In 1990, the Iranian regime\u2019s agents, who had traveled to Switzerland with diplomatic passports, assassinated <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/kazem-rajavi-human-rights-iran-ncri\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dr. Kazem Rajavi<\/a>, NCRI\u2019s representative in Switzerland, near his house. Some of the agents were arrested in France but later released and went to Iran.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, years of the EU\u2019s appeasement policy toward the mullahs\u2019 regime and succumbing to mullahs\u2019 terrorist extortion campaigns have encouraged the regime to attempt a huge bombing plot in Europe. And once questioned or arrested, the prime suspect either flees or threatens authorities.<\/p>\n<p>The foiled bombing plot of 2018 once again showed the regime\u2019s terrorist nature. But as Giulio Terzi, former Italian Foreign Minister, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1319272433367433216\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said<\/a> during a recent NCRI\u2019s conference on Thursday, \u201cWe didn\u2019t need the attempted terrorist attack in Villepinte to prove that the Iranian theocratic state is the number one terrorist state in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Terzi further suggested that Europeans \u201ccannot wait any longer in increasing across the board in all possible sectors of diplomatic relations. We cannot wait any longer to implement a strategy of maximum pressure against this regime of associates. Tehran must understand that it will pay the heaviest of the prices. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>If Tehran does not pay the price for its terrorism, it will increase its terrorist activities. Because as Mr. Claude Moniquet, a former French top security and counterterrorism official, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1319278774458875906\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said<\/a> on Thursday, \u201cTerror is just the political tool the mullah regime could decide to use at one moment. Where it is confronted, to try to advocate its interest and it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although terrorism is an inseparable part of the regime, as Moniquet said, the regime\u2019s consistent terrorism is partly due to the \u201cEuropean weakness.\u201d \u201cSince the 1980s and the 1990s, the mullah regime has conducted numerous terrorist operations against European interests, both in Europe and other parts of the world,\u201d Mr. Moniquet continued, \u201cSo, clearly, there was no real answer to the European answer to those terrorist threats and those terrorist actions. And Tehran understood that it was possible to threaten and even to attack Europe without having any price to pay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-219239 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" width=\"250\" height=\"83\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Significance of Assadi\u2019s trial<\/h3>\n<p>Infuriated over the transfer of members of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/primer-the-history-the-peoples-mojahedin-organization-iran\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PMOI\/MEK<\/a>) to Albania and having their regime\u2019s foundations rattled after the major Iran protests in 2018, mullahs tried to eliminate their viable alternative at any possible price.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the thwarted 2018 bombing plot was not Assadi\u2019s personal initiative. This was the decision by the regime\u2019s Supreme National Security Council. This council is headed by mullahs\u2019 president Hassan Rouhani, approved by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and attended by the regime\u2019s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mohammad Javad Zarif, Ministry of Security and Intelligence (MOIS) and commanders of the Revolutionary Guards (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/irgc-s-38-year-record-war-crackdown-exporting-terrorism-fundamentalist-and-advancing-the-nuclear-weapons-drive\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IRGC<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>As Ambassador Robert Joseph, former U.S. undersecretary of the Arms Control, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1319276550328446978\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told<\/a> Thursday\u2019s conference, this bombing plot \u201cis not an isolated case or an action of rogue agents.\u201d As Ambassador Joseph said, \u201cit is part of an orchestrated campaign directed at the highest levels of government in Tehran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, an Iranian diplomat\u2019s unprecedented trial while on duty for terrorism and convicting him is also challenging the entire terrorist regime. Assadi\u2019s conviction sends the message of firmness to the regime\u2019s leaders that terrorism will not be tolerated. All the perpetrators of this terrorist plot, including Khamenei, Zarif, and Rouhani, should be held accountable.<\/p>\n<p>Holding the regime to account for terrorism will cripple its terrorism against Iranian dissidents and prevent serious threats by the number one state-sponsor of terrorism in the world, endangering the lives of citizens of other countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent reports by international media outlets reported incarcerated diplomat-terrorist of the Iranian regime in Belgium, Assadollah Assadi, has threatened authorities of possible terrorist attacks if he is convicted.
