Assadi was sentenced to 20 years in prison. The question now is what an appropriate response is for Western governments on both sides of the Atlantic?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Assadi, the former third counsellor at the Iranian embassy in Vienna, stood trial alongside three accomplices in connection with their plan to set off explosives at a 2018 gathering of Iranian expatriates and diplomatic supporters, organised by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). Two of those accomplices were arrested by Belgian authorities while attempting to carry several hundred grams of the high-explosive TATP to the intended target venue. The third was detained after having already gained entrance to that venue just outside of Paris. Assadi himself was arrested in Germany before he was able to return to his Austrian post and the protection of diplomatic immunity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/capx.co\/tehrans-state-terror-has-reached-europe-is-the-west-ready-to-confront-it\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\">120 House Republicans Urge Biden Not to Reenter Iran Nuclear Deal As Is<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"house-republicans-urge-biden-not-to-reenter-iran-nuclear-deal-as-is\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-234764\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/house-republicans-urge-biden-not-to-reenter-iran-nuclear-deal-as-is.jpg\" alt=\"house-republicans-urge-biden-not-to-reenter-iran-nuclear-deal-as-is\" width=\"800\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/house-republicans-urge-biden-not-to-reenter-iran-nuclear-deal-as-is.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/house-republicans-urge-biden-not-to-reenter-iran-nuclear-deal-as-is-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/house-republicans-urge-biden-not-to-reenter-iran-nuclear-deal-as-is-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/house-republicans-urge-biden-not-to-reenter-iran-nuclear-deal-as-is-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/house-republicans-urge-biden-not-to-reenter-iran-nuclear-deal-as-is-696x418.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Dear President Joe Biden,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It has come to our attention that you may be considering a re-entry to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) without first pursuing any changes to the 2015 agreement.
