A German court sentenced two men to prison for planning attacks and spying for Iran against pro-Israel figures and Jewish individuals. The Danish national, Ali Hassan S., received eight-and-a-half years, while his Afghan accomplice, Tawab M., got four-and-a-half years. Prosecutors linked the plot to Iran's Quds Force, calling it "terrorist activities orchestrated by Iran." The verdict has led to calls for expelling Iran's ambassador and a review of German security policy.
