Could Iran target Jews outside Israel?

After the massive direct Iranian attack on Israel, many breathed a sigh of relief that Israel’s defences were mostly well prepared and highly effective. The one death reported was that of a Gazan Palestinian man killed by shrapnel near Jericho. So much for Iranian solidarity with the Palestinians. Yet tensions remain high as further Iranian aggression may follow. This time, it could the Jews of Europe, the UK or America who are the targets. 

Israel’s impressive strategic operational activities in Lebanon and Syria have not only severely limited Hezbollah’s abilities, but also restored Israel’s intelligence and military deterrence in the region. By thrashing Hezbollah so severely, Israel badly humiliated the terror group’s puppet-master, Iran. Iran’s ability to damage Israel directly has so far proved to be lacking, but at the start of the Jewish New Year, many Jews around the world have a pronounced sense of unease.
