Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (Arabic: حركة أصحاب اليمين الإسلامية, lit. 'Islamic Movement of the People of the Right Hand'), commonly known as Ashab al-Yamin or HAYI, is a pro-Iranian Islamist group that has taken credit for attacks against Jewish schools, synagogues and charities in Europe, as well as American, Israeli and Iranian opposition targets, since March 2026. The group's activities have primarily focused on attacks on London's Jewish community, with additional attacks across Europe. The attacks have been investigated by counter-terrorism police, with 37 arrests made, and the UK proscribed HAYI as a national security threat. Analysts from the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT) and European authorities have questioned the group's authenticity as an independent terrorist organization, positing it may be a front group for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), who outsource the attacks to local criminals and use the group to create plausible deniability.
