Description :

Australia has expelled Iran’s ambassador and three officials, giving them seven days to leave, after accusing Tehran of directing antisemitic arson attacks in Sydney and Melbourne. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the incidents, linked by intelligence to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), “dangerous acts of aggression” aimed at sowing discord. Australia has withdrawn its diplomats from Tehran, suspended embassy operations, and warned citizens against travel to Iran. Foreign Minister Penny Wong noted it was the first expulsion of an ambassador since WWII, the BBC has reported. Canberra also plans to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organisation, a move welcomed by Israel. Iran has denied the allegations.
