The explosion outside the US Embassy in Norway at 1 a.m. on March 8 is likely a significant marker that the war with Iran has now expanded beyond the Middle East.
Other events across the continent reinforce the message that Tehran has activated its terror networks; on March 9, a bomb exploded at a synagogue in the Belgian city of Liege, and on March 6, British counter-terrorist police arrested four Iranian men suspected of spying on Jewish sites.
One week into the conflict, pundits and intelligence officers had been holding their collective breath waiting for the first sign of Iran activating its support groups for attacks outside the Persian Gulf neighborhood. The question has been, not if, but when will Iran’s extensive proxy network, whose online chatter has rung alarm bells since February, take action.
