Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of Australia accused Iran on Tuesday of orchestrating two arson attacks on Jewish institutions in Australia last year and said he was severing diplomatic ties with Iran and expelling its diplomats.
“These were extraordinary and dangerous acts of aggression orchestrated by a foreign nation on Australian soil,” Mr. Albanese said at a news conference, where he was flanked by the country’s top intelligence official, its foreign minister and its home affairs minister.
