Iranian regime has plotted to kill Jews overseas, including philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy

The Iranian regime has launched dozens of plots to kill its perceived enemies abroad, including Jews, among them the French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy, according to a report in The Washington Post.

The Iranian regime dramatically intensified its targeting of overseas figures after the United States assassinated a top general, Qassem Soleimani, in 2020, the report posted Thursday said, citing 15 unnamed officials in the United States, Europe and the Middle East as well as documents its reporters have seen.

According to the report, the regime has since 2020 shifted from identifying and tracking targets for possible attack should there be an intensification in tensions between the West and Iran, to launching plots, which one expert said so far number 36. Many of the attacks do not come to fruition, because they are thwarted by authorities in the targeted countries, or because the designated assassins choose not to carry them out.

Last summer, Israeli officials warned Israelis not to travel to Istanbul, saying that Israeli and Turkish authorities had recently thwarted Iranian-backed terrorist attacks.
