Australia’s listing of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a state sponsor of terrorism is “an unjustified and insulting action,” Iran’s foreign ministry says in a statement, shared on its Telegram channel.

“This irresponsible action is in line with the gross error that the Australian government committed based on completely false and fabricated accusations by the security institutions of the Zionist regime,” the statement reads.

Australia in August accused Iran of directing two antisemitic arson attacks in the cities of Sydney and Melbourne and expelled Iran’s ambassador.
