US EditionUS Thumbs up Albo’s Historic Move
Australian Security Intelligence Organisation found credible evidence linking Iranian Revolutionary Guard to anti-Semitic attacks, prompting historic expulsion of ambassador, the first since World War II.
- The Albanese government expelled Iran's ambassador Ahmad Sadeghi after ASIO found the IRGC orchestrated attacks on Jewish sites in Sydney and Melbourne, Foreign Minister Penny Wong said he is the first ambassador booted since World War II.
- Australia accused Iran of orchestrating two attacks in October and December without public evidence, prompting federal funding for security upgrades at Jewish institutions in Sydney and Melbourne after October 7.
- Canberra said it acted on intelligence received Monday, removing Australian personnel in Tehran before giving Ahmad Sadeghi a 72 hour deadline; he was photographed leaving the embassy and is expected to fly out by Friday.
- Officials cautioned the decision carries risks for bilateral ties and community safety, warning Canberra to expect retaliation and noting Australians of Iranian heritage face abuse.
- The government created an envoy on anti‑Semitism and funded Jewish site security, while Senator Michaelia Cash and Coalition MPs demanded legislation to list the IRGC.
