US EditionAustralia Denies Israel Influence in Expelling Iranian Diplomats
Australia expelled Iranian diplomats and labeled the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as terrorists after intelligence linked Iran to antisemitic attacks in Sydney and Melbourne, officials said.
- Australia expelled Iranian diplomats and labeled the IRGC a terrorist group on August 27, 2025, after linking Iran to antisemitic attacks on Australian soil.
- The decision followed evidence from ASIO that Iran directed attacks including a firebombing in Sydney and involvement in Melbourne attacks, with no other country influencing this conclusion.
- Iranian officials rejected the accusations and claimed the expulsions were politically motivated, while Australian leaders stressed the measures respond solely to national security concerns amid ongoing Iranian hostile activities.

- The Australian government pledged close monitoring of Iranian activities, and the expulsions reassured the Jewish community following a series of antisemitic attacks allegedly inspired by IRGC ideology.
