Suspect in court for Melbourne synagogue arson attack Australia says ordered by Iran
2025-08-27
[IsraelTimes] A man charged with setting fire to a Melbourne synagogue appears in court over an attack Australia says was orchestrated by Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence.

appeared for the first time via video link at Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday in connection with the attack on the synagogue in December 2024, that gutted the building and destroyed sacred texts, causing millions of dollars in damage.

His lawyer, Mark Aouad, declined to comment on the case, that is scheduled to return to court on December 4.

Police have already charged two alleged accomplices.

Canberra is the latest Western government to accuse Iran of carrying out hostile covert activities on its soil. Last month, 14 countries, including Britannia, the US, and La Belle France, condemned what they called a surge in liquidation, kidnapping, and harassment plots by Iranian intelligence services.
