Full report: Australia expels Iran ambassador
Australia has announced that it will list Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist group, after the country’s intelligence agency determined that it had directed at least two attacks against Australia’s Jewish community.
The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, said Australia’s domestic spy agency had “credible intelligence” that attacks against a synagogue in Melbourne and Jewish restaurant in Sydney were “directed by the IRGC.”
The Iranian ambassador to Australia, Ahmad Sadeghi, will be expelled and Australia’s embassy in Tehran will suspend operations.
