Mossad exposes Iranian terror cells in Australia, Greece, Germany

The ongoing international campaign against Iranian terror denies Iran its deniability, removes its immunity, and exacts heavy prices from it in the international political arena.

Amid Iran's ongoing attempts to advance terror against Israeli and Jewish targets worldwide, the Mossad revealed on Sunday for the first time those responsible for major thwarted attack attempts in 2024-2025 in Australia, Greece, and Germany.

Since October 7, Iran has significantly expanded its efforts to strike Israeli and Jewish targets worldwide. Through intensive Mossad activity together with intelligence and security agencies in Israel and abroad, dozens of attack attempts that Iran had advanced have been thwarted. These prevention operations saved many lives and enabled investigative and legal action against those involved in terror.

The extensive investigation efforts led to the exposure of key terror orchestrators in the Iranian regime who head the terror mechanisms, to the exposure of the operational methods they employ to advance attacks against innocent people, and to exacting a significant price from Iran in the diplomatic arena.

Sardar Ammar is a senior commander in the Revolutionary Guards who heads Unit 11,000 under the command of Esmail Qaani, commander of Quds Force. Under his command, a significant mechanism was established to advance attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets in Israel and beyond. This mechanism is directly responsible for the attempted attacks that were exposed in Greece, Australia, and Germany just in the past year. His many failures led to a wave of arrests and his public exposure.

Following the increase in Iranian terror activity and the arrests of Sardar Ammar's infrastructure, law enforcement authorities in Australia and Germany took sharp policy steps against senior Iranian officials. Among the steps: the expulsion of the Iranian ambassador from Australia and his designation as an undesirable person, and the summoning of the Iranian ambassador in Germany for a reprimand. These unprecedented steps were intended to send a clear message of zero tolerance for terror activity.

For years, the Iranian regime has viewed terror as a tool to exact a price from Israel while harming innocent people worldwide, without paying military, political, or economic prices. Under this logic, terror entities operate while maintaining deniability and disconnection between the violent activity and Iran.

The first-time exposure of Sardar Ammar's attack mechanism as standing behind the attack attempts in Greece, Germany, and Australia proves the mechanism's failed conduct and damages Iranian efforts to operate covertly under the radar. The ongoing international campaign against Iranian terror denies Iran its deniability, removes its immunity, and exacts heavy prices from it in the international political arena.
