Australia to restrict entry to some Iranian visa holders

ABC - The federal government will temporarily restrict some Iranian visitor visa holders from entering the country for six months, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has announced.

The government said "the conflict in Iran has increased the risk that some temporary visa holders may be unable or unlikely to depart Australia when their visas expire".

In the Middle East, several countries confirmed they were targeted by Iranian drone and missile strikes across the region.
