Cyprus and Mossad Thwart Iranian Plot to Target Israelis

Two Iranian asylum-seekers linked to Revolutionary Guard arrested in joint operation

Cyprus, in collaboration with Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, has reportedly thwarted an Iranian plot to target and kill Israeli businessmen.
Two Iranian asylum-seekers, reportedly in contact with Iran's Revolutionary Guard, were arrested last month in Cyprus.
The suspects' Iranian handler moved in and out of Cyprus through the breakaway Turkish Cypriot north and would cross a U.N.-controlled buffer zone into the internationally recognized south to establish contact with the two.
This is the third such alleged Iranian plot to target Israelis in Cyprus in more than a year.
An Azeri man holding a Russian passport is on trial in Cyprus, a close Israeli ally, on suspicion that he planned to carry out the contract killings of Israelis living in Cyprus.
