Iran’s Quds Force Linked To Antisemitic Attacks
July is a month to remember in the annals of Iranian-inspired terrorism against Jews.
On July 18, 1994, a massive explosion tore through the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, killing 84 people and wounding more than 300, in the deadliest antisemitic incident since the Holocaust. Israel and Argentina blamed Iran and its proxy, Hezbollah, for the blast.
It occurred two years after the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires was bombed, killing 29 people and wounding 242 in the worst assault on an Israeli diplomatic office abroad. Hezbollah, under the direction of Iran, is widely believed to have carried out the bombing.
On July 18, 2012, a bus carrying Israeli tourists in Burgas, Bulgaria, was targeted by a terrorist affiliated with Hezbollah. Five Israelis and one Bulgarian were killed.
Fourteen years on, this problem lingers on.
Last week, the British government accused an Iranian surrogate, the Islamic Movement of Companions of the Right, of orchestrating a wave of attacks against European Jews. These attacks have occurred since the outbreak of the war in Iran on February 28.
The Islamic Movement of Companions of the Right supposedly takes its orders from the Quds Force, an arm of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. Qassem Soleimani was the commander of the Quds Force until his assassination. He, along with Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes, the commander of Kata’ib Hezbollah, an Iranian-sponsored Shiite militia in Iraq, were both killed by a US drone strike in Baghdad in January........
