In a concerning threat against Jews outside of Israel, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office said “this was an act of terror that was orchestrated by Iran against Israeli businesspeople living in Cyprus.” Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz also said stated that it was Iranian terror.
The only limits that ever impede jihadists are finances and the strength of their opposition. In the world of Biden’s weakened America, the worst enemies of freedom are feeling free to escalate their operations. In terms of financing, the Iran Deal that Joe is eager to re-enter will enable billions to flow into the coffers of Iran and its proxies.
Meanwhile, we have seen this before. In an incident from 2012, “Israel accused Lebanon’s Hezbollah guerrillas and Iran… of plotting to attack its citizens in Cyprus.”
Iran’s hatred for Israel is timeless, but its growing power heightens the threat. Israel has now issued a warning to “its missions around the world of a possible Iranian terror threat.”
“Israel said to alert embassies worldwide of possible Iran threats,” Times of Israel, October 7, 2021:
Israel has warned its missions around the world of a possible Iranian terror threat, a television report claimed on Wednesday, following the arrest of an Azeri national over an alleged plot to assassinate one or more Israeli businesspeople in Cyprus.
According to Channel 12 news, Israeli diplomats across the globe have been told to remain on high alert.
The network also said three suspects in the foiled attack attempt in Cyprus, revealed earlier this week, are suspected of fleeing the island nation. The channel did not cite a source for the information.
Iran has been behind repeated threats against Israelis and Israeli missions around the world over the years. In March of this year, the National Security Council warned Israelis they could be targeted by the Islamic Republic abroad. It said Iran was behind a bombing attack near the Israeli embassy in India in January, which did not cause casualties.
The Israeli government has blamed “Iranian terror” for last week’s reported plan to kill billionaire Teddy Sagi in Cyprus….
“Israel says ‘Iranian terror’ targeted Israeli businesspeople in Cyprus,” Times of Israel, October 4, 2021:
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s office on Monday blamed “Iranian terror” for last week’s reported assassination attempt against Teddy Sagi in Cyprus, saying that the Israeli billionaire wasn’t targeted personally, and that the failed hit was not a criminal affair.
“Regarding some of the reports last night about the incident in Cyprus, I would like to clarify, on behalf of the security establishment, that this was an act of terror that was orchestrated by Iran against Israeli businesspeople living in Cyprus,” Bennett’s spokesman Matan Sidi said in a statement, implying there were other targets in addition to Sagi. He did not provide more details.
“This wasn’t a criminal incident, and businessman Teddy Sagi wasn’t the [specific] target of the attack,” he added.
Defense Minister Benny Gantz also alluded to the incident on Monday, and reiterated the claim that it was linked to Iranian terror.
“As was publicized recently, an Iranian attack against Israeli targets in Cyprus was foiled,” said Gantz during a Blue and White faction meeting in the Knesset. “Iran continues to be a global and regional threat, as well as a challenge to Israel, and we will continue to operate in order to protect our citizens and the State of Israel anywhere from any threat.”…

These sort of attacks will only increase now that the Iranian terror network is being funded by the American taxpayers via sleazy Joe.
