Canberra warned Australians to leave Iran as soon as possible.
Australia expelled its first ambassador since World War II, ordering the Iranian diplomat to leave the country after intelligence services concluded that Tehran had directed at least two antisemitic attacks.
The Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO) found that the Iranian government was behind arson attacks on the Lewis Continental Kitchen, a kosher food company, in Sydney in October 2024, and the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne in December that year.
