Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen accused Iran on Wednesday of planning an attempted attack on his country's embassy in Azerbaijan.
"Tehran stands behind the attempt," Cohen said in a statement.
"Iranian terror is a global threat, as we saw in the past few days in Azerbaijan in an attempted attack on the Israeli Embassy in Baku, as well as in recent months in Cyprus and Greece in attempted attacks against Israelis and Jews," the minister added.
Cohen called on the international community to "come together to oppose Iran's terror activities."
There was no comment from Iran on the Israeli accusation.
Azerbaijani police arrested an Afghan citizen on Monday for plotting a terrorist attack on an unspecified foreign embassy.
While the police did not specify the embassy, local media said the suspect had been surveilling the area where the Israeli Embassy is located.
