A major Iranian terror attack at an Israeli embassy was thwarted at the last moment at the start of the war against Iran, i24NEWS reported.

The Iranian cell was identified while en route to carry out an attack on an Israeli embassy. Israeli personnel were evacuated in real time, and the disaster was narrowly avoided.

Earlier this week, it was reported that in a classified discussion held at the Foreign  Ministry—with Minister Gideon Sa’ar and several members of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee—the ministry’s director‑general revealed that Iran has begun attempting concrete attacks on Israeli embassies around the world.

The director general, Eden Bar Tal, said: “Hostile activity against the embassies has risen sharply—not only at the level of threats, but also in concrete attempts to carry out attacks.” He added that drones sent toward embassies have been detected.

Foreign Minister Sa’ar said during the discussion: “There’s a clear understanding across the Western world that this regime is a danger.”

Sa’ar held an online briefing on Wednesday for all ambassadors and heads of diplomatic missions stationed in Israel. Around one hundred ambassadors and mission heads participated in the briefing.

During the briefing, Minister Sa’ar called on countries to expel Iran’s ambassadors—following the Lebanese Foreign Ministry’s announcement on Tuesday that it intends to do so this week.

Sa’ar added: “Iran’s attack on the Diego Garcia base shows that the regime lied about the range of Iranian missiles—including false statements made by Iran’s foreign minister during the war. This demonstrates that the missile range of the Iranian regime threatens not only us and the region, but all of Europe as well.”
