Anthony Albanese is speaking to ABC radio Melbourne, where he is asked how Iran did what ASIO and the government are accusing it of.

I’m reluctant to go into too much detail about how that occurred, but what the intelligence agencies and the AFP have been able to do is to trace the connections between people and how it occurred from overseas right through to Australia, using criminal elements here in Australia to engage in what is an incredibly dangerous act of aggression orchestrated by a foreign nation on Australian soil.

Why does Anthony Albanese think Iran did this?

There are two motivations, clearly, anti-Semitism, that’s very much a part of the ideology of the leadership of Iran. But secondly, also, it’s clearly aimed at disharmony in Australia, about it’s an attack on our social fabric, on and on who we are. And so it’s very clear from the advice that we received from ASIO that both the Lewis Continental Kitchen in Sydney and the Adass Israel synagogue there in Melbourne were arisen from Iran, from the Iran Revolutionary Guard, and that is been working in concert with criminal elements, both overseas and here domestically.
