The brief

The head of ASIO has revealed that IRGC agents resided in Australia while directing attacks on Jewish targets in Sydney and Melbourne. This includes the Bondi firebombing, which the spy chief states was orchestrated by an Australian citizen working as a spy for Iran.

Coverage from Reuters, Bloomberg, and the Financial Times emphasizes a degrading security environment and rising threats from Iran-backed terrorism and cyber attacks.
