What are the implications for Australia?

By Louise Miolin

Malcolm Davis is a senior data analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute.

He told Nadia Mitsopoulos on ABC Perth Mornings there could be economic repercussions for Australia if conflict escalates following Israel's attack.

Dr Davis is concerned about our oil supply.

"We are highly dependent on Middle Eastern oil for our economy," he said.

"If that oil supply was threatened or cut off in any way, that would seriously effect our economic stability.

"It should be a lesson to Australia and its leaders that we should not be dependent on distant critical resources."

Israel is planning to carry out multiple rounds of attacks against Iran, an Israeli source told CNN.

“This is not a one-day attack,” the source said.

The Israeli government saw a window of opportunity to carry out this attack, both militarily and diplomatically, the source added.
