Iran Behind Attacks on Jewish Targets in Germany
(Washington Post) Loveday Morris - In November, a hooded figure fired three bullets at the Old Synagogue in the German city of Essen. According to German and other Western intelligence officials, the orchestrator of the attack was Ramin Yektaparast, a biker gang leader who now lives in Iran, who directed attacks through his criminal networks in Germany at the behest of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The attacks are part of an uptick in Iranian regime activity aimed at Jewish targets as well as the Iranian diaspora in Germany.
