Australia expelled Iran’s ambassador on 25 Aug 2025 after credible intelligence linked Iran’s Revolutionary Guard to antisemitic attacks in Sydney and Melbourne. The attacks targeted Jewish sites, including the Adass Israel Synagogue and a Sydney restaurant. Australian officials said Iran may have funded these crimes to stir unrest. This is the first time since World War II that Australia has expelled a foreign envoy. The government plans to list Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group. Israel praised Australia’s action, calling Iran a threat to global security. The move follows rising antisemitism in Australia since 7 October and aims to strengthen national security and community safety. (Updated 26 Aug 2025, 13:37 IST; source: link)
