Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia

Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (translated as "Movement of the Righteous of Islam," or similar) is a newly emerged Islamist group suspected of involvement in recent attacks and plots across Europe. While direct attribution is still under investigation, multiple reports and security services are exploring potential links between the group and the Iranian regime. They are newsworthy due to a series of incidents in late March 2026, including a foiled bombing attempt at a Bank of America branch in Paris, explosions in Liège and Amsterdam, and arson attacks in London and Antwerp targeting Jewish community ambulances. These events have raised concerns about escalating tensions related to the Middle East conflict spilling over into Europe. The increase in national security cases involving hostile states, particularly those potentially linked to Iran, underscores the group's significance as a potential proxy actor and a threat to European security.
