Iran's ambassador to Australia, Ahmad Sadeghi, departed the country following an order from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. The expulsion came after Australian authorities accused Tehran of orchestrating two antisemitic arson attacks in Sydney and Melbourne. The Australian government cut diplomatic ties with Iran, with Sadeghi being told to leave before the allegations were made public. Officials have not disclosed the evidence behind the accusations, and the head of Australia's security agency stated that no Iranian diplomats in Australia were directly involved in the attacks.
