❗️Shocking footage from the Bondi Beach shooting - Aussie Cossack

Adding:

Israeli media, citing "intelligence sources," are pushing the narrative that Iran is behind the Sydney terror attack.

The US has already responded.

"If the Australia attack was directed by Iran, Israel has full US legitimacy to strike Iran," a senior US source told Fox News.

From Iran:  

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei strongly condemns the violent Sydney attack, rejecting terrorism and the killing of innocents wherever it occurs.

More about this and Iran found:

IRAN IS LIKELY NOT INVOLVED IN THE BONDI BEACH ATTACK

Evidence suggests Iran is unlikely to be behind the Bondi Beach attack

Israel has publicly blamed Iran for the attack, but emerging details point in a different direction.

A 2022 Facebook post shows one of the attackers, Naveed Akram, studying Qur’anic recitation (tajwīd) under a Salafi teacher.

The photo provides several key clues:

1. The books behind him are clearly authored by major Salafi–Wahhabi scholars

You can see titles by Ibn Bāz, al-‘Uthaymīn, and other scholars associated with Saudi/Wahhabi Salafism, a sect that is openly hostile to Iran, Shia Islam, and the Iranian state.

2. His teacher is part of a Salafi institution

The instructor’s post praises Akram’s mastery of tajwīd according to classical Sunni methodologies commonly used in Salafi circles.

Taken together, the material points toward Sunni–Salafi ideological influence, NOT Iranian/Shia influence.

This doesn’t prove a motive, but it directly contradicts the claim that the attacker was acting on behalf of Iran, a state and religious tradition that Salafis typically view as heretical.

Adding:

There can be no justification for terrorism, Maria Zakharova said commenting on the situation in Australia.

The Russian Embassy in Canberra and the Consulate General in Sydney are verifying information about whether there are any Russians among the victims, Maria Zakharova added.
