Australia bans Iranian visa holders from entering the country for six months

Australia's Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke announced a six-month ban preventing Iranian citizens with tourist visas from entering the country, citing national interest amid conflict in Iran. The ban affects up to 7,200 Iranians with valid tourist visas currently outside Australia. Exceptions include Iranian citizens already in Australia, spouses and children of Australian citizens, and case-by-case exemptions for parents of Australian citizens.
