Australia is deploying military assets to the United Arab Emirates and increasing involvement in Middle East tensions despite geographic distance, driven by economic interests in global energy markets and trade routes along with security alliances. The deployment reflects how "middle powers" like Australia, despite lower superpower status, face pressure to respond to geopolitical crises that affect domestic energy prices, supply chains and the 115,000 Australians living in the region.
