Iran Recruited Swedish Teens for Attacks on Israeli, Jewish Targets
(Jerusalem Post) Iran is using criminal gangs in Sweden to target Israeli and Jewish interests, CNN reported on Monday. According to Sweden's Security Service (SAPO), at least four known attacks or attempted attacks were directed at the Israeli embassy in Stockholm in 2023 and 2024, including shootings and an attempted bombing, with several suspects under the age of 18. Swedish police and prosecutors say these youth are being manipulated by criminal gangs acting on behalf of Iranian intelligence units. In January 2025, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said, "Iran is using organized and violent criminal gangs to carry out serious attacks within Sweden."
