The 2012 Israeli embassy attack occurred on 13 February, 2012 after a bomb explosion on an Israeli diplomatic car in New Delhi, India wounding one embassy staff member and a local employee. Another bomb planted in a car in Tbilisi, Georgia failed to explode and was defused by Georgian police.

Background

Haaretz reported on 12 February that Iran had summoned the Azeri ambassador to complain against a report in The Times that Mossad had used Azerbaijan as a base for covert operations against Iran.

Incidents

This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it.

Responsibility and reactions

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Iranian intelligence services or Hezbollah for both incidents. Israel put its embassies on high alert for the anniversary of the killing of Hezbollah commander Imad Mughniyeh, as Hezbollah had vowed to avenge the attack by attacking Israelis overseas.

Iran condemned the "terrorist" incidents; it also rejected the allegation and denied responsibility for the incidents, while blaming Israel for a false flag operation.
