🚨 Historic move! On Tuesday, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced that Iran’s ambassador, Ahmad Sadeghi, plus three other diplomats, have seven days to leave Australia. This bold decision follows an ASIO investigation that uncovered credible evidence linking Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to two antisemitic arson attacks in Sydney and Melbourne since October 2023.
"Iran has sought to disguise its involvement," Albanese said. "But ASIO assesses it was behind the attacks." He also revealed that the Australian embassy in Tehran has suspended operations and all its diplomats are safe in a third country.
Next up, Canberra plans to list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization. It’s the first expulsion of an ambassador since World War II—a major shake-up in diplomatic history. 🤯
