The Prime Minister said on Tuesday that the Australian Security and Intelligence Organization (ASIO) was “reliable intelligence ın to determine that the Iranian government was behind the attacks against the Israeli synagogue in Melbourne and the Continental Kitchen in Bondney in Sydney.

Mike Burgess, General Manager of ASIO, said that the attacks were ordered by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) with the “slaughter layer cake” as a paid vehicle moving in Avustralia.

IRCG will be listed as a terrorist organization and new laws will be evaluated by the Federal Parliament.

Iran’s Ambassador of Australia, Ahmed Sadeghi, was called “Persona Grata ver by the Australian government and suspended Australia’s embassy operations in Tehran. Burgess said that Iranian diplomats sent to Australia were not included.

Six diplomatic personnel sent to Iran moved to a third country before the announcement was made.

“These were extraordinary and dangerous aggression actions organized by a foreign nation on the territory of Australia,” Albania said.

“In our community, social harmony was attempts to weaken and mismatch. It is completely unacceptable.”

On Tuesday, Albania said that the lower house in question was the “most serious response ve and the Australian government gave and said, uz We don’t lightly expel a ambassador”.

Burgess said that the agency has explored other events for the participation of the possible Iranian government, but that Iran was involved in every action of anti -Semitism in Australia.

“There is no need to say that Iran’s actions are unacceptable. They put their lives at risk, they horrified the society and tears our social tissue. Iran and their deputies burned matches and took the flames aired.”

“This was directed by the IRGC to the coordinators who found the way to assign to the Australians through a series of overseas, facilitates.”

Foreign Minister Penny Wong said Iran’s actions require the first abolition of a foreign ambassador to Canberra since the post -war period.

“This is a step that we have been defending for a long time… A strong and important movement,” a spokesman said.
