I can tell you that it's put people on edge, whether it's the Jewish community or Iranian dissidents.
You know, if you look at these attacks, when they claim these attacks, what they're saying is, and we're not talking about Iran, right?
We're talking about this front, what experts believe is a front for the IRGC that's claiming these attacks.
They're saying, okay, this is revenge for the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei.
This is, you know, for pushing to stop the war.
I do think it's a threat to the West, to these different countries that have not gotten involved in this war.
We can bring this war to the heart of Europe if we want to.
And it's not necessarily about using its missiles or weapons.
It is the fact that you can weaponize teenagers.
You can use people within these different countries.
to carry out these attacks.
It's not the most sophisticated way, but it's this hybrid warfare, I think, as it's described.
And it's really, really effective to put pressure on these Western countries to stop the war on Iran.
It's very, very difficult.
I think the British have come out saying that they're basically going to crack down really hard on anyone who's involved in these attacks.
And almost every one of those attacks that happened in the U.K.,
They've arrested suspects, and they're fast-tracking a lot of these cases, and they're moving them fast.
They want to deter people from joining them, saying, look, if you think this is an easy way of making quick money...
think twice because you're disposable for them.
They'll use you and they'll drop you.
