Iranian-linked group claims responsibility for Golders Green arson attack
A Tehran-linked group has claimed responsibility for the Golders Green arson attack, joining a wave of antisemitic incidents across Europe this month.
An armed group identified as Harakat Ashab al-Yamin, described as Iranian-linked, has claimed responsibility for the arson attack in Golders Green. The claim comes amid reports of antisemitic attacks across Europe this month.
Authorities are reviewing the claim as part of an ongoing investigation. No fatalities have been publicly disclosed, and investigators say they are assessing potential links to other incidents and to broader extremist networks.
Residents and leaders from the local Jewish community condemned the attack and called for calm while security services monitor the threat. Police are increasing patrols in the area and coordinating with international partners.
Officials emphasise the importance of swift reporting of suspicious activity and reiterate that countering antisemitism remains a top priority across the region. The investigation continues as more details emerge.
