SAEDNEWS: Australia has decided to expel Iran’s ambassador after accusing Tehran of being behind two 'antisemitic' attacks in the country last year.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has criticized Australia’s decision to expel Tehran’s ambassador over allegations it organized "antisemitic" attacks in the country, saying Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is a "weak" leader who appeases Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“I am not in the habit of joining causes with wanted War Criminals, but Netanyahu is right about one thing: Australia’s PM is indeed a ‘weak politician’,” Araghchi wrote on the social media platform X on Tuesday.
He said Iran was home to one of the world’s oldest Jewish communities, with “dozens of synagogues,” and rejected accusations that Tehran was behind attacks on Jewish sites in Australia. “Accusing Iran of attacking such sites in Australia while we do our utmost to protect them in our own country makes zero sense,” he said.
“Iran is paying the price for the Australian people’s support for Palestine. Canberra should know better than to attempt to appease a regime led by War Criminals. Doing so will only embolden Netanyahu and his ilk,” Araghchi added.
Australia announced the expulsion of Iran’s ambassador earlier today, accusing Tehran of orchestrating two antisemitic attacks in Sydney and Melbourne last year. Iran has denied involvement.
