Mossad Claims Iranian Regime Orchestrated Terror Plots Across Europe and Beyond

Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad has accused the Iranian regime of orchestrating a covert global campaign to attack Jewish and Israeli targets in multiple countries, including Germany, Greece, and Australia. According to Mossad officials, the operation was directed by Sardar Ammar, a senior IRGC Quds Force commander reportedly operating under the direct supervision of General Esmail Qaani, the head of Iran’s elite expeditionary wing.

The claims mark a serious escalation in the shadow war between Iran and Israel — one that has increasingly spilled over from the Middle East into Western nations. Mossad’s statement alleges that the IRGC used hired criminals and foreign operatives to execute attacks, carefully designed to obscure Tehran’s direct involvement. “The strategy was clear,” one Israeli source said. “Hire outsiders, hide the trail, and maintain plausible deniability. But the pattern was unmistakable.”

Covert Network Exposed

According to the intelligence gathered, the Iranian network sought to ignite synagogues, Jewish community centers, and Israeli-linked facilities across Europe. In Germany, a man suspected of spying on Jewish institutions in Berlin was recently detained, prompting Berlin to summon Iran’s ambassador for an explanation. Meanwhile, in Greece, authorities foiled a plot last year that targeted an Israeli restaurant in Athens — an incident now linked to the same IRGC-run network.

In Australia, the plot went even further. Intelligence agencies reportedly uncovered plans to attack Israeli diplomatic and business interests. In response, Canberra expelled Iran’s ambassador and began the process of blacklisting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization — a move that would align Australia more closely with U.S., U.K., and Canadian policy.

“Plausible Deniability” Ends

Mossad’s statement, issued through Israeli government channels, declared that Iran’s “plausible deniability” is over. The agency claimed that dozens of terror attempts were disrupted through close coordination among Western and allied intelligence services. “Iran thought it could operate in the shadows through proxies and criminals,” a Mossad officer reportedly said, “but we have exposed the network, its command chain, and its financiers.”

The Israeli intelligence community has long accused Iran of using covert terror operations to target Israeli citizens and Jewish communities worldwide. The new revelations suggest a more organized, transnational campaign — one that has now triggered diplomatic backlash across several continents.

Diplomatic Fallout and Strategic Implications

Iran has yet to issue an official response, but the allegations come at a time when Tehran faces increasing isolation over its nuclear ambitions, support for proxy groups like Hezbollah and the Houthis, and suspected cyberattacks on Western infrastructure. Analysts believe Mossad’s public disclosure serves a dual purpose: to warn Iran and to rally international support for designating the IRGC as a global terrorist entity.

Western intelligence officials privately confirmed that Israeli intelligence had shared critical data leading to the arrest or surveillance of suspects in at least three countries. “Without Mossad’s coordination,” one European counterterror officer said, “several attacks would likely have succeeded.”

A Warning of Severe Retaliation

In closing its statement, Mossad issued a stark warning: any attack on Jewish or Israeli citizens anywhere in the world will draw a severe and direct response. The message underscores Israel’s growing willingness to strike Iranian assets abroad in retaliation for covert aggression — a policy shift visible in recent years across Syria, Iraq, and even inside Iran.

As European capitals tighten security around Jewish institutions and reassess their diplomatic posture toward Tehran, one thing is clear: the battle between Israel and Iran’s shadow networks has gone global — and the world’s intelligence agencies are now on high alert.
