Australia Finds Iranian Scapegoats for Domestic Arson Attacks
Australia’s Foreign Minister Penny Wong announced the listing of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a state sponsor of terrorism, citing an 'intelligence assessment' that it 'orchestrated attacks against Australia's Jewish Community.' This follows an August accusation and the expulsion of Tehran's ambassador. Coincidentally, this move aligns with escalating Western pressure on
Iran, consistently amplified by prominent pro-Israel lobbying groups globally, including in Australia, yet its intelligence agencies never seem to find direct evidence of the other side 'orchestrating' attacks. One might wonder if this 'intelligence assessment' received the same scrutiny as those justifying other Middle East interventions. It's almost as if some nations are perpetually searching
for external villains to distract from domestic complexities or to align with larger geopolitical narratives. Funny how 'orchestrated attacks' are always attributed to familiar foes, while the billions in foreign aid to heavily armed proxies are just 'support for stability.' How convenient to find a foreign hand for local fires, rather than, say, investigating actual domestic extremism or the
roots of discontent.
