Iran has been known to target Israelis and Jews in Europe. Its terror network operates around the world. According to written evidence submitted by the Community Security Trust in the UK:
Antisemitism and extreme anti-Israel activity are commonly found in Iranian foreign policy filtered down from the highest echelons of the Iranian republic. This has repeatedly involved deadly terrorist attacks against Jewish communities and Israelis worldwide.
The regime is infamous for using proxies to achieve its deadly missions, so it is not farfetched that Iran would employ criminal gangs to target Jews and Israelis.
Days ago, the UK government sanctioned the “Swedish-based criminal network,” known as the “Foxtrot Network,” along with its leader, “citing the group’s role in attacks carried out on behalf of Iran against Israeli and Jewish targets across Europe.”
CNN reported last week that “Iran’s shadow war with Israel is ensnaring Swedish teens” to “target Israeli interests.” The teens are members of Muslim gangs in Sweden.
The International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT), based in The Hague, warned last year that “Iranian state actors make extensive use of criminals as proxies – from international drug traffickers to low-level crooks,” in a “trend seen across Europe.” The ICCT cited the UK as one example; MI5 Director General Ken McCallum “revealed that since January 2022, authorities contended with twenty Iranian-backed plots targeting UK citizens and residents.”
Iran’s activities are global, and although it has seen a significant weakening of its proxies Hizballah and Hamas and has lost a key ally, Bashar al-Assad, it apparently is still ramping up its overseas operations on Western soil, while, of course, maintaining its denial that it engages in such activity at all.
An update on this story. “Iran rejects UK accusation of links to Swedish criminal gang,” Reuters, April 16, 2025:
LONDON, April 16 (Reuters) – Iran on Wednesday rejected a British accusation that it was connected to the Sweden-based criminal gang known as ‘Foxtrot’ after Britain’s government had earlier this week sanctioned the group saying it had committed attacks on behalf of Tehran.
On Monday, Britain said Foxtrot had attacked Israeli and Jewish targets across Europe for Iran. It did not specify which attacks it was referring to.
“The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran categorically rejects the allegations connecting the Iranian government to the activities of a Swedish-based criminal gang, known as Foxtrot,” a statement from the Iranian embassy in London said.
Britain imposed an asset freeze on the Foxtrot group and an asset freeze and travel ban on Rawa Majid, who the government said was in charge of the gang.
The Iranian embassy said it had submitted a protest to the British government, and that Britain had failed to provide credible evidence in other similar cases….

Of course iran denies it. But, the iranian government is made up of the worst of liars. when things go in their favor, or seem to, they brag about such things as mozlums murdering and carrying out other crimes.
But they will lie even after the cows come home if it suits their evil.
And OT….there is a new report that all single males entering Germany will be deported.
Tony Rice says

They could be right, if the muslim gang in question was sunni. In which case, it would probably be the doing of Turkey or Kuwait

This is daily life with Islam and its Muslims, terrorism and discrimination as taught in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:5,29,111 and more).
Islam, a Terrorist-Criminal Enterprise, and its predatory believers continually fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, supremacy, segregation, hatred, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Quran, and Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Americans and Westerners(Quran 9:5,29; 49:15; 60:4 and more).
Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam is a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) fighting against Non-Muslims and NOT A PEACEFUL religion under Western Law because Islam funds, teaches, and promotes Terrorist Criminal Organizations with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah(Quran 9:5,29; 49:15 and more).
Under Islam and Islamic Law, Muslims have the Legal Right and the Quranic Duty to terrorize Non-Muslims because neglecting this QURANIC DUTY is a Crime against Allah. Jihad means warfare against Non-Muslims to ESTABLISH ISLAM’S RELIGION(Quran 3:151; 9:5,29,111; Muslim Law Manual: “Reliance of the Traveller”, o9.0 and more).
More specifically, Islam, a terroristic-destructive way of life, is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Murderous, Criminal Enterprise of intolerance, continuous war, discrimination, segregation, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, propaganda, deceit, hatred, incitement, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran(Quran 2:216; 4:65,89,95; 5:14,64; 8:12,39,74; 9:5,21,29,36, 41,49,73,88,111,123; 21:92; 49:15; 60:4 and more).
