Australia’s security agency, ASIO, revealed that agents of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) previously resided in Australia and subsequently directed attacks targeting Jewish communities in Sydney and Melbourne. According to ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess, an Australian citizen currently in Iran plotted a deliberate fire at a synagogue in Sydney. A former Australian resident, now believed to be operating under Iranian direction, allegedly led a similar attack in Melbourne. Burgess stated that Tehran views Australia as a “legitimate target” for covert operations. These findings indicate a deliberate and coordinated effort by Iran to conduct hostile activities within Australia. The ASIO director emphasized the seriousness of the threat and the agency’s ongoing efforts to mitigate it. These revelations raise concerns about foreign interference and the security of Jewish institutions in Australia.
