Show notes

An SBS News Investigation revealing alleged attacks on the Australian embassy in Iran, as well as an assassination plot against Australia’s then-ambassador in 2019, has been met with concern from some Iranian community members. They are calling on the Australian government to act in favour of its national security, re-voicing their demand to list a paramilitary branch of the Iranian armed forces as a terrorist organisation. This story has been produced in collaboration with SBS Persian.
