Iran rejects allegations of being responsible of two anti-Jewish attacks
(MENAFN) Iran’s Foreign Ministry rejected on Tuesday Australia’s allegations that Tehran was involved in two anti-Jewish attacks in the country, according to reports.
At a weekly press briefing in Tehran, spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei dismissed claims by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese that Iran was responsible for the arson of a kosher café in Sydney last October and a major attack on a synagogue in Melbourne last December.
Commenting on Australia’s decision to expel Iranian Ambassador Ahmad Sadeghi, Baghaei said, “Naturally, any inappropriate and unjustified action at the diplomatic level will receive a reciprocal reaction. This is a new development. My colleagues are considering the issue to decide about the response of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
He also noted that over the past two weeks, “we witnessed million-strong demonstrations in Australia in protest to the killing of people in the occupied Palestinian territories,” adding that some Australian politicians had “in a rare move” issued minor criticisms of Israel’s actions.
