Iran Is Using Organized Crime to Do Its Dirty Work in Europe

While Iran has been weakened considerably by the decimation of Hizballah, the collapse of the Assad regime, and the U.S. assault on the Houthis, its nuclear program is not its only tool for making mischief. On March 12, the State Department announced sanctions on Foxtrot, a mafia-like organization based in Sweden with tentacles throughout northern Europe. Foxtrot sent a few teenagers to attack the Israeli embassy with hand grenades and guns in October of last year, and it appears to have been hired to do so by the Iranian government.
