Report Highlights Iran’s Worldwide Terrorist Modus Operandi
5th February 2021
Amid rising regional tensions, Iran continues to seek ways to target Israel and the United States abroad.
Iran deployed several agents to collect intelligence on the diplomatic missions of Israel, the U.S., and United Arab Emirates (UAE) in an undisclosed East African country ahead of a potential attack, Israel’s Kan News reported on Monday, based on insight from Western intelligence sources. The attack was foiled last month.
The report claimed that Iran sought to target the embassies in response to the January 2020 U.S. strike that killed Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Qassem Soleimani and November’s targeted assassination of senior nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, which was widely attributed to Israel.
Iran has previously threatened the UAE directly and condemned the Gulf state for normalizing diplomatic relations with Israel last summer.
