The United States and several European allies have issued a joint statement condemning what they describe as increasing threats from Iran targeting dissidents, journalists, Jewish citizens, and officials in Europe and North America. The statement, signed by multiple NATO members and Austria, accuses Iranian intelligence services of collaborating with international criminal groups to carry out harassment, kidnapping, and assassination plots. The governments pledged to work together to prevent such attacks and called on Iran to immediately halt these activities. Recent incidents in Britain and Germany underscore the ongoing concerns about Iranian-backed operations in the region.
