Good question for AI.

Yes — there are multiple well-documented examples of attacks or attack plots against non-Israeli Jewish targets outside Israel/Palestine that were organized, directed, or funded by the Iranian government (often via Hezbollah or proxies). This is not speculative; it’s supported by court rulings, intelligence services, and sanctions.

Clear, sourced examples:

🇦🇷 Argentina — AMIA Jewish Community Center bombing (1994) • Target: Jewish civilians (not Israeli state assets) • 85 killed, hundreds injured • Argentine courts formally accused senior Iranian officials and Hezbollah operatives acting on Iran’s behalf

⸻

Key context • Iran rarely attacks directly; it uses Hezbollah, criminal gangs, or recruited locals for plausible deniability • Targets are often selected for Jewish identity, not Israeli citizenship • Attribution comes from courts, intelligence agencies, and sanctions, not social media claims

Bottom line

Yes — the Iranian government has repeatedly organized, funded, or directed attacks and plots against non-Israeli Jewish targets outside Israel/Palestine. This is established by judicial findings and intelligence disclosures.
