Reports: Foxtrot pays for attacks against Iranian regime critics
Swedish authorities are investigating links between the Foxtrot network and a recent attack on the Iranian embassy in Oslo, amidst rising threats against critics of the Iranian regime.
Amid the ongoing conflict in Iran, Sweden's Security Police (Sรคpo) has issued warnings concerning potential attacks against Israeli, Jewish, and American interests, as well as against critics of the Iranian regime. Recent intelligence suggests that an attack on the Iranian embassy in Oslo over the weekend might be connected to the Foxtrot network, prompting further investigations. The authorities believe that there is an active risk to both Israeli interests and Iranian dissenters associated with this network.
Reports indicate that Rawa Majid may be a key figure under suspicion in these investigations. Current operations are underway in Stockholm and the western region of Sweden, targeting violent activities linked to the Foxtrot network, particularly focusing on information that suggests tasks may be coordinated via the encrypted messaging service, Signal, by this group. This development highlights the international implications of the ongoing tension between Iran and its critics abroad, especially in Sweden.
The Swedish Security Police acknowledged the possibility that Iran could utilize criminal networks to carry out its objectives against opposition figures. They outlined that there is a substantial threat level directed at key Iranian opposition groups and individuals in Sweden, who are viewed as threats by the Iranian regime, thereby raising concerns among law enforcement and intelligence agencies about the safety of these individuals during this volatile period.
