Iranian Ambassador Expelled

Post by Black Orchid » Tue Aug 26, 2025 6:14 pm

Iranian ambassador expelled over ‘credible intelligence’ Iran directed antisemitic attacks on Australian soil.

Iran directed at least two attacks against Australia’s Jewish community, the domestic spy agency has determined, prompting the Albanese government to expel Tehran’s ambassador to Canberra from Australia.

The prime minister announced on Tuesday that the Australian Security and Intelligence Organisation (Asio) had “credible intelligence” to determine the Iranian government was behind the attacks against the Adass Israel synagogue in Melbourne and Lewis’s Continental Kitchen in Bondi in Sydney.

The Asio director-general, Mike Burgess, said the attacks had been ordered by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), working through a “layer cake of cut-outs” – paid intermediaries acting in Australia.

The IRGC will be listed as a terrorist organisation, with new laws to be considered by federal parliament.
