Australia expels Iranian envoy, suspends embassy in Tehran

TEHRAN, Aug. 26 (MNA) – Australia has declared Iran’s ambassador in Canberra “persona non grata” and ordered him and three other Iranian diplomats to leave the country within seven days, while also suspending its own embassy operations in Tehran.

Australia has accused Iran, citing unfounded claims, of inciting anti-Jewish attacks in Sydney and Melbourne. The Australian government declared Iran’s ambassador in Canberra a persona non grata and gave him, along with three other Iranian officials, a seven-day deadline to depart the country.

Additionally, the Australian Prime Minister announced the suspension of his country’s embassy activities in Tehran and relocated its diplomats to a third country.
