The Iranian terror group that claimed responsibility for torching four Jewish charity ambulances in London amid concerns about rising antisemitism has vowed to continue targeting the United States and Israel.

Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia, also known as the Islamic Movement of the People of the Right Hand, shared the threat with CBS News a day after three men in London were caught on security video pouring fuel on ambulances used by Hatzola Northwest. 

"We'll keep threatening U.S. and Israeli interests worldwide until we've avenged every child in Gaza, Iran, Lebanon, and the resistance nations," a representative of the Islamic Movement told CBS News. "We urge people to stay away from Zionist and American interests and individuals to keep themselves safe."

Two British nationals, ages 45 and 47, have been arrested and taken for questioning, with authorities searching two properties in connection the the attack. A senior police official told Associated Press Wednesday that the arrests marked “an important breakthrough in the investigation.” 

The terror group first announced its existence earlier this month, shortly after the U.S. and Israel launched coordinated strikes following years of tension over Iran's nuclear program, missile development and funding of terrorist groups.

Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia has claimed responsibility for a series of antisemitic attacks across Europe in the days following the current conflict in the Middle East, as CBS News reported. The group has also published propaganda videos through a Telegram channel created last week.

During a conversation with the outlet, the administrator of the Telegram channel said the group set fire on Monday to ambulances used by Hatzola. While the medical organization is rooted in the Jewish community, it provides volunteer-based emergency medical care free of charge to all members of the public.

The administrator, who referred to himself as Asad-Allah, claimed the terror group carried out the arson attack at night to avoid hurting people this time, adding, “We can do it, potentially.” Asad-Allah also justified the antisemitic attacks, citing the conflicts in Iran and Gaza, according to CBS News.

Police officers arrived at the scene of the arson attack early Monday morning, the Metropolitan Police said. The destruction of the Jewish charity ambulances took place in Golders Green, an area in London with a large number of Jewish households.

While no injuries were reported, houses in the area were evacuated in the immediate aftermath, though residents were quickly allowed to return home. 

"Officers are aware of an online claim from a group taking responsibility for this attack, and establishing the accuracy of the claim is a priority for the investigation team," Security Minister Dan Jarvis said in a statement. 

"As the Home Secretary has already told the House, support for the Jewish community in London is being stepped up. The police have the unshakeable backing of this government, and I am sure the whole House, in their effort to find the perpetrators of this awful crime, who should be in no doubt whatsoever that they will be pursued, and made to face the consequences."

In response to the news of the arson attack, Prime Minister Keir Starmer declared, “An attack on our Jewish community is an attack on us all. We will fight the poison that is antisemitism.”

Last October, Christian leaders offered prayers for the Jewish community in the U.K. following an attack on a synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

Greater Manchester Police said in a statement at the time: “Police were called to the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue, on Middleton Road, Crumpsall, at 9.31 a.m. GMT by a member of the public, stating he had witnessed a car being driven toward members of the public and one man had been stabbed.”

“Shots were fired by Greater Manchester Police firearms officers at 9.38 a.m. One man has been shot, believed to be the offender,” the 2025 statement continued.

The Bishop of Manchester, David Walker, said in a statement last year that he was "deeply shocked and saddened" by the attack.

"My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected — the victims, their families and the wider Jewish community — especially on this sacred day of Yom Kippur," he said. “Such acts of violence have no place in our communities. Manchester is a city built on diversity, mutual respect and unity.”
