Mossad Identifies Iranian Revolutionary Guard Commander Behind Terrorist Attacks

Mossad, Israel's foreign intelligence service, has publicly identified Sardar Amar, a senior commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, as the individual responsible for ordering terrorist attacks on Jewish sites in Australia and other countries. The revelation comes after a joint investigation with Australian authorities, which resulted in the expulsion of Iran's ambassador to Australia and the listing of the IRGC as a terrorist organization. Mossad has warned of continued threats from Iran and its proxies, vowing to protect Israeli and Jewish communities worldwide.
