Iran Linked to Canada Attacks | Vancouver News

Iran may be orchestrating attacks in Canada through local criminal networks, according to a new intelligence report obtained by Global News. The Integrated Threat Assessment Centre suggests it’s a “realistic possibility” that Iranian intelligence is targeting Canada’s Jewish community and other Iranian/Israeli interests. While no specific incidents are named, the report links recent shootings—including at a Toronto synagogue and U.S. consulate—to a militia tied to Iran. U.S. prosecutors allege the group is a front for Kata’ib Hizballah, and a suspect arrested in May boasted about planning those attacks. Toronto police have also identified a pattern of “criminals for hire” involved in synagogue and Jewish school shootings, with foreign involvement suspected. Though Canadian authorities haven’t officially blamed Iran, the intelligence points to Tehran’s intelligence services as a likely orchestrator, echoing past patterns of Iran targeting dissidents abroad. Canada and allies have condemned these alleged plots, blaming Iran’s intelligence apparatus—despite severed diplomatic ties since 2012, with recent debate emerging over the drawbacks of no embassy in Tehran.
