UK sanctions Iran-linked Swedish gang for violence against Jewish, Israeli targets

2025-04-17

[IsraelTimes] Britain bans entry, freezes assets of Foxtrot and its leadership, a month after similar move by US which cited criminal group’s part in thwarted January 2024 Israeli embassy attack

Britannia has sanctioned the Swedish-based Foxtrot criminal network and its leader, Rawa Majid, over "their involvement in violence against Jewish and Israeli targets in Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
on behalf of the Iranian regime," UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy said Monday.

The sanctions, which the UK Foreign Office said would include travel bans and asset freezes, come a month after the US State Department slapped sanctions on Majid and Foxtrot, citing their part in a thwarted attack on Israel’s embassy in Stockholm in January 2024.

In a written statement, Lammy accused Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate ~~Jews~~ ~~Zionists~~ Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
of using "criminal gangs across the world to threaten people."

He said the sanctions are part of Britannia’s "ongoing response to Iranian hostilities in Europe," which has seen Westminster sanction "450 Iranian individuals and entities, in response to the regime’s human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
violations, nuclear weapons program and malign influence internationally."

Iran is sworn to Israel’s destruction and promotes that aim through a network of Middle East proxies that includes Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements.

Last month, Britannia said all people working in the country for Iran, its intelligence services or the Revolutionary Guard would have to register on a new list or face jail.

Iran became the first country to be placed on a stricter Foreign Influence Registration Scheme (FIRS
...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies...
), which aims to boost the UK’s national security against covert foreign influences.

The measures, which will come into effect later this year, will make failure to register a criminal offense, with a potential maximum sentence of five years in jail.

According to the UK government, British authorities have responded to more than 20 Iran-backed plots since 2022, which presented potentially lethal threats to British citizens and residents. Since 2020, Western security agencies have foiled at least 33 Iranian plots against Western officials as well as Jewish and Israeli targets in Europe and North America, according to court documents reviewed by Rooters.

said Foxtrot, acting on behalf of Iran, was behind an bomb discovered and destroyed by law enforcement at the Israeli embassy in Stockholm that January. According to Mossad, Iran has been behind a string of terror attacks by criminal networks on Israeli embassies in Europe since the Hamas onslaught of October 7, 2023, which sparked the war in Gaza and triggered a spike in antisemitism around the world.

Mossad’s Swedish counterpart Säpo confirmed the statement, saying Iran has for years carried out security-threatening activities inside Sweden.

The Israeli spy agency said at the time that Majid, the Foxtrot leader also known as the "Kurdish Fox," had been working with Iran for months. He had fled to Iran from ~~The Sick Man of Europe~~ Turkey
