FM Sa’ar says Iranian plot to attack Israelis in Cyprus was thwarted
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar accuses Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of plotting to attack Israelis on Cyprus, hours after the arrest of a terror suspect on the Mediterranean island.
“Thanks to the activity of the Cypriot security authorities, in cooperation with Israeli security services, the terror attack was thwarted. Israel thanks Cyprus for its swift and effective actions,” Sa’ar writes in a post on X.
He also accuses Iran’s “criminal regime” of “deliberately targeting Israeli civilians both in Israel and abroad.”
“Israel will continue to act to remove the existential threat posed by the Iranian terror regime,” Sa’ar adds.
