Summary
University of Melbourne Professor Abbas Rajabifard refutes claims of collaboration with Irans parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, following an unauthorized article listing both. Rajabifard denies any work or links with Ghalibaf or former Revolutionary Guard members, attributing a Tehran University visit to a guest seminar. The university is addressing foreign interference risks, while Australias government urges universities to sever ties with Iranian entities over human rights and security concerns.
