(Kathimerini) The Cypriot police arrested two Iranians last month, alleging their connection to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards of Iran (IRGC), targeting Jewish citizens in Cyprus. The individuals are currently in custody, with a deportation warrant. This marks the third incident in the last two years, bringing Cyprus back to the forefront of terrorist activities.
The first incident occurred two years ago, involving the arrest of an Azeri with a Russian passport, allegedly acting on behalf of the Revolutionary Guards. The second incident was last June when a terrorist act was prevented on the territory of the Republic of Cyprus. The successful prevention of a terrorist act this time is attributed to the close cooperation of Cypriot security services with their Western counterparts.
