Australian police charge a third person in connection with an arson attack on a Melbourne synagogue. Multiple outlets report that counter-terrorism investigators have brought the new charge following an earlier investigation into the firebombing. The allegations are tied to claims by Australian political leaders that Iran directed the attack. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese previously accused Iran of orchestrating the synagogue fire, and also referenced an earlier arson attack in Sydney on a kosher eatery in the period before. The Jerusalem Post and other reports state that the allegations about Iran’s role include a broader set of incidents, which Australian officials say contributed to diplomatic action, including the expulsion of Iran’s ambassador. The West Australian adds that investigators are also assessing whether the third charged man was aware of any alleged Iranian orchestration. Across the coverage, police say the Melbourne synagogue arson is the focus of the new charge, while reporting varies on the specific stage of the inquiry into knowledge and involvement. The reports do not provide the suspect’s identity or further details of the alleged direction beyond the Iran-linked allegation.
