The Iranian regime&#039;s state-sponsored terrorism should be referred to the United Nations Security Council. France announces asset freeze on Iranian intelligence service French authorities have frozen the assets of two Iranian men thought to be members of Iran&#039;s intelligence services and Iran&#039;s ministry of security and intelligence on Tuesday. Assadollah Asadi, an Iranian diplomat accused of masterminding a plot against an Iranian opposition rally in Paris, is one of the men whose assets have been frozen. The move comes after about 200 police officers raided a Shiite Islamic centre in the port city of Dunkirk which was suspected of supporting &quot;terrorist organisations&quot; with links to Iran. The raid on the Zahra Centre France was staged as part of prevention-of-terrorism procedures, regional authorities said in a statement. A security source said 11 people have been arrested, and French authorities froze the financial assets of the centre, which is headed by Yahia Gouasmi, who is known for his anti-Zionist views and links to Iran. Thousands of truckers continue nationwide strike for 9th day The truck drivers\u2019 nationwide strike in Iran entered its 9th consecutive day on Monday, spreading to new cities and the four corners of the country. Despite the fact that Iranian regime authorities arrested over 120 of the protesting drivers, parallel to the mullahs\u2019 judiciary authorities and the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) resorting to voicing verbal threats, the drivers are courageously continuing their strike and paying no attention to the regime\u2019s threatening measures.

The court's statement reiterated: \"All extradition conditions have been met and there are no barriers to extradition.\" The accused cannot \"invoke diplomatic immunity\" and \"the continuation of the extradition proceedings is the responsibility of the general prosecutor in Bamberg.\"The Iranian resistance welcomes the decision of the Bamberg Supreme Court and stresses on speeding up judicial proceedings in the case of the largest Iranian state-sponsored terrorism project and its operational commander, Assadollah Assadi, and disclosure of all its details. The Iranian regime's state-sponsored terrorism should be referred to the United Nations Security Council.France announces asset freeze on Iranian intelligence serviceFrench authorities have frozen the assets of two Iranian men thought to be members of Iran's intelligence services and Iran's ministry of security and intelligence on Tuesday.Assadollah Asadi, an Iranian diplomat accused of masterminding a plot against an Iranian opposition rally in Paris, is one of the men whose assets have been frozen.The move comes after about 200 police officers raided a Shiite Islamic centre in the port city of Dunkirk which was suspected of supporting \"terrorist organisations\" with links to Iran.The raid on the Zahra Centre France was staged as part of prevention-of-terrorism procedures, regional authorities said in a statement.A security source said 11 people have been arrested, and French authorities froze the financial assets of the centre, which is headed by Yahia Gouasmi, who is known for his anti-Zionist views and links to Iran.Thousands of truckers continue nationwide strike for 9th dayThe truck drivers\u2019 nationwide strike in Iran entered its 9th consecutive day on Monday, spreading to new cities and the four corners of the country. Despite the fact that Iranian regime authorities arrested over 120 of the protesting drivers, parallel to the mullahs\u2019 judiciary authorities and the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) resorting to voicing verbal threats, the drivers are courageously continuing their strike and paying no attention to the regime\u2019s threatening measures.U.N.
