Reports Tie Iranian Diplomat to
Planned Attack on Dissident Group
(New York, NY) - News reports indicate
officials in Iran were directly communicating with Asadollah Assadi,
the Iranian diplomat whom German authorities arrested for plotting an
attack on a dissident group in Paris this summer.
United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) CEO Ambassador Mark
D. Wallace noted such activity is part of Tehran's terror playbook -
using intelligence agents who double as diplomats and plot mayhem
using Iranian embassies around the world. The Dutch government has accused Iran
of plotting at least four assassinations and bombings in Europe since
2015 - the year the P5+1 and Iran signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan
of Action (JCPOA).
"It was Iran's President Hassan Rouhani himself,
who recently threatened Europe
with 'drugs, asylum seekers, bombs and terrorism' if the
international community levied additional sanctions against his
regime," said Wallace. "Yet despite Iran's bloodstained
record, Europe recently unveiled a new Instrument in Support of Trade
Exchanges (INSTEX), an attempt to circumvent U.S. sanctions on Iran,
which aim to prevent further state-sanctioned murder by depriving the
regime of funding. INSTEX jeopardizes European security."
As February 11 marks the 40th anniversary
of Iran's Islamic Revolution, UANI maintains the definitive timeline of
Tehran's state-sponsorship of terrorism, from 1979 to 2019.
Additionally, to learn more about Iran's methods, UANI's research
team has recently analyzed the
modus operandi of Iran's intelligence apparatus - its structure, its
leadership, its history, and its practices.
