Australian embassy to Iran evacuated as security deteriorates
Australian embassy staff in Tehran have been evacuated via road from the Iranian capital as the country's war with Israel escalates in a move that will make it harder to get other Australians out. Foreign Minister Penny Wong on Friday said she had received advice that Iran's security environment was deteriorating, which prompted the evacuation of staff. 'Australia's ambassador to Iran will remain in the region to support the Australian government's response to this crisis,' Wong's statement said. 'The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is deploying consular staff to Azerbaijan, including its border crossings, to support Australians departing Iran,' Wong said. The closure of the embassy and the swift evacuation of staff risks further criticism being directed at DFAT as thousands of Australians register for help out of Iran or Israel. Loading Wong's statement urged people to leave Iran if it was safe to do so. Those unable to leave were advised to shelter in place. 'At this stage, our ability to provide consular services is extremely limited due to the situation on the ground. The airspace remains closed,' the statement said. Families have become frustrated with DFAT as some accused the government response of being 'delinquent' as almost 3000 Australians have registered to be evacuated out of Israel and Iran. Some Australians have resorted to chartering ferries and private armoured cars to flee Israel while many in Iran struggle to make contact, let alone evacuate, because of limited internet access.

‘Criminal regime': Netanyahu calls Iran's leaders the ‘arch-terrorists' of the world
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Iran are the 'arch-terrorists' of the world during a visit to a hospital in southern Israel which was targeted by Iranian missile strikes. 'They are targeting civilians because they are a criminal regime,' Mr Netanyahu said. 'They're the arch-terrorists of the world; they want to have nuclear terrorism, which will put the entire world under nuclear blackmail, and they would use these weapons. 'We are in the process of achieving a tremendous victory.'
