions in the national interest and that he previously remarked that where we (Trump and him) worked together is because they have shared objectives. Morrison said that his country does not do what America says or Australis asks America to do that and that it was because they shared objectives and when objectives are shared one can expect the alignment of activities and operations.
