'Israel' claims Iran attempted to target 'Israelis' in Cyprus
'Israel' has accused Iran’s Revolutionary Guard of attempting to carry out an attack against 'Israeli' citizens in Cyprus.
'Israeli' Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar claimed on X that the plot was foiled thanks to cooperation between Cypriot and 'Israeli' security agencies.
He provided no further details, and there was no immediate response from Iranian officials.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps – the terror arm of the Iranian regime – tried to carry out an attack on Israeli citizens in Cyprus.

Thanks to the activity of the Cypriot security authorities, in cooperation with Israeli security services, the terror attack was thwarted.…
The announcement comes hours after Cypriot authorities confirmed the arrest of a British national on suspicion of terrorism and espionage.
Local media reported the suspect had been monitoring a British RAF base in Akrotiri and a Cypriot military base since mid-April.
Authorities have not confirmed whether the suspect is linked to the alleged Iranian plot.
