Iranian plots of assassination, kidnapping and espionage!
From the BiBiC:
...No arrests have been made, but the Met said the investigation is looking at an Islamist group with potential links to Iran which has claimed responsibility for a number of similar arson incidents across Europe...
...Earlier on Tuesday, Met Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor told BBC Radio 4's Today programme these type of incidents had a "huge impact on Jewish communities".
He said the Iranian-backed plots disrupted in the UK since October 2024 had included "everything from assassination, to kidnap, to espionage".
He said the possibility the attack was backed by Iran was one line of inquiry and police were working to determine the motivation of the attackers.
Iran-aligned group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya - The Islamic Movement of the People of the Right Hand - made an unsubstantiated claim of responsibility for the attack on its Telegram channel.
The group has also claimed responsibility for recent incidents in Europe, including an attack on a synagogue in Liege, Belgium, and explosions in the Netherlands targeting a synagogue in Rotterdam and a Jewish school in Amsterdam...

"I won't dignify the attacker's words by repeating them, they are horrific and vile."
