00:00Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese accused Iran of organising at least two anti-Semitic attacks in Australia
00:09and said his country would call diplomatic ties with Tehran in response.
00:14According to Albanese, Iran directed arson attacks at a kosher food company in Sydney and a synagogue in Melbourne.
00:23It's likely Iran directed further attacks as well. These were extraordinary and dangerous acts of aggression orchestrated by a foreign nation on Australian soil.
00:38They were attempts to undermine social cohesion and sow discord in our community.
00:46It is totally unacceptable and the Australian Government is taking strong and decisive action in response.
00:53The Iranian ambassador to Australia, Ahmed Sadegi, was expelled and Australian diplomats to Iran were moved to a third country.
01:01Australians in Iran were urged to strongly consider leaving as soon as possible, if it is safe to do so.
