Il Tempo: La firma dell'Iran sugli attacchi alle sinagoghe: chi c'è dietro al gruppo Ashab Al Yamim Si chiama 'Ashab Al Yamim', si traduce come 'Compagni di Destra' o 'Popolo della Destra', il gruppo che questa settimana ha rivendicato la responsabilità di tre attacchi contro istituzioni ebraiche in Europa. Ne scrive in esclusiva il Jerusalem Post ricordando il primo attentato a una sinagoga di Liegi, in Belgio, lunedì. Seguito da un attacco in Grecia mercoledì e a un incendio doloso a una sinagoga di Rotterdam, nei Paesi Bassi, venerdì. Il riferimento alla ''destra'', nel nome, non ha un significato politico, ma piuttosto di "retto" o "giusto" come ha spiegato Ohad Merlin, ricercatore presso il programma regionale di Mind Israel, al Jerusalem Post. Il Corano, ha precisato, usa infatti spesso 'destra' e 'sinistra' come metafore. Il gruppo, di cui prima di questa settimana non si conosceva l'esistenza, non possiede un proprio canale su Telegram, né è presente sui social media. Ma i video degli attacchi condotti da Ashab Al Yamim sono apparsi rapidamente sui canali Telegram dell'asse sciita, come quelli associati a Hezbollah o ai Pasdaran, il che suggerire un collegamento con organizzazioni affiliate all'Iran. Il logo del gruppo raffigura un braccio teso verso l'alto che impugna un fucile, puntato verso destra, con dietro l'immagine di un mappamondo. Questo logo ha le stesse caratteristiche dei loghi dei gruppi terroristici iraniani o guidati dall'Iran. Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq, Hezbollah in Libano e le Guardie Rivoluzionarie in Iran utilizzano tutti la stessa immagine di una mano che impugna un fucile puntato verso destra, sovrapposta a un mappamondo. Iran’s signature on the synagogue attacks: who is behind the Ashab Al Yamim group It is called ‘Ashab Al Yamim’, which translates as ‘Companions of the Right’ or ‘People of the Right’, the group that this week has claimed responsibility for three attacks against Jewish institutions in Europe. The Jerusalem Post writes about it exclusively, recalling the first attack on a synagogue in Liege, Belgium, on Monday. Followed by an attack in Greece on Wednesday and an arson attack on a synagogue in Rotterdam, Netherlands, on Friday. The reference to ‘right’ in the name does not have a political meaning, but rather one of “righteous” or “correct” as explained by Ohad Merlin, researcher at the Mind Israel regional program, to the Jerusalem Post. The Quran, he clarified, often uses ‘right’ and ‘left’ as metaphors. The group, of which no knowledge was previously known before this week, does not have its own Telegram channel and is not present on social media. However, the videos of the attacks carried out by Ashab Al Yamim quickly appeared on Telegram channels of the Shia axis, such as those associated with Hezbollah or the Pasdaran, suggesting a connection with organizations affiliated with Iran. The group’s logo depicts an arm raised upwards wielding a rifle pointed to the right, with the image of a world map behind it. This logo has the same characteristics as the logos of Iranian terrorist groups or groups led by Iran. Kataib Hezbollah in Iraq, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the Revolutionary Guards in Iran all use the same image of a hand wielding a rifle pointed to the right, superimposed on a world map. #AshabAlYamim’ #Jewish #Europe #TheJerusalemPost #first #Liege #Belgium #Greece #Rotterdam #Netherlands #OhadMerlin #theJerusalemPost #AshabAlYamim #Hezbollah #Pasdaran #Iranian #KataibHezbollah #Lebanon https://www.iltempo.it/esteri/2026/03/13/news/attacchi-sinagoghe-ashab-al-yamim-iran-nuovo-gruppo-islamista-46798239/

Does anybody remember the "baked weed artist" trope of super-detailed art that was around back in the hippy days? Well, this dude back in 1432 somehow channeled all that and said, "Hold my beer."
