This should come as no surprise. The Islamic Republic of Iran showed what it thought of diplomacy and diplomats when jihadis stormed the U.S. Embassy and took hostages in 1979. And several years ago, the Harper government in Canada closed the Iranian embassy in Ottawa because it was being used for jihad activity.

The diplomat, identified only by his given name as Assadollah A., worked at the Iranian embassy in Vienna. He was arrested in Germany on suspicion of planning an attack against the Paris-based National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an umbrella bloc of opposition groups in exile.

This is kind of par for the course. It has been rumored for years that Turkish diplomats and Diyanet-employed imams have have participated in black ops against Turkish expat dissidents but no one has gone very public yet with corroboration. Does Turkish rep Rudy Giuliani have something to do with this? Exposure of inconvenient truths here could not be good for Giuliani’s clients.

What does Iran have to offer any way? If any western nation aids Iran in any way they are just helping Iran run proxy wars …..SHUT IRAN DOEN or be labelled a “helper”
