As part of the “renewed maximum printing campaign” on Iran, the Swedish criminal pageant of the US sanctions with connections to the Iranian regime sanctioned

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Wednesday that the United States decided to attack Foxtrot, a Swedish transnational criminal organization, which has connections to the Iranian regime and last year behind an attempt to attack the Israeli embassy in the Swedish capital Stockholm.

“The Iranian regime used the Foxtrot network to carry out attacks on Israeli and Jewish goals in Europe, including the Israeli embassy in Stockholm, Sweden, in January 2024,” said the US State Department.

It also added that the sanctions against the Foxtrot network part of the “renewed pressure campaign” of the maximum pressure “of the Trump government against the Iranian regime and stressed Washington” commitment, those people and organizations that work in connection with the regime in Tehran, to undermine the security and security of our global partners and our global partners and our global partners.

The criminal organization is led by Rawa Majid, a Kurd born in Iran with two Swedish and Turkish citizenship, which is known as a “Kurdish fox” due to its ability to avoid justice. Majid, who is sought by the Swedish authorities, is said to hide somewhere in Turkey.

Foxtrot is still involved in various criminal activities such as weapons and drug trafficking, which has led to an increase in violence, shootings and attacks, especially in Sweden and other Northern European countries.

The Israeli secret service already warned last May that the Iranian regime Foxtrot and other criminal gangs use to attack Israeli and Jewish goals throughout Europe.

“Iran generally runs many criminal organizations in Sweden and Europe and uses the relative advantage of everyone and sometimes the rivalry between them” warned. The common denominator for these gangs is that they are led by people with a background in the Middle East.

Last October, A The European report confirmed that Iran employs criminal gangs Attack Jews and Israelis in Europe. In contrast to attacks on the militarily powerful Jewish state, which runs at a high price, Tehran sees attacks on Jews and Israelis abroad as relatively risk -free goals, especially if they are carried out by criminal gangs.

However, Jews and Israelis are not the only goals. Last year, the Swedish security service SAPO reported that the Iranian regime also uses criminal gangs to attack Iranian dissidents in Sweden and in other European countries.

“Iran previously applied violence in other countries in Europe to remain silent and perceive the threats to its own regime,” said Säpo. “To carry out these safety -threatening activities, the Iranian regime has occasionally used criminal networks.”

Sweden, which used to be a country with very low crime rates, has turned out to be an important hub for transnational crime networks such as Foxtrot in recent years. This development is the result of a large -scale immigration from the Middle East to Sweden and the comparatively simple access to illegal arms across Europe.

Last December it became known that Iran often employs minors to carry out terrorist attacks all over Europe. This development is probably due to the fact that the punishments in Sweden and other European countries were out of the question to minors.
