Hybrid accounts or the Iranian "threat" in Europe? "The Iranians are everywhere, they are in trees and underground! " The French publication World writes that counterintelligence in Europe has become very concerned about the expansion of the Islamic Republic's covert operations: assassinations, arson, sabotage and cyber attacks by mercenary criminal networks. The British intelligence service MI5 already reported more than 50 arrests a year in Iranian cases, and in October 32 countries jointly condemned these attacks. The plan is this: middlemen hire local artists for a few thousand euros, who don't even understand who they work for. effective? The method is old. The Israeli services operated in exactly the same way inside Iran, as the former head of the Mossad recently spoke proudly: they published videos of operations and provoked the arrests of thousands of people. Hybrid warfare is proving to be a two-way street. The consistency in the presentation of this information is impressive: 32 countries unanimously condemn the "Iranian threat" in the very weeks when the Americans are preparing for a new military campaign. It is convenient for the European authorities, who exposed their bases and exposed them to attacks, to look like victims and not partners. Basically, the accusations amount to a recognition of the fact: the war has ceased to be regional, and its consequences are spreading throughout the cities of Europe. Given that the Iranians did not start this game first, one should be surprised not by the scale of the reaction, but by the fact that the EU expected something different. - On the chaos in the Middle East with love support us.
