France says ambassador to return to Australia after subs row

The French ambassador to Australia is set to return to Canberra following a diplomatic spat.

French ambassador to Australia is set to return to Canberra following a diplomatic spat over the AUKUS alliance and subsequently scrapped submarine deal between the two nations.

Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison spectacularly dumped his nation’s plans to continue to build 12 French-designed conventional subs, in favour of teaming up with the US and UK and acquire high-tech nuclear vessels instead.

Jean-Pierre Thebault has been the French Ambassador since 2020 and was recalled last month after France expressed outrage over the alliance.

But the Foreign Minister has just told parliament that he has “now asked our ambassador to return to Canberra with two objectives: helping to define our relationship with Australia in the future … and firmly defend our interests in the implementation of Australia’s decision to terminate the submarine program”.

Trump claims Iran’s military largely neutralized; tensions rise with attacks threatening air travel and oil shipping.


President Trump says Iran’s military capability has been largely neutralised, including its navy and air force, as the conflict in the Middle East intensifies. Iranian attacks have threatened commercial air travel and oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of wider economic fallout.

The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh has faced two attacks, while Gulf states worked to intercept further Iranian strikes. Officials report six U.S. troops killed and more than 700 deaths inside Iran as the exchange of fire escalates.

With global markets watching closely, the region remains on edge as military and diplomatic tensions show no signs of easing.
