Australia lowers Middle East travel warnings after US-Iran agreement

17 Jun 2026 | BY Staff Writer

Australia on Wednesday relaxed its travel ​advice for Bahrain, Israel, ‌Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates after the U.S. and ​Iran reached an interim ​deal to end the war ⁠in the Middle East.

 

Foreign Minister ​Penny Wong said the ​advisory moved to "reconsider your need to travel" from "do not travel," ​but added that Australians ​should continue to delay non-essential travel ‌to ⁠the Gulf states.

 

"While the security situation across the Middle East could deteriorate ​rapidly ​with ⁠little warning, the (government) has assessed current ​conditions in Bahrain, Israel, ​Kuwait, ⁠Qatar and the UAE as appropriate to move ⁠to (the ​lower level)," Wong ​said.
