Upon her return home, Bishop encountered strong criticism from opposition leaders: “When you start dancing with the devil in a place like Tehran, then we run the risk of becoming almost as bad, said independent lawmaker Andrew Wilkie, a former member of Australian intelligence. He said he saw some of the “crap” coming out of Tehran and it was “worse than useless, because it was downright misleading.” Australia risked being its pawn, he said.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said Labor was seeking further details about the deal and would take a steady and considered approach.

Putin warns Israel: Selling arms to Ukraine would provoke Russian S-300 sales to Syria too
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s warning to Israel not to sell arms to Ukraine, in reprisal for his release of S-300 air defense missiles to Iran, adds a European dimension to the dispute by planting Israel squarely in the middle of the US-Russian Ukraine crisis. Putin’s implied threat to punish Israel by sending S-300s to Syria too follows his intelligence updates on tight US-Israeli military collaboration in two arenas: Syria and Ukraine. The S-300s have not yet been shipped to Iran. It depends on whether Obama decides to forge ahead with expanded military assistance to Kiev.
