Summary
A joint statement released Wednesday by the U.S., Australia, European allies and other countries accused Iran-backed groups of plotting to kill Iranian dissidents, journalists and Jewish communities on their soil.
The countries said the threats involved the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Intelligence Organization, the Quds Force and Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security, and demanded that Tehran halt the actions immediately.
They also cited a recent wave of attacks across Europe claimed by the pro-Iranian group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya, broadening the warning beyond alleged assassination plots.
The statement framed attempted killings, kidnappings, harassment and intimidation as violations of national sovereignty and international norms, signaling a coordinated allied response to Iranian operations abroad.
