Counter Extremism Project (CEP) Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed, with quotes at 1:55 and 2:41.

U.S. President Trump is asking for help in securing the Strait of Hormuz, calling on NATO, among others, to step up. But many countries feel sidelined by Washington and are refusing. Europe, however, should have used the situation to strike a “deal in Trump’s style,” says Iran expert [CEP Senior Director} Hans-Jakob Schindler.

The Jewish community is being shaken by a worldwide series of terrorist attacks. Expert Hans-Jakob Schindler explains what this has to do with the hybrid warfare of the Iranian mullah regime.

Middle East expert [CEP Senior Director] Hans-Jakob Schindler analyzes the situation in the Middle East and explains how things might unfold in Iran: “There are three scenarios, none of which is particularly good for Europe.”

“The threat level regarding terrorist attacks in the USA and Europe has increased due to the conflict with the Islamist regime in Iran,” Counter Extremism Project Senior Director Hans-Jakob Schindler tells the Sun. “Currently, however, it’s an abstract threat, meaning that it is likely the regime will attempt to carry out attacks in the USA and Europe as part of its hybrid warfare strategy, but no warnings about concrete attacks have been received until now.”

Extremist networks linked to ISIS have called for attacks against Hindus in India and across South and Southeast Asia, even as they praised recent violence in the United States and expanded online recruitment, according to a new report by the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), nonprofit and non-partisan international policy organization

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler appeared on the podcast to discuss al-Qaeda terror cells in Germany. 

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler writes: “Today, Europe is facing a resurgent and increasingly complex terrorism threat. Between 2022 and 2024, the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (EUROPOL) reports that 206 terror attacks—both foiled and successful—were recorded on the continent, and 1255 individuals were arrested on terrorist-related charges.[1] Put another way, Europe as a whole is experiencing more than one terror attack per week, on average; slightly less than six per month. Moreover, those statistics are assuredly incomplete, since EUROPOL only collates data that is forwarded by its member states.”

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler interviewed at 01:02 regarding the court case against Russian agents in Germany.

The investigation points to a pattern that investigators observe among so-called Russian “disposable agents.” According to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, these agents often work “on behalf of a foreign intelligence service without actually belonging to it” in exchange for small sums of money. Unlike full-time employees, they are expendable, and the risk of their cover being blown is accepted. “Once the operation is complete or someone is arrested, they are literally discarded,” says terrorism and security expert Hans-Jakob Schindler, director of the international think tank Counter Extremism Project.
