Releasing Jailed Bombers Will Embolden Iran’s Regime in Terrorism

The release of imprisoned terrorist agents in Belgium encourages the clerical regime to pursue more terrorism and hostage-taking

According to Mizan, the Iranian regime’s judiciary’s news agency, Asghar Jalalian, Deputy Minister of Justice of the clerical regime, met with the Belgian ambassador in Tehran on August 25, 2025. Jalalian, “noting that an agreement on the transfer of convicts has already been signed between the two countries,” stated that the Iranian regime “is seeking to sign three agreements with the Belgian government: an extradition treaty, a treaty on judicial cooperation in criminal matters, and a treaty on judicial cooperation in civil matters.”

Mizan further reported that “the Belgian ambassador declared his country’s readiness to transfer two Iranians imprisoned in Belgium to Iran.”

It appears that, following the release of the terrorist diplomat and bomb-plotter Assadollah Assadi, the religious fascism ruling Iran is paving the way for the release of Assadi’s accomplices (Amir Saadouni and Nasimeh Naami), who in July 2018 attempted to carry explosives to the gathering of the Iranian Resistance in Villepinte, Paris. They were arrested in Brussels just hours before planting the bomb and were sentenced in a final ruling to 18 years in prison. As was revealed during their trial, the intended targets of this bombing were Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, as well as prominent European and American figures.

The Iranian Resistance and the private plaintiffs warn against any attempts to prepare the ground for the release or exchange of these agents and the repetition of the shameful precedent of the terrorist diplomat Assadollah Assadi, who carried the bomb with him from Tehran on a passenger plane.

The Iranian Resistance strongly condemns the release of these terrorist agents and considers it a reward to the godfather of international terrorism. Paying ransom to the godfather of terrorism will only embolden the clerical regime to expand its terrorist rampage across Europe, Australia, and the United States.

On May 26, 2023, following the release of Assadollah Assadi, the Iranian Resistance declared: “The release of a terrorist who organized and commanded the greatest criminal act in Europe since World War II, in blatant violation of the court’s ruling, is a disgraceful ransom to terrorism and hostage-taking.”

The Ministry of Intelligence and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the clerical regime, by investing in infiltrators for this major terrorist operation, sought to portray this heinous crime as an internal conflict within the PMOI. However, with the arrest of the terrorist diplomat and the infiltrators, the regime’s plot was foiled.

A dozen agents and mercenaries, whom the regime’s intelligence services and the terrorist Quds Force had for years falsely presented as “former members of the PMOI” and as internal critics and opponents of the organization, are now, in the regime’s judiciary circus under the guise of a trial—which in Tehran is being conducted in absentia against the PMOI and 104 members of the Resistance—openly demanding the execution of the PMOI under the pretext of “baghy (armed rebellion) and moharebeh (waging war against God).”
