SYDNEY, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) — Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Tuesday accused Iran of orchestrating anti-Semitic attacks in Australia and announced that Iranian Ambassador Ahmad Sadeghi had been ordered to leave the country.
Speaking at a press conference, the Prime Minister said the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) had gathered credible evidence that Iran had orchestrated at least two anti-Semitic attacks on Jewish communities in Sydney and Melbourne since October 2023.
"Iran tried to cover up its involvement, but ASIO believes it was behind the attacks," said Mr Albanese.
The Australian embassy in Tehran has suspended its activities and all its diplomats are safe in a third country, the prime minister said.
E. Albanese also said that the Australian government would add Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to the list of terrorist organizations.
Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said it was the first time an ambassador had been expelled from the country since World War II and urged all Australians in Iran to leave the Islamic republic if it was safe for them to do so. –0–
