Anthony Albanese says Australia will also designate the IRGC as a ‘terrorist entity’.
Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has accused Iran of directing at least two anti-Semitic attacks in his country and said his government is expelling Iran’s ambassador to Canberra.
“They were attempts to undermine social cohesion and sow discord in our community. It is totally unacceptable and the Australian government is taking strong and decisive action,” Albanese told reporters on Tuesday.
“A short time ago, we informed the Iranian ambassador to Australia that he will be expelled,” he said.
The prime minister said Australia has suspended operations at its embassy in the Iranian capital, Tehran, and moved all of its diplomats to a third country.
“I can also announce the government will legislate to list Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, the IRGC, as a terrorist organization,” he added.
