Iran is most likely not responsible for the recent attack at Bondi Beach, according to emerging evidence. Israel has attributed the attack to Iran, but analysis of a Facebook post reveals that one of the attackers, Naveed Akram, studied "Tajweed" (Quranic Linguistics) under a "Salafi" teacher, a group that typically opposes Iran.

This connection can be substantiated by examining the titles of books visible in the background of the post, which are authored by well-known "Wahhabi" scholars, including Bin Baz and Al-Uthaymeen. These findings suggest that the motivations behind the attack may not align with Iranian interests.
