Sunrise host Nat Barr confronts Foreign Minister Penny Wong over failure to list Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as terrorists

Sunrise host Nat Barr has confronted Foreign Minister Penny Wong over her failure to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, despite being urged to do so more than two years ago. It comes in the wake of revelations that Iran was responsible for attacking Saudi Arabian oil facilities. The Australian government had hesitated to take action against the group, but pressure has been mounting for them to be officially recognized as terrorists. Nat Barr pressed Penny Wong on the delay in listing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, questioning why action had not been taken sooner. The issue has sparked debate over Australia’s stance on terrorism and how to address threats posed by organizations like the IRGC. Critics argue that failing to label the group as terrorists could have serious consequences for international security. The Australian government has been urged to reconsider its position and take a stronger stance against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
