Israeli embassy in New Delhi said on high alert amid ‘serious’ fear of Iran attack
|
[IsraelTimes] Security measures tightened, surrounding streets patrolled closely as site is ’likely target’ for militias backed by Tehran, says report in opposition Iranian news channel.
The Israeli embassy in New Delhi has been on high alert in recent weeks amid "serious" fears of a possible terror attack by Iran-backed perpetrators, according to a report Saturday by a London-based news channel affiliated with the Iranian opposition that was picked up by Hebrew-language media.
Security measures have been tightened in areas surrounding the embassy in the Indian capital and nearby streets have been outfitted with surveillance cameras and subject to increased security patrols, according to the report in Iran
 ...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979...
International.
The Persian-language TV channel described the security alerts as "serious" and cited an unnamed Israeli source who said the embassy in New Delhi has become one of several "likely targets" for Iran-affiliated militias.
The source also said Indian police and counter-terror forces recently conducted a security drill to prepare for a possible attack where streets around the diplomatic mission were blocked, and gunfire and explosions could be heard.
The news came a week after the same news outlet reported that Israel’s Mossad spy agency foiled a recent Iranian attempt to assassinate an Israeli diplomat working at the consulate in Istanbul.
Iran International said that in addition to the Israeli worker at the consulate, an American general stationed in Germany and a journalist in La Belle France were also targeted in the plot.
Last year, a blast outside the Israeli embassy in New Delhi damaged cars but caused no injuries, in an attack India has said was carried out by the Quds Force branch of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
A letter found close to the scene of the blast was a death threat to the Israeli ambassador that warned he was being constantly being watched and vowed to avenge the deaths of "deaders" Qassem Soleimani
 , Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) commander who was killed in a January 2020 United States dronezap; Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, a top Iraqi militia commander who was killed along with Soleimani; and Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the architect of Iran’s nuclear program, killed in a November 2020 attack Tehran has blamed on Israel.
