(Times of Israel) Iran is increasing its efforts to carry out attacks against Jewish targets in Europe, as well as ramping up its persecution of minority religions, including Jews, within the Islamic Republic, according to a report by the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF).
Following the 12-day military conflict in June between Iran and the United States and Israel, Iranian authorities have increased arrests, executions, and discriminatory policies against minorities like Baha’is, Jews, Christians, Sufis, and Sunnis and other non-Shi’a Muslim groups, according to the report, released Tuesday.
The government is also engaging local proxies in Europe, such as the Foxtrot and Rumba gangs in Sweden, and other criminal networks in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Belgium, to target Jews and Jewish sites in those countries, it said.
