Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong says the world is worried about how Iran is reacting to U-S and Israeli strikes that killed its leader, Ayatollah Khamenei and targeted nuclear infrastructure. The Department of Foreign Affairs has sent the first of six crisis response teams to the Middle East, where thousands of Australians are caught up in a widening conflict that has seen strikes on Gulf states and enclaves that are heavily populated by expats and tourists. The far-north of the nation is on cyclone watch, with Cairns expect to bear the brunt of a tropical cyclone forecast to cross the Queensland coast tomorrow morning. News from today's live program (1-2pm).
