Australia's Foreign Minister has removed the travel advisory for the Middle East, according to the Foreign Ministry. The decision reverses earlier warnings issued during heightened regional tensions.
Australia has removed its travel advisory for the Middle East, the country's Foreign Minister announced. The decision, reported by the Foreign Ministry, reverses a previous warning in place during the recent escalation between Israel and Iran. As The Zioneer reported on June 10, Australia had previously urged its citizens to leave Iran immediately amid high regional tensions, and had lowered warnings for Israel and Gulf states only days earlier. The full lifting of the advisory signals a further de-escalation in Canberra's threat assessment for the region. No specific rationale beyond the security reassessment was provided.
