CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler writes: Of course, due to the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip, there is still an increased risk that Hamas or Hezbollah sympathizers will decide to commit acts of violence even without instructions from Iran. Unfortunately, it can be assumed that the current military conflict has further radicalized the violence-oriented anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli milieu in Germany. For these reasons, it is important that the German security authorities continue to monitor these dangers closely in the current phase in order to be able to intervene at an early stage. The German government's decision on June 13, the day of the first Israeli airstrikes on Iran, to increase the protection of Israeli and Jewish facilities was important. This increased protection should be maintained.

On Monday morning, Iran and Israel confirmed that they had agreed to a ceasefire, which was apparently violated. Does Germany nevertheless have to prepare for a greater threat from Iran in the future? t-online asked terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler [CEP Senior Director].

CEPs Alexander RItzmann highlighted that the core of the new youth neo-Nazi groups appears to radicalize offline, through interactions with friends, at sports events, during demonstrations, or within the family. Their hyper-visibility on TikTok or Instagram does not necessarily indicate that this is an online phenomenon. An online-focused prevention approach would therefore not be sufficient.

Iran’s spiritual leader has faced many challenges in his life, but the current military confrontation with Israel is the most severe crisis yet for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The spiritual system of the Islamic Republic that he leads is under threat – as is his own physical survival. Interview with Dr Hans-Jakob Schindler.
