17 June 2025 17:39 | News

Like many Iranians in Australia, Kambiz Razmara follows the images from the old country with great uncertainty.

As missing strikes between Iran and Israel continue, threatening to increase further, Razmara said they were worried about the family that members of the community returned home.

“When the infrastructure is destroyed, it is not clear what will happen when the infrastructure is destroyed. The daily or minute suggestion for the scattered people,” AAP said.

“You’re worried because you can’t communicate with your loved ones and you don’t know if they’re there.”

Razamara, the Vice President of the Australian Iranian Victoria Association, said that the difficulty of seizing people in Iran intensifies the concern that many people in the community felt.

Although his own family was safely approved after the bombing attacks, he was concerned about the increase in violence in the region.

“If most of my family is located in the location of the main nuclear reactors, and reactors are bombed, my entire family will emerge,” he said.

“People are trying to reach people, but you cannot communicate with people online and you cannot call.”

Foreign Minister Penny Wong said more than 1000 Australian Australians had registered to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce for help to leave the Middle East.

Approximately 650 in Iran and 600 Australians in Israel asked for help, Senator Wong, all evacuation options were taken into consideration, he said.

ABC TV told Tuesday, “We evaluate the safety results of the security status of various options very carefully. On Tuesday, ABC TV told us that we can provide the help we can do to ensure safety when people are safe,” he said.

“We are making plans to help Australians in places where they are safe for security. However, now the airport continues to be closed, and this is because the risk for a strike’s civilian plane.”

The situation in the Middle East caused many people visiting Iran to be stuck.

Razmara, “people are putting great pressure on people and practically people are trapped. Some (community members) went for a holiday and some of them cope with family affairs and cannot go back,” he said.

Since Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran’s nuclear and military fields, hundreds of people have been killed, including civilians.

Since then, the two countries have changed air and missile strikes, and Iran promised to “open the doors of hell” against the sworn enemy.

Local officials said that more than 224 Iranians have been killed, and most civilians have been killed since they started on Friday.

In Israel, 24 people have been killed in Iran’s missile attacks so far, all civilians.

Greens Senator David Shoebridge told Nine’s Today Show on Tuesday, “I think many people wake up in the morning, open their phones, take a look at the news and deeply uneasy,” he said.

Former Australian Ambassador to Israel Liberal Senator Dave Sharma, Israel’s last game is an Iran that can no longer threaten him with destruction, he said.

“This is an ideologically determined country that has been focused on its destruction for at least the last twenty years,” he added.
