Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz has said that Iran is planning a “major wave of attacks” across Europe ahead of the Paris Olympics in August.

Posting on X, he also labelled Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as the “world’s biggest support of terrorism”.

“We must stop him now before it’s too late,” Katz wrote, but did not provide any supporting evidence for his claims regarding planned attacks.

His comments came after Sweden’s security agency accused Iran of using criminal gangs in the Scandinavian country to target Israeli or Jewish interests.
