Australian Government Says Iran Behind Antisemitic Attacks
Australia expels Iranian ambassador, bans Islamic Guard (IRGC) terrorist group.
The Iranian regime orchestrated at least two antisemitic attacks in Australia, the country’s government and top intelligence agency said Tuesday.
Iran’s foreign terrorist arm, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), directed an arson attack on a Kosher restaurant in Sydney in October 2024 and another on a Melbourne synagogue in December, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) disclosed.
The revelation prompted Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to expel the Iranian ambassador and ban the IRGC terrorist group from operating in the country.”Iran’s ambassador to Australia has been expelled and the Australian embassy in Tehran shuttered after the stunning revelation that Iran directed at least two high-profile attacks on the Australian Jewish community,” The Sydney Morning Herald reported Tuesday.
The newspaper described the Iran-sponsored antisemitic attacks as the “most dangerous example of foreign interference in modern Australian history,” leading the “government to designate Iran’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation.”
Iran has been propping up proxy groups to orchestrate attacks on the Jewish community in Australia. The IRGC, a U.S.-designated terrorist group, had “used a complex web of proxies to hide its involvement,” the country’s intelligence chief, Mike Burgess, said. “They’re just using cut-outs, including people who are criminals and members of organised crime gangs to do their bidding or direct their bidding,” he added.
The Australian public broadcaster ABC reported how “IRGC’s long tentacles” were taking hold in the country:
The IRGC is the group responsible for both internal security in Iran and for the international “security” operations of the regime and has long been known to have tentacles that spread wide around the globe.
In Australia in recent years, it has been seen to be mostly active against the Iranian diaspora. A Senate select committee two years ago received submissions from Iranian Australians concerned for their safety and reporting intimidation and harassment.
That harassment had escalated in the wake of the death in Iran in 2022 of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, allegedly at the hands of Iran’s religious police in September, which triggered mass protests across the country.
Then Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil promised not to let diaspora communities become foreign interference targets, after revealing ASIO had disrupted an Iranian government operation on Australia soil, targeting an Australian-Iranian critic of the regime in Tehran.
The damning revelations come after Australian Prime Minister Albanese earlier this month promised to recognize the so-called “Palestinian state,” a move likely aimed at appeasing the country’s rapidly growing migrant Muslim population.
Since October 7, 2023, antisemitic demonstrations have been witnessed across Australia. These angry protests are accompanied by firebomings and attacks on Synagogues, Jewish residential areas, and even a childcare center.
Reuters reported “widespread” anti-Israel protests across Australia over the weekend. “Thousands of Australians joined pro-Palestinian rallies on Sunday, organisers said, amid strained relations between Israel and Australia following the centre-left government’s decision to recognise a Palestinian state,” the news agency commented Monday.
Demonstrators make no secret of their hate towards Jews and Israel. Just days after the October 7 massacre, pro-Hamas demonstrators were heard chanting ‘Gas the Jews’ outside Sydney’s Opera House. Australian university campuses have been allowing demonstrations that openly call for a worldwide ‘Intifada,’ a reference to deadly waves of Palestinian terror attacks in Israel in the early 1990s and 2000s.

“ban the IRGC terrorist group from operating in the country”
Bold move by the Australian government.
Let’s hope they don’t chicken out.

It took two attacks for Australia to wake up (supposedly) to the Iranian Islamofascist/Muslim terrorist threat.
Has the Australian government stuck its head in the sand, since the 1979 Iranian revolution? These idiots have had decades to witness the Iranian regime’s terrorism sponsorship and attacks against Jews and Jewish businesses.
And, what about Australia’s foolishness and stupidity in continuing to admit Jew-hating and Christian-hating Islamofascists and Muslim supremacists, into its country?
It’s funny we’ve never seen a similarly pointed headline like that in the USA. Who do we think is funding all these college Hamasholes?
The Australian government is very woke. I’m surprised this kind of reporting was permitted.
I believe someone who is intelligent and speaks well could run on an Islamaphobia platform for a major office in this country. It isn’t hidden any longer what Muslims are and will do to your country. They say it up front that they will destroy your way of life and turn your country into another Islamic shithole. We cannot live with them but we can live nextdoor to them and do business with them. All Muslims in the West must be repatriated to their country of family origin. There is no “Meet in the middle” with Muslims. They truly are a sect of people who cannot be trusted on any matter and any agreement with them is only until they attain control. Taqiyya allows them to lie anytime to attain an advantage to protect Islam or its goals.
Iran may have directed a couple of attacks but they had many willing helpers from the Muslim invasion of Australia which has now as pointed out completely caved and said they will recognize a terrorist state in hopes of appeasing the mob. Good luck with that. To bad the citizens have to hide and take the overthrow of their country since they let themselves be disarmed
Iran has been at war with the US and the West in general for over 40 years now. These attacks were acts of war, no different than had these targets been hit by missiles fired from outside Australia and no less for having been done on the ground.
There are only two types of western nation – the kind that have had their citizens killed by Iran or their proxies and the kind that will have their citizens killed by Iran or their proxies. Just about any western nation would be justified to strike Iran at any time.
