“Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was responsible for the regime’s ballistic missile and nuclear program, support for armed proxies and its brutal acts of violence and intimidation against its own people,” Albanese tells reporters.
“He was responsible for orchestrating attacks on Australian soil. His passing will not be mourned.”
