The findings, published in the AIVD\u2019s 2024 annual report on April 24, prompted the Dutch Foreign Ministry to summon the Iranian regime\u2019s ambassador.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"628\" data-end=\"1043\">According to the report, Tehran is \u201clikely\u201d behind a failed murder attempt in Haarlem in June 2024 targeting an exiled Iranian activist. Two men were arrested at the scene while allegedly attempting to carry out the operation under the remote guidance of a third, unidentified suspect. One of the two arrestees is also suspected of involvement in a previous attempted assassination in Madrid in November 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1045\" data-end=\"1447\">That attack targeted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-a-fundamentalism\/how-prof-vidal-quadras-landed-on-tehrans-hit-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Alejo Vidal-Quadras<\/a>, a former Vice President of the European Parliament and longtime critic of the Iranian regime. He survived the shooting and has since accused Tehran of attempting to silence him for his outspoken support of the Iranian resistance, particularly the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"es\" dir=\"ltr\">Los servicios de inteligencia holandeses han llegado a la conclusi\u00f3n de que la Rep\u00fablica Isl\u00e1mica de Ir\u00e1n est\u00e1 detr\u00e1s del intento de asesinato del disidente iran\u00ed residente en Pa\u00edses Bajos Siamak Tadayon y tambi\u00e9n del atentado que sufr\u00ed yo en Madrid el 9\/11\/2023.
