Mossad Exposes Iranian Plots to Attack Israeli Embassies in Europe

Israel's Mossad has revealed the foiling of multiple Iran-backed terror attacks against Israeli embassies across Europe including Belgium and Sweden.

According to Mossad's statement, with just two months until the Paris Olympics 2024, Iran is accused of fostering terrorism on European soil. It is alleged that Iran has commandeered European criminal networks to execute its directives, involving violent acts like grenade attacks and shootings at Israeli embassies.

The recent findings are part of an extensive intelligence operation that spanned multiple European countries, involving close cooperation between Mossad, the Intelligence and Special Task Force, and the General Security Service. Their efforts have reportedly led to the discovery of major criminal organizations operating under instructions from Iran, aiming to inflict harm on identified Israeli targets.

An incident last weekend saw two grenades thrown at the Israeli embassy in Belgium, fortunately resulting in no casualties or damage. The event mirrored a similar attempt in Stockholm earlier this year, where a grenade aimed at the Israeli embassy failed to detonate.

The investigation has put a spotlight on the Swedish criminal organization Foxtrot and its leader Rua Majid, who worked under Iranian guidance. Majid, a fugitive operating from Iran, has been implicated in orchestrating attacks targeting Israeli and Jewish entities across Europe.

The use of criminal proxies by Iranian terrorist organizations is a strategic move to minimize direct political backlash while promoting acts of terrorism while Iran continues its proxy war against Israel. Despite the tactics, Mossad's collaborative efforts with global security agencies have repeatedly exposed Iran's involvement, thwarting numerous planned attacks and highlighting the ongoing threat posed by such operations.

Last year, Mossad chief David Barnea revealed the agency had foiled dozens of Iranian plots against Jewish and Israeli targets across the world from South America to Europe.
