Australia will deploy a long-range military aircraft and missiles to the Gulf region, as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Tuesday that the move aims to help protect Australian citizens during the ongoing conflict.

Speaking to reporters in Canberra, Albanese said that Australia will send an E-7A Wedgetail surveillance aircraft to the Gulf region to provide long-range reconnaissance and help secure airspace over the area.

"The Wedgetail will provide long-range reconnaissance capability, which will help to protect and secure the airspace above the Gulf. The Wedgetail and supporting Australian Defense Force personnel will be deployed for an initial four weeks in support of the collective self-defense of Gulf nations," he said.
