Goff Claims Peters Damaged Luxon Via Iran War Emails
Internal emails from Prime Minister Christopher Luxon's office suggest he sought to shift the government's position to show explicit public support for the United States regarding the war in Iran. A spokesperson for the Prime Minister stated the emails were mischaracterized and that Luxon was merely testing New Zealand's position against those of Canada and Australia. The release of these internal discussions was described as a mistake by an office representative. The source criticized a lack of British support regarding the war against Iran. Former Labour Party leader and Foreign Affairs Minister Phil Goff stated that Winston Peters deliberately damaged Prime Minister Christopher Luxon by releasing an email exchange regarding the Iran War. Peters reportedly advised against the action.
