Peru Thwarts Planned Attack on Israeli Citizen by Iranian Man

The arrest of Majid Azizi, allegedly linked to Iran's Quds Force, highlights Peru's proactive measures against international terrorism.

Majid Azizi, a 56-year-old Iranian man, was arrested in Lima, Peru, accused of planning to assassinate an Israeli citizen.
Azizi, purportedly a member of the Iranian Quds Force, was captured alongside two Peruvian citizens, with a third still sought by police.
This marks the first time Peruvian authorities have arrested an alleged member of the Quds Force, underscoring the country's vigilance against international terrorism.
The arrest was made possible through cooperation with international intelligence agencies, signaling strong global collaboration in counter-terrorism efforts.
Azizi intended to return to Iran the day he was captured, highlighting the transnational nature of the thwarted attack.
