How Iran Infiltrated Australian Protests: Claire Lehmann on Terror, Naivety, and the Left
How Iran Infiltrated Australian Protests: Claire Lehmann on Terror, Naivety, and the Left
Spoken by Quillette founder Claire Lehmann, this video explores the disturbing revelations about Iranian-backed terrorism on Australian soil—and how naïve alliances between Western progressives and Islamist extremists have created a moral blind spot.
After antisemitic arson attacks in Sydney and Melbourne were traced to operatives funded by the Iranian regime, the Australian government expelled Iran’s ambassador and moved to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organisation. Yet despite these threats, prominent Australian politicians—including Bob Carr and Clover Moore—marched alongside known extremists, some even displaying portraits of Ayatollah Khamenei.
How did this happen? How did the Left become entangled with one of the world’s most dangerous theocracies?
Claire Lehmann explains how this ideological confusion began with the 1979 Iranian Revolution—and why we must now confront uncomfortable truths about moral clarity, extremism, and the real cost of political theatre.
📌 Watch to understand how protest can become a proxy for terror—and why we must demand better from our leaders.
