Iran-backed attack plan targeting Israelis in Cyprus thwarted

·

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar announced Saturday, June 21, that a planned Iranian-backed attack on Israeli citizens in Cyprus was thwarted, crediting close cooperation between Cypriot and Israeli security services.

“The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps – the terror arm of the Iranian regime – tried to carry out an attack on Israeli citizens in Cyprus,” Sa’ar posted on X.

“Thanks to the activity of the Cypriot security authorities, in cooperation with Israeli security services, the terror attack was thwarted.”

He thanked Nicosia for its “swift and effective actions” and warned that Iran continues to target Israeli civilians both domestically and abroad.

“Israel will continue to act to remove the existential threat posed by the Iranian terror regime,” he added.
