The report comes amid media speculation that israel may have been involved in the 2 July blast at Iran's Natanz nuclear power plant. Defence Minister Benny Gantz appeared to deny the claims on Sunday, saying “not every event that happens in Iran is connected to us”.
Israel's Mossad intelligence agency has thwarted a plot to attack multiple Israeli embassies, Israel's Channel 12, a Hebrew-language broadcaster, has reported.
The plot, said to have been masterminded by Iran, was said to have involved embassies in Europe and around the world, although the list of specific countries where the attacks were meant to take place was censored by Israeli authorities.
Iran has yet to comment on the alleged plot. However, in 2012, israel accused the Islamic Republic of a similar scheme involving the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and attacks against Israeli diplomats in India and Georgia. At that time, Iran categorically rejected the accusations, stressing that it “condemns all acts of terrorism,” and accusing “the Zionist regime” of waging “a propaganda war.” Four people were injured in the New Delhi attack. Georgian police foiled an attempted car bomb attack in Tbilisi. The 2012 attacks took place against the background of Mossad assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists, with five scientists killed and one surviving in a string of attacks between 2010 and 2012.
