American sanctions Swedish tape with Iran Links, known for the embassy attack attempt

US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, announced on Wednesday that the United States imposes sanctions against the Foxtrot network, a transnational criminal organization and its fugitive leader Rawa Majid.

According to the statement, this criminal network based in Sweden is involved in drug and weapons trafficking, contributing to increased violence in Northern Europe through shootings, contractual killings and attacks.

“The Iranian regime held the Foxtrot network to make attacks on Israeli and Jewish targets in Europe, including the Israel Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden, in January 2024,” the State Department said. It is assumed that Majid has cooperated especially with the Iranian Ministry of Information and Security, already sanctioned by the United States.

This action is part of the “Maximum renewed pressure campaign” of the Trump administration against Iran and emphasizes the American commitment to respond to those persons and organizations working in collaboration with the Tehran regime to undermine the safety and security of our nation and our global partners. “
