Why it matters
One of the supply chains described allegedly led to Foxtrot, a network under international investigation for alleged links to the Iranian regime. Rawa Majid, who was from Iran and grew up in Sweden, is associated with the network. The reports also connect this network to an attack on the Israeli Embassy.
