Reuters<\/a> reported on Friday that the Iranian regime\u2019s diplomat-terrorist Assadollah Assadi has threatened Belgian authorities with further terrorist attacks if he is found guilty of trying to bomb the Iranian Resistance\u2019s 2018 Free Iran rally in Paris. These threats underline the necessity of taking firm action against the mullahs\u2019 terrorism and not giving in to their longtime terrorism extortion tactic.<\/p>\n \u201cAn Iranian diplomat charged in Belgium with planning to bomb a meeting of an exiled Iranian opposition group in France warned authorities of possible retaliation by unidentified groups if he is found guilty, according to a police document,\u201d read the Reuters report. According to Reuters, Assadi<\/a> \u201cwarned Belgian authorities that his case was being closely watched by undisclosed groups in Iran and neighboring countries.\u201d<\/p>\n Assadi made this threat even though he was arrested after personally handing over 500 grams of TATP explosive to two other terrorist operatives in Belgium, who were later arrested. Reports indicate Assadi had even used its diplomatic cover, as the third counsellor at Iran\u2019s embassy in Vienna, to transfer the explosives using a civilian airplane. Assadi is the first diplomat to face trial on terrorism charges in Europe.<\/p>\n Reuters report reads, “Minutes of a March 12 meeting between Assadi and Belgian police, seen by Reuters and confirmed as authentic by his lawyer, show the diplomat initially set out Tehran\u2019s long-standing grievances with the MEK<\/a>\u2019s activities in the past”.<\/p>\n Assadi\u2019s threats, and the foiled bombing plot itself, once again confirm the terrorist nature of the mullahs\u2019 regime and that all the regime\u2019s top authorities are involved in terrorism. In this regard, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, the Iranian opposition president-elect, said: \u201cWhy has the regime become so emboldened to engage one of their diplomats directly in a terrorist operation? One reason is that the regime is desperate in the face of the Iranian people\u2019s protests and the significant role of the Iranian Resistance in the uprisings. But another reason is that the regime was confident that it would not pay any price for committing such major terrorist crime in the heart of Europe, due to the ongoing policy of appeasement.\u201d How could the EU turn a blind eye on the regime\u2019s agents and spies who are on the move on European soil? #NoImpunity4Mullahs<\/a> #Iran<\/a>https:\/\/t.co\/VCoecfRbFJ<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Maryam Rajavi (@Maryam_Rajavi) October 7, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Stanislav Pol\u010d\u00e1k, MEP from the Czech Republic, during the Wednesday conference, said<\/a>: \u201cMany of the regime\u2019s so-called diplomats have been engaged in terrorist plots and were always able to get away with their crimes. But now, for the first time in the field of terrorism, its diplomat has been arrested and will soon be tried in Brussels. This is not just the trial of an individual, but the trial of a regime. The diplomat who prepares such a terrorist operation at a country\u2019s embassy in Europe works under the Foreign Minister, and the Foreign Minister is under the President, and all work under [regime Supreme Leader Ali] Khamenei.\u201d<\/p>\n Following the major Iran protests in 2018<\/a>, the Iranian regime, seeing its looming downfall, increased its terrorist activities against the Iranian opposition abroad. In June 2018, the mullahs\u2019 diplomat-terrorist Assadi and three other terrorists tried to bomb the annual \u201cFree Iran\u201d<\/a> gathering of the NCRI in Paris, France. European security services arrested all four terrorists before their operation was carried out.<\/p>\n
\nThe Iranian regime has been using terrorism as a blackmailing tool to force western governments to achieve its goals. Succumbing to the regime\u2019s demands will only embolden it to pursue its terrorism abroad.<\/p>\n
\nOn Wednesday, during an online conference<\/a> held by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)<\/a>, dozens of Members of the European Parliament called for a firm policy toward the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n\n
