Australien sagt, Teheran hinter zwei antisemitischen Brandstiftungsangriffen, den iranischen Botschafter aus

Australia accused Iran of orchestrating two antisemitic arson attacks in Sydney and Melbourne in 2024.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expelled Iran’s ambassador, suspended Australia’s embassy in Tehran, and said the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps will be designated a terrorist group.

This is the first time since World War II that Australia has expelled an ambassador. Intelligence officials said Iran’s actions were aimed at sowing discord in Australia, and investigations into further attacks are ongoing.
