Iran Targeting Jewish Communities World-Wide

Iran Targeting Jewish Communities World-Wide

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard continues to execute terror plots against Jews and Jewish communities around the world.

In Australia Iran used criminals-for-hire to firebomb the Lewis’s Continental Kitchen kosher food outlet at Bondi Beach in Sydney on October 20, 2024 and the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne on December 6. 2024. Criminals from Australia and “offshore” were also responsible for a van discovered on January 19, 2025, filled with plastic explosives with a list of Jewish targets and a note saying “Fuck the Jews” inside. New South Wales State Police and Australian Federal Police kept the discovery secret for ten days after that. Police believe that plot was intended to sow fear rather than damage property or take Jewish lives. Some media outlets in Australia and abroad labeled it a “fake terror plot,” as if sowing terror isn’t the point of terrorism.

In late October of 2026 the director-general of the Australian Security Intelligence Organization, or ASIO, Australia’s top intelligence and counter-intelligence agency, warned Australian journalist Sharri Markson the IRGC had targeted her personally. ASIO director-general Mike Burgess said former Victorian Liberal Party president Michael Kroger had also been identified on an Iranian intelligence target list.

“We know he was targeted, we saw his details on a to-do list. He’s on a target list,” he told News24.

Burgess said Kroger’s strong support for Israel and the Jewish community made him a target of the regime’s anti-American and anti-Israel agenda. Sharri Markson is also outspoken in her support for the Jewish community in Australia.

In the United Kingdom Iran organized the deadly knife and gun attack on the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in north Manchester on Yom Kippur on October 2, 2024. Iran was behind the torching of the ambulances belonging to the Jewish charity Hatzola Northwest in London on March 23, 2026. Iranian operatives were behind the near-fatal stabbings of two Jewish men in Golders Green on April 26, 2026. Seven people were arrested in the UK over the incident at the Fairford RAF airbase near Gloucester used by US bombers after three suspicious vans were stopped near the location on September 27. British and American authorities have linked that incident at Fairford to an Iranian operative acting from behind bars while in federal custody in New York City.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard is believed to be actively recruiting jihadists and criminals for attacks against Jews, synagogues and Jewish institutions across the EU from Belgium to the Czech Republic, from Spain to Germany, and apparently as far away as Australia and the Americas. The IRGC is also carrying out computer hacking attacks both against the United States and non-belligerents in the American-Iranian conflict, ruining commercial freezers and large quantities of food in grocery stores in France, Estonia, Belgium and at least four other EU countries, according to the French security services.
