Australia expelled Iran's ambassador and severed diplomatic ties with Tehran after intelligence services determined the Iranian government directed antisemitic attacks on a Sydney kosher business and Melbourne synagogue, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced Monday.
Iran is accused of organising arson attacks against the Lewis Continental Kitchen in Sydney in October of last year, according to the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO). This was allegedly in addition to a separate attack on the Addas Israel synagogue in Melbourne in December of last year.
