European security services are investigating suspected Iran-linked attacks on synagogues, Israeli sites, and opposition groups.
Germany’s domestic intelligence agency has warned that Iran could expand covert operations across Europe once fighting with the U.S. and Israel subsides, raising fears of attacks on Jewish targets, Israeli institutions, and opponents of the Tehran regime.
The Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV) said Iranian dissidents and other individuals regarded by Tehran as “traitors” would face particular danger if the regime increases its intelligence and proxy activities across the continent.
One BfV official told Euractiv that the service is monitoring individuals based in Germany who have travelled to Iran for military training, or otherwise “placed themselves in the service” of the Iranian authorities.
Intelligence agencies across Europe have also been investigating a growing wave of attacks on Jewish and Israeli-linked sites believed to be connected to a shadowy Islamic network suspected of acting as an Iranian proxy. The incidents have largely involved arson, vandalism, and small improvised explosive devices targeting synagogues, Jewish charities, and Iranian opposition organisations.
Separately, EPP MEP Tomáš Zdechovský reported on Tuesday morning that several police forces across the European Union have uncovered “a vast online network of accounts and websites spreading propaganda linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.”
This group, the IRGC, was only designated as a terrorist organisation by Brussels in January this year, following Tehran’s deadly crackdown on mass protests.
Zdechovský said the authorities had “succeeded in removing thousands of links” and blocking the organisation’s main account on X (formerly Twitter).

The UK and Canada allow Iranian migrants that are IRGC members. What could go wrong?
Way to be on the ball, Germany. What’s next? A warning about disgruntled Viennese painters?
Germany’s “Phase Two”? Target the Jews but blame the Iranians?
If Germany thinks this, then they should do something about it. Instead they will take this opportunity to blame Trump and the USA.
What part of 1400 years of Islam atrocities and current headlines don't our leaders get?
Islam is a murderous terror organization, which should be opposed as were the Nazis.
Food for thought: Appeasement is a diplomatic strategy. It involves making concessions to an aggressive foreign power in order to avoid war. It is most commonly associated with British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, in office from 1937 to 1940. In the 1930s, the British government pursued a policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany. Today, appeasement is usually regarded as a failure because it did not prevent World War II.
Hoe lee crap! Super intelligence agency stuff right there. And plenty of possible perps too.
I did Nazi that coming.
Canada and the EU now do not “oficially” admit migrant IRGC members, but do admit mullahs and Iranians as long as they don’t admit to being IRGC members. There are some who have gloated on social media that they actually are IRGC members.
They may also target, Germans, Poles, French, British, Spanish, Italians, Swedes, Finnish.......
> Islam is a murderous terror organization, which should be opposed as were the Nazis. <
Correct. And right after 9/11 George W. Bush had a unique opportunity to crush radical Islam. The entire civilized world was with us.
A firm and brutally clear response was needed, much like how FDR responded after Pearl Harbor.
Instead, Bush told us “Islam is peace.”
We are paying for Bush’s stupidity now. And I fear we will be paying much more in the future.

What would you have done to “crush radical islam.”
Lots.
I have little doubt you are right.
Along with Belgians and Swiss.
> What would you have done to “crush radical islam.” <
Well, since you asked…
Step 1: Clearly identify the problem. And declare war.
That’s something FDR did after Pearl Harbor.
And something W refused to do.
Step 2: Identify and shut down every mosque in the US that has even the smallest whiff of radicalism. Deport the leadership.
Just like how FDR shut down the German-American Bund.
Step 3: Punish al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
Make the rubble bounce. And quietly put Saudi Arabia on notice.
None of that ridiculous “nation-building” crap.
Just like how FDR shut down the German-American Bund.
And interned the Japanese-Americans.
Your question really got me thinking. So permit me to add something to Step 1 of my post #18.
A public information campaign would also be needed. Make it clear that a “religion” that preaches death to the infidels, death to anyone who draws a picture of Mohammed, etc. - that’s a religion deserving of close scrutiny.
Such a campaign would have to be handled delicately, and with great care. It would also be necessary.
