“Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese has announced that Canberra will be expelling the Iranian ambassador and legislating to list Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist group. Albanese says the move is because an assessment by the intelligence agency ASIO has concluded that Iran used ‘a complex web of proxies’ to orchestrate two antisemitic arson attacks in Australia in order to ‘undermine social cohesion and sow discord.’ As you might expect, not one shred of evidence has been provided for this assertion, much less the giant mountain of rock-solid proof required for intelligence agency credibility in a post-Iraq invasion world. This hasn’t stopped the Murdoch press from going ballistic and framing the assertion as a ‘bombshell revelation’ of an established fact.” (08/27/25)
