During that terrorist plot, <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/2020\/10\/12\/le-monde-iran-regimes-terrorist-assadi-issues-terrorist-threats-even-in-detention\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Assadollah Asadi<\/a>, a diplomat of the mullahs\u2019 regime, handed over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/iranian-diplomat-and-three-accomplices-on-trial-for-planned-bombing-of-a-massive-rally-in-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a bomb<\/a>\u00a0made of acetone peroxide, with remote control to two Iranian regime agents in Belgium. <a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/assadollah-assadi-terrori-plot-mek-free-iran-rally-20200703\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Asadi <\/a>is on trial in Belgium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ali Safavi\u2019s useful article is as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dwight Eisenhower, the 34<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0U.S. president and a decorated war general, once said: \u201cPeace and justice are two sides of the same coin.\u201d If Europe wants to preserve peace, it should find it paramount to deliver justice against an Iranian diplomat soon to be prosecuted on terrorism charges. Moreover, from a political perspective, European nations need to send a powerful message to Tehran\u2019s terrorists that the age of terror campaigns is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tehran\u2019s 2018 bomb plot was the stuff of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/bags-of-cash-and-a-bomb-plot-inside-a-covert-iranian-operation-in-europe-1540978201\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">detective novels<\/a>, yet there was nothing fictional about it. It could have led to an astounding level of carnage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In June 2018, two Iranian nationals were arrested in Belgium on their way to bomb a huge\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jF9ay2YlWdE&amp;t=3589s\" target=\"_blank\">Iranian opposition rally<\/a>\u00a0in the heart of France. Shockingly for the Europeans, a third detainee turned out to be a sitting Iranian diplomat, who provided the explosives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a sunny day in Luxembourg on June 28, 2018, a couple, Amir Saadouni and Nasimeh Naami, met with a shadowy Iranian \u201cdiplomat.\u201d The couple had worked with him and the regime\u2019s intelligence service for years, conducting espionage against Tehran\u2019s main opponents in Europe. The diplomat personally gave them half a kilogram of the powerful explosive TATP, plus a detonator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The diplomat is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.radiofarda.com\/a\/belgium-to-try-iranian-diplomat-accused-of-terrorist-attack-in-france-\/30731830.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Assadollah Assadi<\/a>. He was the third counsellor at Iran\u2019s embassy in Vienna and its intelligence station chief for Europe. A veteran explosives expert, the terrorist mastermind had worked in Iraq for years, at times against American servicemen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to press reports, under his diplomatic cover, <a href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/terrorism\/7264-who-is-assadollah-assadi-the-iranian-diplomat-on-trial-for-terrorism-charges.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Assadi <\/a>had personally hid explosives in his luggage and boarded an Austrian flight from Iran, risking the lives of innocent passengers onboard. Assadi then ordered his two agents to set off the bomb at the \u201cFree Iran\u201d opposition rally near Paris. The annual rally was organized by a democratic coalition that the regime fears to be its archenemy, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/nationalinterest.org\/blog\/middle-east-watch\/making-sense-mek-65496\" target=\"_blank\">NCRI<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The annual conference gathered tens of thousands of pro-democracy Iranians. Hundreds of high-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/specials\/iran-freedom-within-reach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">profile former U.S., European and Arab<\/a>\u00a0officials were present at the event when the regime tried to bomb it on June 30, 2018. The NCRI\u2019s President-elect,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, who delivered the keynote address, was suspected to be the main target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the day of the event, Belgian authorities stopped the terrorist couple with the bomb. German police later arrested Assadi himself a few miles from the Austrian border. The daring plot was thus foiled at the last minute, but the story is just beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assadi and his terrorist associates will stand trial on November 27. The evidence points to state terrorism. The decision was made by Tehran\u2019s Supreme Security Council headed by its president Hassan Rouhani and ultimately approved by the supreme leader Ali Khamenei. The Ministry of Intelligence and Security (<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/i\/iran-opposition-ncri-conference-the-inner-workings-tehrans-terror-espionage-machine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MOIS<\/a>) was assigned to implement the decision in collaboration with the Ministry of\u00a0Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Europeans are aware of the gravity of Tehran\u2019s malfeasance. On October 2, 2018, French authorities announced that because of \u201cthis extremely serious act on our territory\u201d they have frozen the assets of the MOIS and two of its officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assadi\u2019s trial marks the first time that one of the regime\u2019s diplomats is arraigned in Europe for terrorism-related charges. But why did Tehran engage in such a brazen act?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer lies in the importance it attaches to neutralizing its principal opposition and particularly Mrs. Rajavi. At the time, Iran was witnessing the most serious uprisings against the regime in decades. Khamenei blamed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about-ncri\/alternative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NCRI <\/a>and its main component, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/about-iranian-opposition-pmoi-mek\" target=\"_blank\">MEK<\/a>), for organizing the uprisings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the 1990s, Tehran\u2019s mullahs have snared Europe in a web of terrorist campaigns, including the assassination of Dr. Kazem Rajavi in Switzerland. Europe\u2019s policy of appeasement has infinitely emboldened Tehran. Changing Tehran\u2019s mind in the future requires Europe to correct course by adopting a firm policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been reported that Assadi has brazenly threatened Belgian authorities with attacks by Tehran if he is found guilty. According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/iran-plot-france-int\/iranian-diplomat-warned-of-retaliation-over-belgian-bomb-plot-trial-document-shows-idUSKBN26U28N\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reuters<\/a>, he told police that armed groups in Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen and Syria, as well as in Iran, were interested in the outcome of his case and would be \u201cwatching from the sidelines to see if Belgium would support them or not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a senior diplomat to launch a bloodbath in Europe, and subsequently threaten Europeans with more terrorist attacks, is astonishing.\u00a0Instead of its current feckless approach,\u00a0Europe\u2019s response should be equally serious. Practical measures should include shutting down Tehran\u2019s embassies, which act as fronts for planning terror attacks. All agents and \u201cdiplomats\u201d must be expelled from Europe, and those responsible for the Paris plot must be held accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Europe has tolerated the scourge of the regime\u2019s terrorism for far too long. It is never too late, however, to recognize that justice and firmness are imperative for peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Ali Safavi (@amsafavi) is an official with the Foreign Affairs Committee of
