A Belgian official has said that recent attacks on Jewish sites in Belgium appear to be a coordinated effort inspired by Iran, according to a report by the Times of Israel.

The official’s claim links a string of antisemitic incidents to foreign-directed coordination rather than isolated acts. The remarks mark one of the most direct public accusations by a European official tying Iran to the targeting of Jewish institutions in Europe.

Iran has not responded to the allegation in the cited reporting. Belgian authorities have not yet released evidence supporting the claim, and it was not immediately clear whether criminal investigations have established any links to Iranian state actors.

The accusation comes at a time of heightened concern about antisemitic attacks across Europe. Security around Jewish schools, synagogues and community centres has been tightened in several countries, and officials say the threat picture remains serious.

European governments have grown increasingly vocal about what they describe as Iranian threats on European soil, including alleged plots against dissidents and Jewish targets. Intelligence agencies in several countries have blamed Tehran for assassination attempts and intimidation campaigns in recent years. Iran has consistently denied involvement in such operations, calling the accusations politically motivated.
