Iranian Officials Behind a Global Terror Network
2025-10-27
Text:

New intel identifies IRGC officer Sardar Amar, commander of an 11,000-strong Quds Force unit, as the man behind attempted attacks on Jewish and Israeli targets in Australia, Greece, and Germany (2024-2025).

Amar built a “fingerprint-free” terror network, recruiting foreigners and criminal elements to hide Iran’s role.

The result: a wave of arrests, expelled Iranian diplomats, and growing global isolation for Tehran.

Iran’s reach is global, but so is Israel’s intelligence.

The Times of Israel adds:
The network carried out vandalism and arson attacks against Jewish businesses and communal institutions, Mosssd
...sees all, knows all, gets 'em all in the end...
said, "aiming to intimidate communities and create conditions that could lead to more serious attacks."

Sardar’s network also planned attacks against senior Jewish communal figures, it said.

Mossad pointed to three particular incidents tied to the network, among several more it uncovered in cooperation with foreign intelligence agencies.

In July 2024, Greece’s anti-terrorism police arrested seven people, including two Iranians, over separate arson attacks against an Israeli-owned hotel and a synagogue in central Athens earlier that year.

In July of this year, German prosecutors said that Danish police had arrested a man suspected of gathering information on Jewish locations and individuals in Berlin for Iranian intelligence. He spied on three properties in June, "presumably in preparation for further intelligence activities in Germany, possibly including terrorist attacks on Jewish targets," prosecutors said.

The next month, Australia blamed Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
for involvement in two 2024 arson attacks, at the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne and a kosher restaurant in Sydney, using criminals and members of organized crime gangs. Canberra also expelled Iran’s ambassador, and said it would list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terror organization. It marked the first time Australia has expelled an ambassador since World War II.

In order to hide Iran’s involvement, Mossad said, the network recruited non-Iranians, used criminal gangs, and insisted on a high degree of compartmentalization.

The attacks were generally seen by intelligence agencies as amateurish and bumbling, The Times of Israel has been told. For example, criminals twice targeted the wrong Sydney venue before eventually torching the kosher restaurant in 2024.

Iran has a long track record of sowing violence against Jewish and Israeli targets abroad, including over the last two years, as its proxy terror groups in the Middle East have battled Israel on the ground.

Among the many examples: Swedish teens who tried to attack the Israeli embassy in Stockholm on Iranian instructions, three German synagogue attacks planned by a biker gang leader working for the IRGC, and planned attacks at Jewish sites in Cyprus by IRGC members in recent years.

In July, 14 countries, including Britannia, the US, and La Belle France, condemned what they called a surge in liquidation, kidnapping, and harassment plots by Iranian intelligence services.

"We are united in our opposition to the attempts of Iranian intelligence services to kill, kidnap, and harass people in Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
and North America in clear violation of our illusory sovereignty," the countries said in a joint statement.

The governments — including Albania, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, La Belle France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the UK, and the US — called on the Iranian authorities to immediately stop such illegal activities.

Since early 2022, Britannia says it has disrupted more than 20 Iran-linked plots to kidnap or kill individuals in the UK, including British nationals and others Tehran views as threats.

A report released in July by the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom said Iran is increasing its efforts to carry out attacks against Jewish targets in Europe, utilizing local proxies, such as the Foxtrot and Rumba gangs in Sweden, and other criminal networks in the UK, Germany, La Belle France, and Belgium.
