\"Iran-Terrorism-24112020\"<\/p>\n

On February 4, a court in Belgium is expected to announce its verdict about Iran\u2019s incarcerated diplomat-terrorist Assadollah Assadi who attempted to bomb the opposition rally in 2018 in France. A statement<\/a> by 20 former European Ministers in this regard urged Europe to take a firm stance against Iran\u2019s state-sponsored terrorism.<\/p>\n

The signatories of this statement urged the President of the European Commission, the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, the President of the European Parliament, and the leaders of EU member states to take concrete actions against the Iranian regime\u2019s state-sponsored terrorism.<\/p>\n

They particularly urged the EU leaders to designate the regime\u2019s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif<\/a>. \u201cJavad Zarif must be held accountable for his diplomat\u2019s proven role in plotting to blow up a peaceful rally in Villepinte, France,\u201d read the statement in part.<\/p>\n

The European dignitaries demanded that \u201cthe activities of Iran\u2019s embassies, religious and cultural centers need to be scrutinized and the diplomatic relations with Iran need to be downgraded and return to normal diplomatic relations be subject to Iran packing-up its terrorist apparatus in Europe and giving assurances that it will never engage in terrorism in Europe again.\u201d<\/p>\n

The regime has long used its diplomatic missions to carry out terrorist plots in Europe. The Iranian regime\u2019s diplomat-terrorist in 1990 gunned down Professor Kazem Rajavi<\/a> in Switzerland, where he was acting as the Iranian Resistance\u2019s representative.<\/p>\n

Twenty-eight years later, in June 2018, the regime in Tehran used another diplomat terrorist, Assadi, in an attempt to bomb the Resistance\u2019s gathering<\/a> in the heart of Europe. If this bomb plot was not thwarted, thousands of supporters of the Iranian opposition and hundreds of European personalities and citizens could have died.<\/p>\n
