Tehran’s Desperate Lie: Iranian General Claims Mossad Planned the Sydney Massacre

Iran's regime, the world's leading sponsor of terrorism that arms and directs terrorists worldwide has sunk to new depths of depravity by accusing Israel's Mossad of orchestrating the deadly antisemitic attack at Sydney's Bondi Beach Chanukah celebration, where a father-son terror duo inspired by ISIS murdered 15 Jews and wounded dozens. Iranian Army Chief of Staff Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi claimed without a shred of evidence that Israel stages attacks on Jews abroad to "instill fear" and spur migration to the Jewish state, alleging the regime has a history of such false flags to portray itself as a victim. Speaking at a military cadets' graduation in Tehran, Mousavi declared the Sydney shooting proved Israel had "committed suicide," a vile inversion of reality as Australian authorities confirmed the gunmen's ideological ties to ISIS, with flags found in their vehicle and no foreign state involvement.

This shameless propaganda from Tehran, home to a government that funds Hezbollah assassins and IRGC plots against Jewish targets worldwide, comes as no surprise, it's the same playbook used to deny Hamas's atrocities while celebrating them privately. Australian police swiftly identified the attack as ISIS-motivated terrorism, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemning it as "evil antisemitism and terrorism." The gunmen, Sajid Akram, 50, and Naveed Akram, 24, fired into a crowd of 1,000 families for up to 10 minutes before police neutralized them, killing one and critically wounding the other. Yet Iran's top general peddles conspiracy theories echoing Holocaust denial, ignoring how his regime's proxies like Hamas glorify such violence.

The accusation fits Iran's pattern of exporting Jew-hatred: from arming Hamas terrorists who raped and burned families on October 7 to directing attacks on Jewish sites via Hezbollah and IRGC networks. While Israel buries victims of real terror, including hostages like Hadar Goldin held dead for 11 years, Tehran's lies aim to deflect from its role in fueling global antisemitism, up 400% since October 7 per FBI data. Australia's Jewish community, reeling from the deadliest attack on its soil in decades, deserves truth, not Iranian blood libels that embolden more killers.
