Diplomatic Strain: Australia and Iran's Tense Relations

The relationship between Australia and Iran has entered a tense phase as bilateral ties are officially downgraded. According to the semi-official Tasnim News Agency, Tehran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei confirmed that Australia's ambassador has departed from Iran.
This diplomatic fallout follows Australia's recent expulsion of Iran's ambassador, a move driven by allegations that the Islamic Republic orchestrated two antisemitic arson attacks in Sydney and Melbourne.
The reciprocal downgrading of diplomatic relations marks a significant escalation in tensions as both nations grapple with the implications of these serious accusations.
