Israeli officials believe that a group of Uzbek citizens who were allegedly recruited by Iran viciously attacked Kogan, according to reports in the Hebrew media.
After the horrific attack, the perpetrators are thought to have escaped to Turkey. In a statement to Reuters, the Iranian embassy in the United Arab Emirates vehemently denied any role Iran may have played in Kogan’s killing.
Tensions between Israel and Iran are rising at the time of this denial. The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has denounced the murder as a “heinous antisemitic terrorist act.”
Netanyahu has promised to use all of Israel’s resources to hold those accountable. Three suspects have recently been taken into custody by the UAE in relation to Kogan’s murder.
