22 Nations Jointly Warn Iran Over Alleged 'Deadly Plots' on Foreign Soil
Suddenly, 22 countries, including the United States and various European nations, issued a warning to Iran on Thursday (11/06/2026). They have called on Tehran to cease attacks against individuals within their respective territories.
Citing AFP, the warning pertains to the activities of Iranian security agencies, specifically the intelligence wing of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its external operations branch, the Qud Force. These entities are believed to be involved in “deadly plots and defamatory actions” across Europe, North America, and Australia.
“Attempts to kill, kidnap, harass, intimidate, or attack people on our soil undermine national sovereignty and international norms. These actions must stop immediately,” the nations stated in a joint declaration. “We are united in our determination to protect our countries and our people from these threats. The Islamic Republic of Iran must cease these actions now.”
The nations also accused Iran of being behind a campaign of attacks throughout Europe targeting Jewish communities, Iranian journalists, and US journalists, allegedly carried out by the group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (HAYI), which is linked to Iran. The group, known as the Right Hand Islamic People’s Movement, has claimed responsibility for attacks targeting Jewish communities in the United Kingdom, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
HAYI reportedly claimed responsibility for the stabbing of two Jewish men and a series of arson attacks on synagogues and community centres in North London over recent months.
Meanwhile, Australia expelled the Iranian ambassador to Australia in August last year, accusing Tehran of orchestrating at least two antisemitic attacks, including the arson of a synagogue in Melbourne and the burning of a halal cafe in Sydney. Canberra also withdrew its ambassador to Iran and suspended operations at its embassy in Tehran.
In November, Australia designated the IRGC as a state sponsor of terrorism. The nation described the alleged attacks in Australia as “dangerous and unprecedented acts of aggression by a foreign state on Australian territory.”
Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated at the time that Australia’s decision was an “insulting and unjustifiable act” that violated international rules and norms.
The detailed statement was issued by Albania, Australia, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Bulgaria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, and Finland, alongside Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, and the United States.
