Israel has publicly identified a senior Iranian military officer it claims directed a series of attacks on Jewish communities, including two incidents in Australia that led to the expulsion of Iran’s ambassador and the suspension of Australia’s embassy operations in Tehran.
Intelligence agency Mossad pointed to Sardar Ammar, a senior commander in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as the person behind coordinated attacks in Australia, Greece, and Germany, the office of the Israeli prime minister said in a statement issued on Oct. 26.
