Iran is behind a string of terror attacks on Israeli embassies by criminal networks in Europe since Oct 7, Mossad intelligence agency official says.
The agency opened up investigation alongside Euro counterparts after an explosive device, said is a hand grenade, was found inside grounds of the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm in January & destroyed by Swedish national bomb squad.
After interrogating suspects & examining forensic evidence, investigators concluded that Foxtrot organized crime ring in Sweden was behind the attack, at Iran’s behest, according to the Mossad.
Foxtrot leader Rawa Majid — known as “the Kurdish Fox” — has been working with Iran for mths, Israel alleges. He was recruited by Iranian agents after he fled to Iran from Turkey in September of last year, pursued by international law enforcement and Iraqi security forces.
He was arrested by Iran and recruited to plan a string of attacks in Europe against Jewish and Israeli targets, according to the Mossad.
There have been dozens of Iran-backed terror plots against Jewish & Israeli targets uncovered in recent months, says the Israeli agency, many of which used local criminal networks.
On May 17, Swedish police heard gunshots late at night near Israeli embassy. They detained a 14-yr-old boy in connection to shooting & made known to the Israeli embassy was the target.

That shooting was carried out by the Rumba crime group, said the Mossad, headed by Majid’s rival Ismail Abdo and also directed by Iran.
“Iran operates many criminal organizations in Sweden and Europe in general, while taking advantage of the relative advantage of each and sometimes the rivalry between them,” says the Israeli official.
Foxtrot and Rumba receive funding and direction directly from Iran, the Mossad alleged, and are closely monitored by European intelligence.
The spy agency also accuses Iran of trying to take advantage of rising antisemitism in Europe while avoiding direct responsibility for attacks.
The fight, battle and even war: between Iran and Israel.
Behind attacks on Israeli embassies in Europe, Mossad charges is saying is back by Iran.
