Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced that Australia is cutting diplomatic ties with Iran and expelling its diplomats, following accusations that Iran orchestrated two arson attacks on Jewish institutions in Australia last year. The attacks targeted Lewis' Continental Kitchen in Sydney and the Adass synagogue in Melbourne, with no reported injuries. Australian security agencies have linked the incidents to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, which will now be designated as a terrorist organization by Australia. The announcement was made at a news conference attended by top government officials, marking a significant escalation in Australia's response to foreign interference.
