By targeting Jews and not just Israeli installations, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps makes it clear that this is an Islamic jihad against Jews, as per Qur’an 9:29, and not a conflict based on some geopolitical considerations.
“Cyprus thwarts Iranian attack on Israeli, Jewish targets – report,” by Lahav Harkov, Jerusalem Post, June 25, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Cyprus thwarted a planned Iranian terrorist attack on Jews on the island state, local news reported on Sunday.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps planned the attack, which was stopped in cooperation between Cyprus and Western partners.
Those partners are likely the US and Israel, according to Phile News….

And yet our current US President, continues to work with Iran and begs them for oil. Meanwhile the Iranian Government continues to build Nukes. US so-called-leadership needs to wake up.

I don’t know enough about the island to know if it was in the area with which you are concerned. I hope these news articles help you feel better, in any case.

But I have a cousin in Athens also, so still concerned.

GE, you are welcome. Sorry it isn’t more helpful. It does look like these were targeted attacks and not randomly picked. A certain individual and Jews.
