Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia

Terror group

Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia, commonly known as Ashab al-Yamin or HAYI, is a pro-Iranian Islamist group that has taken credit for attacks against Jewish schools, synagogues and charities in Europe, as well as American, Israeli and Iranian opposition targets, since March 2026. The group's activities have primarily focused on attacks on London's Jewish community, with additional attacks across Europe. The group is believed to be a front group for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), who outsource the attacks to local criminals and use the group to create plausible deniability. The attacks have been investigated by counter-terrorism police, with 37 arrests already made. Analysts from the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT) have questioned the group's authenticity, and European authorities posited it may be a fictitious group created by Iran to take credit for attacks orchestrated by Iranian intelligence or for outsourcing actions commercially.
