In an extraordinary announcement, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says Iran directed at least two antisemitic attacks in Australia, including the firebombing of a synagogue, in an attempt to sow discord and undermine social cohesion in the country.
Iran’s ambassador has been expelled, and Australia said it would suspend operations of its embassy in Tehran.
Australia will also list Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation, as have the United States and Canada.
