to carry out these attacks, not really understanding what it is that they're doing and who they're doing it for.

And you just look at it, this model, it's quite a powerful tool, whether it is the Iranians, because we can't confirm that it's the Iranians behind it, but we've heard authorities in the different countries saying that this is really what they're looking into.

Whoever is behind this, it's cheap,

It's easy.

It has a devastating impact on the communities that are being targeted when it comes to the Jewish community, especially when we've spoken with people.

And then it also gives them that incredible kind of plausible deniability where you have these different layers of who's doing the recruitment, how they're doing the recruitment, who is filming this, who's posting these videos.

You've got several layers to whoever is ordering this at the end.

So let's look at this case with these arson attacks with Harekat Ashab al-Yami, online group

We've not seen it before, just popped up days after Iran is under pressure, Israel and the US are attacking Iran, and all of a sudden you have these attacks taking place in Western capitals.

And it looks like quite a powerful threat or message because at the beginning, right, up until a stabbing attack that was claimed by Ashab al-Yameen, no one really got hurt in these arson attacks that were taking place late at night.

It was a message and a very powerful one that this war

doesn't necessarily have to stay contained in this region.

You started looking into the group and its links, and we had reporting that no one else had a source that is close to Kata'ib Hezbollah

the most powerful of Iranian-backed Iraqi Shia militias, paramilitary groups, a source close to Kitab Hezbollah told us that the groups, Harakat Ashab al-Yamin and Kitab Hezbollah are linked, and that some members of Hayy are Iraqi.

And at the same time as well, we started looking into these different telegram groups where these claims were first appearing.

Two days before the first attack happened, this was, I think, on the 9th of March, a message comes up on one of these groups that is linked to Qatab Hezbollah, and it says, coming soon in Arabic.

So you could see all these, you know, links to Iran.

But I think the most significant thing was this recent arrest in the U.S., or it actually happened outside the U.S., of an Iraqi,

individual who, according to some media reports, was arrested in Turkey.

And he was taken to New York and he appeared in court.
