On March 24, four ambulances from a Jewish charity were set on fire early Monday in Golders Green, North London. Investigators suspect that linked to Iran amid rising threats against Jewish sites across Europe and the Middle East. Similar low-tech arson attacks have hit synagogues in Jewish centers and places like Lee's, in Belgium, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Antwerp. These come right after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, when Iranian forces warned enemies they would no longer be safe anywhere. Metropolitan police chief Sir Mark Rally called it a rolling threat from Iran to the UK and Jewish targets, though it's too early to confirm blame. Experts and security officials point straight to Tehran, noting a pattern of such operations. A group claiming responsibility on social media appears fake, likely a front created by Iranian intelligence or its quads force. The video spread on channels tie to Iran. Fake militias, fitting Tehran's tactic of using proxies for deniability. Police are treating the Golders Green fire as an anti-Semitic hate crime, not terrorism

yet. It highlights a sharp rise in UK anti-Semitic incidents, with over 3,700 reported last year.
