Eshagh Ghalibaf, the son of Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran's parliamentary speaker, has forged extensive ties to Australia over the past decade. Despite his father's controversial history, including leadership roles in Iran's military and police, Eshagh obtained long-term residency and rental income from Australian properties. His residency raises questions about Australia's immigration policies and sanctions compliance, particularly against individuals linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which was only recently designated a state sponsor of terrorism by the Australian government. Critics, including Dr. Kylie Moore-Gilbert, have expressed concerns over the potential security threats posed by allowing relatives of Iranian officials to reside in Australia, particularly to the Iranian-Australian community. Eshagh's attempts to secure permanent residency in Canada were unsuccessful, leading him to focus on Australia, where he also worked as a research assistant at the University of Melbourne. The situation has prompted calls for a reevaluation of Australia's visa processes for individuals connected to the Iranian regime, especially in light of recent diplomatic tensions.
