Allies condemn Iran 'plotting' in US, Europe, Australia
The 22-nation statement said Iranian security services used criminal groups to target dissidents, journalists and Jewish communities overseas.
- A coalition of 22 countries, including Norway, issued a joint statement condemning "lethal plotting" and "malign actions" by Iranian agents, demanding an immediate halt to Tehran's illicit activities targeting dissidents, journalists, and Jewish communities across Europe, North America, and Australia.
- The condemnation follows evidence linking Iranian security services to the shadowy group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya , which officials described as "deplorable" for claiming responsibility for attacks in Belgium, the Netherlands, and France.
- Australian authorities previously traced funding for a Melbourne synagogue arson attack to Tehran, while New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters condemned the "state-sponsored" attacks but did not expel the Iranian Ambassador as Australia did in August.
- Amid escalating conflict in the Middle East, US President Donald Trump warned that Tehran would "pay the price" for stalled peace talks, citing the downing of a US helicopter patrolling the Strait of Hormuz.
- Signatories declared they are "together resolved to undertake further measures" to halt these threats, with nations including Albania and France emphasizing a collective determination to protect their citizens against Iranian operations undermining national sovereignty.
