Conversation with Joe Trusman of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy writing at Long War Journal.

I'm John Batchel.

What I learned from Joe is Ashab al-Yamin, a new group in Europe attacking Jewish institutions, but others as well, across a broad landscape from Scandinavia to Britain,

in London, on to other capitals. This appears to be an Iranian front hired. These are petty

criminals being caught. The pattern is wherever there is vulnerability. It hasn't so far led to casualties. However, it has

potential, and at one report mentions radioactive material used in a drone that was not launched.

The name is made up. It's Iran acting as a threat to all of Europe while it fends off the U.S. and Israel in the region.

Here's Joe to explain what we know so far and the breadth of their attacks, even though they've all failed,

is a reason to believe they'll keep coming. More tonight.

Right. So that's correct uh this is

occurring over several countries uh as you as you mentioned um you know it's it is i would say it is

uh being noticed uh by especially by the media in europe uh it is being noticed by european authorities

they do understand this.

What's going on?

Now, again, this is not only Jewish sites, Jewish institutions that this group, the so-called group is attacking.

It's gone after Western targets.

It's true.

Even a Christian, pro-Israel Christian center in the Netherlands. There was an attack there. And

separately, when I said Western targets, a bank in Paris, this group warned this bank in Paris,

a Bank of America in Paris, actually, to stop dealing with Israel and the military and the Israeli military.

That's the way they framed it.

Nevertheless, yeah, the Europeans have noticed it.
