Israeli intel helped Australia uncover Iran’s role in antisemitic attacks – report
|
[IsraelTimes] Sky News Australia says Israel gave investigators lead on a firebombing, noting it shows intelligence-sharing still strong despite diplomatic spat between Jerusalem and Canberra
A tip from Israeli intelligence helped Australia in its investigation of Iran’s orchestration of two antisemitic attacks carried out last year, Sky News Australia reported Wednesday, citing anonymous sources.
The Australian Security Intelligence Organization had already determined that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was behind the attacks on a Sydney kosher restaurant and Melbourne synagogue, both late last year, the network reported.
But Israeli intelligence gave ASIO a lead connected to one of the Molotov cocktailings, the report said.
According to the report, the tip indicated that the intelligence relationship between Israel and Australia remains strong, despite a major diplomatic spat between Jerusalem and Canberra.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese accused 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. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
on Tuesday of being behind the attacks on Jewish sites. He said Australia will designate the IRGC as a terror group and expelled Tehran’s ambassador.
Canberra’s order for Iranian Ambassador Ahmad Sadeghi to leave within seven days was its first such expulsion of any foreign ambassador since World War II. Sadeghi was seen preparing to leave the country on Thursday, heading for a flight out of Sydney.
The Australian government told Sadeghi that he would be expelled shortly before making the accusation public, Albanese said.
Albanese previously resisted calls to expel Iran’s envoy to Canberra before, analysts said, including in 2024 when Sadeghi was summoned for meetings with foreign ministry officials over his social media posts.
Australia said on Tuesday that Iran sought to disguise its involvement in two 2024 attacks, at the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne and a kosher restaurant in Sydney, by using criminals and members of organized crime gangs.
According to a Wednesday report, bungling criminals twice targeted the wrong Sydney venue before eventually torching the restaurant.
Australia’s intelligence agency also said it traced to Iran the funding of criminals who allegedly set fire to the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne in December, even as those charged with the crime were likely unaware Tehran was their puppet master.
Australia’s spy chief Mike Burgess said a series of "cut outs," an intelligence term for intermediaries, were used to conceal Iran’s involvement in the attacks, and warned that the country may have orchestrated others.
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.
Israeli intelligence has a history of tipping off foreign counterparts when it has information that could help them thwart attacks on their soil.
In 2017, Israeli intelligence informed ASIO of a plot to bomb an Etihad Airways flight from Sydney, Sky News Australia noted.
