While the Iranian regime continues its assassinations and terrorist plots in the West, the EU and the UN -- which it is time for the US to defund -- remain silent.
Another spy from the Iranian regime, Mohammad Davoudzadeh Loloei, 40, has been sentenced to prison in a European court -- this time, Denmark -- for being an accessory to the attempted murder of one or more individuals who are opponents of the Iranian regime. What is unusual is that this is all taking place while Europe's leaders continue to pursue a policy of appeasement with the ruling mullahs of Iran.
According to Roskilde District Court, in Denmark, Loloei had collected information on a dissident, so far unnamed, and given it to Iran's intelligence service, who planned to murder the man. The information included photos of the target's house, street and surroundings. "The court found that the information was collected and passed on to a person working for an Iranian intelligence service, for use by the intelligence service's plans to kill the exile," the court's statement read.
The public prosecutor, Soeren Harbo, pointed out that the Iranian spy has received a permanent entry ban and would also be expelled from Denmark after serving his sentence. Harbo added that "It's a historic case. And it's a powerful message to (foreign) intelligence services: they have to handle their conflicts among themselves and stop involving us."
Remarkably, this case involving the Iranian regime's intelligence service carrying out espionage and attempting to assassinate its opponents abroad is not a rare one.
Last fall, in November 2019, another dissident, Massoud Molavi, who ran a social media channel on Telegram criticizing the Iranian regime and exposed corruption in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was gunned down while walking on the streets of Istanbul.
After Molavi's murder, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said:
"The Iranian regime also continues to export cruelty outside its own borders. Last week, an Iranian dissident, Massoud Molavi, was assassinated in Istanbul after he defected to Turkey from Iran.
In 2018, in Denmark, the Iranian regime attempted another assassination. Denmark's former Foreign Minister Anders Samuelsen emphasized the seriousness of the plot:
"An Iranian intelligence agency has planned an assassination on Danish soil. This is completely unacceptable. In fact, the gravity of the matter is difficult to describe. That has been made crystal clear to the Iranian ambassador in Copenhagen today."
In June 2020, an Iranian fugitive judge was killed and thrown out of his hotel room window in Romania. The Foreign Ministry of Romania also summoned the Iranian ambassador for an explanation because the Iranian authorities had made different claims about the death of the judge.
It is worth noting that the United States is not immune from the mullahs' spies and terror plots as well. Two individuals in California, Ahmadreza Mohammadi Doostdar, 38, in Chicago and, Majid Ghorbani, 59, were sentenced to prison by the federal court on January 15, 2020 for giving the Iranian regime information that could be used to harm American citizens.
