Two Reports Highlight Regime’s Continued Targeting of Jews Worldwide |
ADL published new research documenting the Iranian regime's decades-long campaign of targeting Jewish communities worldwide through terrorism, propaganda and state-sponsored antisemitism.
In a report titled "Pro-Iran Terrorist Attacks Against Jewish Communities" documented attacks claimed by Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (HAYI), a previously unknown pro-Iranian regime group that emerged in March 2026. HAYI has claimed responsibility for violent attacks across Europe, including firebombed synagogues, explosive devices detonated near a Jewish school in Amsterdam, torched Hatzola volunteer ambulances in London and a foiled bombing outside Bank of America's Paris headquarters.
ADL also released a report titled "The Islamic Republic of Iran: Exporting Antisemitic Hate and Terror since 1979
," documenting how the regime has embedded antisemitism into its core identity for nearly five decades. The report details Iran's systematic persecution of its Jewish community, Holocaust denial as official policy and the orchestration of terrorist attacks against Jewish targets worldwide, including the 1994 AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires and recent IRGC-orchestrated arson attacks in Australia.
