The news as it trends.
Australia’s expulsion of Iran’s ambassador over antisemitic attacks marks a historic and symbolic move, echoing global concerns about the rise of antisemitism.
Intelligence linked Iran’s Revolutionary Guard to arson attacks on Jewish sites in Sydney and Melbourne, prompting Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to declare the ambassador persona non grata.
However, the connection and correlation remain unclear.
This unprecedented action—Australia’s first ambassador expulsion since World War II—signals a firm stance against foreign interference and hate-fueled violence.
It also sets a global precedent, urging other democracies to confront antisemitic threats with decisive diplomacy.
By suspending its Tehran embassy and planning to designate the Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization, analysts say Australia has opened up a broader dialogue about the seriousness of the threat and the urgent need to protect social cohesion and minority communities from ideological aggression.
