This was reported by "the Guardian".

Speaking on ABC’s Insiders on Sunday, the director general of security in charge of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation said he could think of “at least three or four [countries] that are we’ve actually actively found involved in foreign interference in Australia and diaspora communities”.

Foreign interference and espionage were key security concerns for the national intelligence and security agency, he said, with a range of countries, including Iran, caught attempting to threaten and intimidate diaspora communities.

Iran was able to be identified publicly because the federal minister had already done so, Burgess said.

This year the former cybersecurity minster Clare O’Neil revealed that Asio had disrupted the activities of individuals conducting surveillance in the home of an Iranian-Australian.
