WorldABC News & HeadlinesDisquiet among Labor MPs over Trump's Iran war a headache for Albanese
Some Labor MPs are uneasy about Trump's threats of military action against Iran, putting Albanese in a tricky spot given his own history of opposing US-led wars.
Everyone grows up, grows older and learns in Canberra that the politics of passion give way to the business of governing and pragmatism.
Trump's suggestion the US may carry out another military strike on Iran is creating tension within Labor ranks as parliament resumes this week.
Back in 2003, Albanese and more than 40 Labor MPs signed an open letter to President Bush opposing the Iraq war, calling pre-emptive military action dangerous.
As prime minister, Albanese now faces pressure to balance the US alliance with the concerns of Labor MPs who share his old anti-war instincts.
