On the evening of July 1, police in Bavaria surrounded the rented van of an Iranian diplomat after he pulled over at a gas station on the autobahn. Fearing he might be transporting explosives, the authorities summoned the bomb squad.

The diplomat, based at Iran’s embassy in Vienna, had been under surveillance for some time and was suspected of involvement in a plot to bomb a rally of Iranian dissidents in Paris. Despite his diplomatic status, he was arrested and extradited to Belgium, where two others, suspected of planning to carry out the attack in France, were detained.

The foiled plot has sparked growing anxiety in France, Germany and several other countries, including the United States and Israel, that Iran is planning audacious terrorist attacks and has stepped up its intelligence operations around the world.
If true that Iran is planning attacks in the US- EU and they proceed with any attacks expect NATO Article 5 to be invoked.

If the nutcases in Iran pushing this think they will be able to distract civilian unrest with a War, they are beyond stupid.

This will lead to another War in the ME, and all will be involved from NATO to the Gulf Cooperation Countries

Russians in Syria, Naval assets in the Med- While Iran has the S300, Russia from what I recall has not sold them the S400 which is one of the best in the world.

Hezbollah would needless to say attack Israel.

And yes Iran is crazy enough to plan and launch terror attacks against the West
