Europol Warns Of Increased EU Security Threats
Europol told EFE on March 5, 2026 that the Middle East conflict will have immediate repercussions for European security, predicting increased terrorism, organised crime, violent extremism and cyberattacks. Spokesman Jan Op Gen Oorth warned Iran-linked groups and Axis of Resistance networks could carry out destabilising activities, while AI-enabled online fraud and rapid radicalisation may heighten threats across EU territory.
Key Points

- 2Cites Iran-linked groups and Axis of Resistance as likely sources of destabilising activities and attacks
