The agency warns that Iranian intelligence services are ready to use methods that approach state terrorism.
The German intelligence service has raised the alarm, stressing that Iran is capable of expanding terrorist activities in Europe after the end of the war and the reduction of pressure on the regime.
This was stated by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) in a comment to Euractiv.
According to German intelligence services, possible targets could be Jewish and Israeli institutions, Iranian dissidents and other people whom Tehran considers opponents of the regime.
The BfV stressed that it is monitoring cases related to people living in Germany who have traveled to Iran for military training or have cooperated in other ways with Iranian authorities.
"The BfV estimates that after the end of the war, the Iranian regime could use its intelligence services to identify and persecute opponents of the regime, especially (pro)Jewish, (pro)Israeli and American targets, Iranian dissidents and other persons considered 'traitors'," the agency stated.
Intelligence services fear that after the active phase of the conflict ends, Iran may redirect resources to operations abroad.
The agency stressed that Iranian intelligence services are willing to use methods that border on state terrorism. According to the BfV, such actions could include threats against specific individuals, covert surveillance and preparation of attacks.
German intelligence sources told Euractiv that at least several dozen people have traveled from Germany to Iran and could then act in the interests of the Iranian regime.
The BfV added that the threat level against Jewish and Israeli targets, as well as against Iranian opposition representatives in Germany, remains high.
