There have been a string of Iranian terror plots against Jews worldwide, and they have been accelerating. Their preferred method is to hire local criminals to give them plausible deniability.
The Mossad says that they have helped thwart some 50 plots against Jews and Israelis worldwide, half of them since October 7 2023.
Here are some of these plots:
Last week it was revealed that there was an Iranian assassination plot against Jewish human rights expert Irwin Cotler in Canada.
Earlier this month, the US Justice Department issued charges against an IRGC asset named Farhad Shakeri who directed multiple plots against Jews and other Americans, including Donald Trump. He said he was offered $500,000 to assassinate either of two Jewish Americans.
Greek authorities foiled an Iranian plot against a Jewish center and kosher restaurant in Athens this year that was intended to kill as many people as possible.
Also this year, German and French authorities uncovered an assassination plot against a Jewish lawyer in Berlin, and at least a half dozen other Jews and Israelis.
In June 2023, Cypriot authorities foiled a plot from northern Cyprus to attack Jews and Israelis.
In February 2023, the UK announced that Iran is hiring criminal gangs in the United Kingdom to spy on Jews in preparation for a potential assassination campaign.
In 2022, Germany charged a man with an Iranian plot to firebomb a synagogue.
In 2018, US authorities arrested two Iranians who collected information on Jewish targets in Chicago.
In October 2014, a Hezbollah operative was caught in Peru before his attempts to carry out attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets,.
Iran was behind the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish center in Argentina, which killed 85 people.
In December 1986, Iranian backed Hezbollah abducted and killed three Lebanese Jews.
These are only the ones I could find that were public. I am not even beginning to list the many Iranian plots against Israeli embassies or prominent individuals throughout Europe and elsewhere. I'm only listing the plots and attacks against Jews themselves.
Sadly, people still believe the fiction that Iran is not antisemitic, but merely anti-Israel.
