Australia's Ambassador to Iran Ian McConville has left the country, while the consular section of Iran's embassy in Canberra remains operational and is trying to provide services to Iranian nationals in Australia despite imposed limitations, Khabar Foori quoted Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei as saying.
Baghaei described Canberra's expulsion of Iranian ambassador as "unjustified" and said it "affects the two nations' ties."
Last Tuesday, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in a press conference accused Iran of directing antisemitic attacks in Australia and announced that Sadeghi had been told to leave the country. Three other Iranian officials had also been expelled from Australia.
