Ahmad Sadeghi served as Iran's Ambassador to Australia. In September 2025, the Australian government expelled him — the first ambassador-level expulsion by Australia since World War II — after the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) assessed that the IRGC had directed two antisemitic arson attacks in Sydney and Melbourne. The expulsion marked a significant escalation in Australia's response to Iranian intelligence activities on Australian soil and drew widespread international attention as a historically unprecedented diplomatic action from Canberra.
