Sweden: Iranian Intelligence Agents Allegedly Targeted Swedish Jewish Leader for Murder

Swedish news outlets are reporting that in 2021, an Iranian man and an Iranian woman, posing as Afghan refugees, were taken into custody suspected of planning to carry out murders of certain Swedish Jews, including the chairman of the Jewish Central Council, Aron Verständig.

The below article from Fria Tider is translated by Fousesquawk.

We are working on a separate Swedish video from SVT in which it is revealed that this is likely just the tip of the iceberg as far as such Iranian operatives in Sweden are concerned.

Iranian agents suspected of planning murder of Swedish Jews

Domestic: A pair of agents from Iran's military intelligence service allegedly mapped out three Jewish targets in Sweden in 2021, according to Ekot (Swedish National Radio). However, there was insufficient evidence for charges.

The Iranian couple-Mahdi Ramezani and Fereshteh Senaeifarid- were given asylum in Sweden in 2017 as Afghans.

This was in spite of the fact they submitted false IDs, and the Migration Agency was alerted that the man, in fact, was an Iranian who worked for the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. The Migration Agency's language analysis also raised questions as to their claimed Afghan origin.

The duo was arrested in April 2021 in the Stockholm area, suspected of conspiring to (commit) a terrorist crime. They are suspected of having been given the assignment of planning a murder attack in Sweden.

The three intended targets were all Swedish Jews, whom the couple gathered information about. One of them was Aron Verständig, Chairman of the Jewish Central Council, according to Ekot.

"Very uncomfortable," says Aron Verständig to Ekot.

The couple was taken into custody on reasonable cause and denied wrongdoing, but no charges were brought.

"There was a plan of action. There were contacts with Iran. Then exactly how that would be carried out against the targets, that was where we failed to gather this necessary evidence that had been a basis to be able to bring charges," says Prosecutor Hans Ihrman to Ekot

En lieu of charges, the couple was deported to Iran during 2022 on grounds they were viewed as a serious security threat against Sweden.

Ekot has sought out Iran's embassy and the suspected couple for comment without success.
