Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Iran orchestrated at least two attacks on Australian soil, including incidents at Melbourne’s Adass Israel Synagogue and Lewis’ Continental Kitchen. ASIO, Australia’s domestic intelligence agency, warned that further attacks may have been directed by Iran. Albanese described the actions as “extraordinary and dangerous acts of aggression” aimed at undermining social cohesion.
