The Prime Minister is refusing to say whether the government supports the joint US-Israeli strikes against Iran | Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/RNZVideo?sub_confirmation=1
Christopher Luxon told RNZ's Morning Report the US and Israel had independently carried out the attacks. He says the government has condemned the Iranian regime's repression of its people and funding of proxies around the region.
Asked by presenter Corin Dann if New Zealand supported the attacks on Iran, Luxon said it condemned the Iranian regime and it acknowledged strikes, which he called independent.
Luxon was speaking a few minutes after a former Prime Minister Helen Cark called the government's stance a disgrace and New Zealand should support a rules-based international order.
