Australia Sanctions Iran's Guard Over Alleged Terror Plot

Australia has imposed sanctions on Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The government accuses the powerful military force of planning attacks on Jewish sites in Sydney and Melbourne. The Australian government stated the IRGC organized reconnaissance and planned acts of terror against its Jewish community. Officials described the group's alleged activities as a calculated threat to citizens. These new sanctions target a specific branch of the IRGC, known as the Quds Force, which handles overseas operations. The measures aim to disrupt the group's activities and signal that such plotting is unacceptable. Authorities have not reported any physical attacks resulting from the alleged plan. The sanctions reflect growing international concern over the IRGC's foreign operations.
