UANI Statement on Alleged Bombing Plot in Paris

July 3, 2018 press@uani.com UANI Statement on Alleged Bombing Plot  in Paris New York, NY - United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) Chairman and former U.S. Senator Joseph I. Lieberman released the following statement today in response to recent arrests of four individuals, including Iranian diplomat Asadollah Assadi, who stand accused of plotting to bomb a gathering of Iranian opposition groups in Paris: "While the investigation is ongoing, any involvement by Tehran would further signify the danger the regime represents globally," Senator Lieberman said. "Iran has earned the distinction of being the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism for good reason - the latest incident is part of the regime's long history of plotting, planning and scheming. In recent years, Iranian agents have attempted to assassinate Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States and targeted Israeli tourists in Bulgaria.  "A number of leaders from the U.S. military and both political parties were in attendance at this latest gathering and would have been targets of the attack. U.S. law enforcement and counterterrorism agencies should become active in this investigation with our European allies. "If it is proven Tehran was involved in this plot, it's time for the international community, particularly the European Union, to move beyond statements expressing outrage and towards specific actions that isolate Iran economically and politically," Senator Lieberman added. ### For media inquiries, please contact press@uani.com.
