Australia says that Iran has directed anti -Semitic attacks, the expulsion – National – National star-news.press/wp

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albaniz accused Iran of organizing two anti -Semitic attacks in Australia and said that the country is cutting diplomatic relations with Tehran in response to Tuesday.

Albaniz said that the Australian Security Intelligence Organization concluded that the Iranian government had directed intentional burning attacks on Louis Continental cuisine, Kushier Food Company, in Sydney in October last year and the Israeli synagogue in Melbourne in December last year.

Iran’s government denied these allegations.

There has been a sharp rise in anti-Semitic incidents in Sydney and Melbourne since the Israeli War-they began in 2023.

The Australian authorities have previously said they suspect that foreign actors are paying local criminals in exchange for renting to carry out attacks in the country.

The police have already arrested at least a suspect in an investigation into the Sydney cafe and two suspects directly accused of igniting the Melbourne synagogue.

Sayed Mohamed Moussaoui, a former head of a branch in Sydney, a Sydney -based branch head, was charged with Sydney, by directing fire bombings in the Sydney cafe, as well as the curly frizzy junction factory. The beer factory appears to be confused in the café and accidentally targeted three days before an anti -Semitic attack.

Giovanni Lulu, a 21 -year -old man from Melbourne, was accused last month that he was one of three masked burns that caused severe damage to the seminar in December.

A police statement said that a 20 -year -old man, who is also a 20 -year -old man, is expected to be a 20 -year -old from Melbourne, in front of the court on Wednesday. It was not publicly called.

“Asio has now collected enough reliable intelligence to reach a very annoying conclusion,” Albaniz told reporters. The Iranian government has directed at least two of these attacks. Iran has sought to hide its involvement, but Aseo was living behind the attacks.

He said: “These were unusual and dangerous aggressive actions by a foreign country on Australian soil.” “They were attempts to undermine social cohesion and the disagreement of planting in our society. It is completely unacceptable.”

Shortly before announcing, the Australian government told Iran’s Ambassador to Australia, Ahmed Sadigi, that he would be expelled. Albaniz said that Australian diplomats were published in Iran to a third country.

I noticed an alert to the Australians in Iran to close the embassy and urge them to “think strongly to leave as soon as possible, if it is safe to do so.”

“Foreigners in Iran, including the Australian Australians and the Australian Australian citizens, dual, are at great risk of arbitrary detention or detention,” he read the warning.

Australia has updated its warning to travelers to its highest levels: “Do not travel” to Iran.

Iran has a long history of Western detainees or those who have relations abroad for use as bargaining chips in negotiations.

Foreign Minister Benny Wong said that Kanbara will keep some diplomatic lines open to Tehran to pay the interests of Australia. She added that it was the first time that Australia has launched an ambassador since World War II.

Albaniz said that Australia will legislate the Iranian Revolutionary Guards degree as a terrorist organization.

Australia law provides support to a terrorist terrorist organization.

The government previously rejected calls to include the Revolutionary Guards under the current terrorism laws because it is a government entity.

The Iranian semi -military revolutionary guard was accused of carrying out attacks abroad for decades of its existence, although it widely denies any participation. The loss of the guard, or Jerusalem, is its exploratory arm and accused Western countries by using local militants and criminals in the past to target dissidents and Israelis abroad.

A spokesman for the Australian Jewish Executive Council welcomed the terrorist appointment of the Revolutionary Guards, adding in a statement that the group was “angry” that the foreign actor was behind the crimes.

“Above all, these attacks were targeted by the Jewish Australians, and destroyed a holy house of worship, caused millions of dollars in damage, and frightened our society,” the statement said.

Since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, Israel has arrested many people on charges of pushing or encouraging them by Iran to implement sabotage and monitor the potential goals there.

Iran denied the allegations of Australia through a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Asmail Baji, who tried to link it to the challenges that Australia faced with Israel after it announced that it would get to know a Palestinian state.

“It seems that the work, which opposes Iran, diplomacy and relations between the two countries, is compensation for the criticism that the Australians had against the Zionist regime,” as he claimed.

The move against Iran came a week after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Albaniz described as a “weak politician who betrayed Israel” by recognizing a Palestinian state.

The extraordinary general reprimand of Netanyahu on social media came after the announcement of August 11 from Albanez that his government’s recognition of a Palestinian state would be the official nature of the United Nations General Assembly in September. This announcement was followed by the cancellation of visas for Australian and Israeli officials.

Analysts said Albanez had previously resisted calls to expel the Iranian envoy to Canberra before, including in 2024 when a six -year was called to attend meetings with Ministry of Foreign Affairs on social media positions.

Michael Chopridge, a former Australian defense and security official and director of strategic analysis of the research tank in Australia, said he did not believe that this step was paid by Israel’s complaints.

“I do not think this is the issue of Australia and Israel’s relations, but the issue of the cohesion of society here in Australia,” he said.

Asio Mike Burgis, General Manager Mike Burgis, nor Albanez, did not explain the evidence that there was Iranian involvement.
Borges said that no Iranian diplomats have participated in Australia.

“This was directed by IRGC through a series of facilitators abroad to the coordinators who found their way to Australian tasks,” said Burgis.

Borgis said that while anti -Semitic incidents in Australia increased after the Hamas war began on October 7, 2023, Iran was responsible for moving in October last year when violence directly targeted people, companies and places of worship.

“Iran started the first of these,” said Burgis.
