Australia accuses Iran of directing antisemitic attacks on cafe and synagogue
Australia has accused Iran of directing antisemitic attacks on a cafe and synagogue in Sydney. The incidents occurred last week in the Bondi Beach area, a popular spot for locals and tourists.
According to Australian officials, the attacks were carried out by individuals with links to the Iranian government. The Prime Minister of Australia, Scott Morrison, condemned the actions as “unacceptable and abhorrent.” He called on Iran to take responsibility for the attacks and ensure that such incidents do not happen again.
Iran has denied any involvement in the attacks, with a spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry stating that the accusations are baseless and politically motivated. The Iranian government has called for a thorough investigation into the matter to determine the true perpetrators of the attacks.
The Australian Jewish community has expressed concern over the rise in antisemitic incidents in the country. They have called for increased security measures to protect Jewish institutions and individuals from further attacks.
The accusations come at a sensitive time in the diplomatic relations between Australia and Iran, with tensions already running high over various issues. The Australian government has stated that it will continue to investigate the attacks and will take appropriate action based on the findings.
