Assistant Foreign Affairs Minister Matt Thistlethwaite has claimed there is “no sympathy” for the Iranian regime amongst Australians. “Australia has offered support to the United States to ensure that Iran cannot acquire a nuclear weapon,” Mr Thistlethwaite told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell. “This is a regime that’s breached the human rights of its citizens, it’s murdered its people, it’s exported terrorism to the region and, unfortunately, it was involved in an antisemitic attack on Australian soil. “So, I don’t think any Australians have sympathy for the Iranian regime.”
