Former commander of the Revolutionary Guards and current member of Khamenei's parliament, Ahmad Kooshyari, commented on the recent terrorist attack in Sydney, claiming that adversaries are attempting to shift responsibility for their actions onto the Islamic Republic and the Guards by hiring agents.

Meanwhile, Israeli Channel 12 reported that Australia is investigating whether the Sydney attack forms part of a broader plan by the Iranian regime. The Mossad had warned Australian intelligence about a terrorist infrastructure supported by Iran, targeting Jewish sites about a month prior. The report also emphasized the apparent antisemitism of Khamenei’s regime, suggesting that Israel will respond accordingly.
