Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has firmly dismissed suggestions that Australia’s decision to expel Iran’s ambassador and suspend reciprocal embassy operations was driven by pressure from Israel.
The comments come after revelations from the Australian Security and Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) directed two anti-Semitic attacks in Sydney and Melbourne.
