Asdollah Assadi, Iran\u2019s diplomat in Austria who ordered the terror attack, was arrested in Germany A terrorist diplomat of the clerical regime by the name of Asdollah Assadi, who was the main planner of the terrorist plot against the great gathering of Iranians in Paris, was arrested in Germany. The terrorist diplomat, who is the station chief of the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) in Vienna, has been stationed in Austria since August 2014. The two arrested terrorists are Amir Sadoni and Nassim Nomeni and are residents of Antwerp. Rudy Giuliani Issued a Statement on the Iranian Regime Terrorist Plot against FreeIran2018 Rally July 2, 2018 - Following the Belgian law enforcement\u2019s announcement of having discovered a Tehran-backed terrorist ring aiming to target Iranian dissidents during the Free Iran Gathering, which took place in Paris on June 30, Mayor Rudy Giuliani, lawyer to U.S. President Donald Trump, issued a statement, commending Belgian authorities for their efforts and condemning the Iranian regime for its sponsorship of terrorism across the globe. Giuliani was among the participants in the Free Iran Gathering, in which he delivered a speech in support of the Iranian people\u2019s uprising and the NCRI and PMOI\/MEK\u2019s efforts to establish democracy and freedom in Iran. Giuliani also met with Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the NCRI, and has been a long-time supporter of the Iranian Resistance. U.S. Softens Demand That Countries Stop All Iran Oil Imports The Trump administration is softening its earlier demand that countries like China, India and Turkey end all imports of Iranian oil by Nov. 4, as a top State Department official on Monday said the United States would allow reduced oil flows, in certain cases. \u201cWe are prepared to work with countries that are reducing their imports on a case-by-case basis,\u201d said Brian Hook, the department\u2019s director of policy and planning. His announcement was a delicate attempt at reassuring oil markets and allies that sanctions are not likely to hit them this fall \u2014 even if Iranian oil continues to flow around the world, as is likely the case. Protests to Water Salinity Spread To Other Cities Of Khuzestan Province In Iran Khorramshahr citizens came to the streets on Sunday, July 1, 2018, for the third consecutive day in protest to the water salinity crisis in the area. Following the uprisings, people in several other cities of Khuzestan province, including Bandar-e Emam Khomeyni, Abadan, Kut-e Abdollah and Ahvaz, also joined the protests and launched demonstrations. It has been reported that some protesters in the gatherings of Monday, July 2nd, in Ahvaz and Khorramshahr have been arrested. Shooting and Clashes by Iranian Agents with Protesting People Government forces clashed with protesting villagers in Zehuki on Monday afternoon, July 2, 2018, firing at them due to two barrels of gasoline inside a home in the Minab city, Hormozgan province, Iran. On Monday afternoon, government forces see two barrels of gasoline in a house in Zahuki village of Minab city in Hormozgan province and harass and attack the residents of the house. The people of the village came to help their fellow citizens and rushed their defense. However, the security forces, with the command of Iranian officials, immediately shoot at the protesting people with direct gunshots.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Over\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">100,000 people, mostly supporters of the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/about-iranian-opposition-pmoi-mek\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK)<\/a>, along with hundreds of renowned Western politicians, attended the \u201cFree Iran\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">gathering in<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Villepinte<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, north of Paris, on June 30, 2018.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Behzad\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Saberi<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, Legal Director-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the regime, also stated:\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201c<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I worked with him (Assadi) in Vienna for four years.
