The nation’s top spy has used a major speech to warn there is a “realistic possibility” a foreign government will try to assassinate a dissident on Australian soil, saying ASIO believes “at least three” nations are willing and capable of carrying out such a plot.<\/p>\n

Australian Security Intelligence Organisation director-general Mike Burgess used the 2025 Lowy Lecture to reveal how the nation was facing an unprecedented number of threats to social cohesion, including Russian trolls, neo-Nazis, Islamists, extreme anti-Israel activists and hostile state actors.<\/p>\n

Mr. Burgess warned some nations wanted to “exploit fault lines in countries they consider hostile” \u2014 pointing to Iran’s foreign interference plot where it hired local criminals to carry out arson attacks<\/a>\u00a0on Jewish businesses and places of worship \u2014 saying some authoritarian regimes were showing a “growing willingness” to attempt “high-harm operations” in Australia.<\/p>\n

Grossi said<\/a>\u00a0in October that movement had been detected near Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile but that it did “not imply that there is activity on enrichment”.<\/p>\n
