Ali, (not his real name), had been waiting years to leave Afghanistan and come to Australia. Seven years ago, he applied for a humanitarian visa after working with the Australian Defence Force (ADF). He had been granted the long-awaited visa while he was staying in Iran, and was about to fly to Australia last week, when Israel attacked Iran. The country closed its airspace as it responded with a barrage of missiles.
