He recounted the assassination attempt on his friend, Professor Alejo Vidal-Quadras, noting that he was \u201cshot at point-blank range\u201d in Madrid but \u201cmiraculously survived.\u201d Stevenson criticized the Iranian regime\u2019s violent history by stating that \u201cSince hijacking the revolution in 1979, the mullahs\u2019 regime has done everything in its power to eliminate anyone who opposes their theocratic tyranny,\u201d particularly targeting groups like the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (<a href=\"https:\/\/english.mojahedin.org\/about-the-peoples-mojahedin-organization-of-iran-pmoi-mek\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PMOI\/MEK<\/a>). He condemned Tehran\u2019s actions abroad as \u201chostage-taking and international terrorism,\u201d which he characterized as \u201ctheir unique perversion of diplomacy.\u201d Furthermore, he denounced the West\u2019s \u201cfailed policy of appeasement,\u201d arguing it has made Western nations complicit in Iranian suffering. He urged attendees to assist in \u201credefining Western policy on Iran,\u201d advocating for a significant shift away from leniency.<\/p>\n<p>Professor <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/news\/2023\/11\/dr-alejo-vidal-quadras-letter-to-the-conference-at-the-european-parliament-its-time-to-take-the-side-of-the-iranian-people\/52755\/\" rel=\"\">Alejo Vidal-Quadras<\/a> commenced his address by recognizing the one-year anniversary of the assassination attempt on his life, referring to it as his \u201cfirst birthday\u201d since enduring the \u201cvicious attack in Madrid.\u201d He recounted that he was shot in the head by Merez Ayari, a hitman described as a French citizen of Tunisian origin who was allegedly \u201chired by the Iranian regime.\u201d Ayari was later apprehended in the Netherlands while reportedly preparing to target another Iranian dissident. For Vidal-Quadras, this incident serves as clear evidence of Iran\u2019s direct involvement and an alarming escalation in its tactics.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed out a \u201cqualitative jump\u201d in Iran\u2019s terrorism strategy, indicating that it has evolved from targeting Iranian dissidents to attempts on \u201cWestern political figures.\u201d He referenced incidents such as the 2018 Villepinte bombing attempt and an assassination plot against U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton as examples. Vidal-Quadras warned that this aggressive posture highlights a \u201cfailed policy\u201d by Western nations\u2014especially the EU\u2014whose diplomatic engagements with Tehran have only encouraged hostility.<\/p>\n<p>In light of this situation, Vidal-Quadras proposed a new policy framework for Western democracies centered around \u201cthe international isolation of the regime.\u201d He advocated for halting diplomatic and trade relations with Iran and urged the EU to classify the <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/articles\/2023\/04\/irans-regime-irgc-a-state-sponsored-terrorist-organization\/44858\/\" rel=\"\">IRGC<\/a> as a terrorist organization, following actions taken by both the U.S. and Canada. Financial sanctions were also emphasized; he called for \u201chardened sanctions\u201d aimed at cutting off all financial resources available to the regime. Additionally, he stressed the need for increased diplomatic pressure on Iran within international organizations while highlighting human rights violations reported by UN Special Rapporteur Javaid Rehman. In conclusion, he called for formal recognition of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about-ncri\/ncri\/alternative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NCRI<\/a>) and its leader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryam-rajavi.com\/en\/biography\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a> as legitimate representatives of Iranians.

This is against our lives, against our freedom, against the way we think.\u201d Betancourt criticized European nations for their lack of accountability following a 2018 bomb plot aimed at an opposition rally in Villepinte, France\u2014an attack she claimed could have been \u201cthe biggest, most destructive terrorist attack in Europe\u201d had it succeeded. Despite an Iranian diplomat being convicted for this plot, she lamented his subsequent release during a prisoner swap\u2014a decision she argued highlighted \u201cthe weakness of our democracies.\u201d Betancourt contended that ongoing EU policies driven by \u201cdark interests\u201d have only served to empower Iran.<\/p>\n<p>She urged European leaders to take decisive actions such as designating the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/terrorism-a-fundamentalism\/inside-irans-army-of-terror-and-oppression-revolutionary-guards-irgc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IRGC<\/a> as a terrorist organization and recognizing Iranian Resistance efforts while promoting <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfreedom.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" rel=\"\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a>\u2018s work internationally as she embodies values worth fighting for.

He disclosed that there are \u201cupwards of 450 instances\u201d involving external plots orchestrated by the Iranian regime\u2014including assassinations and kidnappings targeting dissidents globally.
