The court case in the city of Antwerp will shed light on the Iranian regime’s terrorist activities in Europe.
In a note to Belgium’s federal prosecutor, the agency argued that “the planned attack was conceived in the name of Iran and at its instigation.”

“The brazen terrorist plot was not directed against 25 civil parties and tens of thousands of participants in the gathering, alone, but against European and Western civilization and values,” said Mr. Vanrusel.

Christophe Marchand added, “To me, the regime is trying to bend the rules of diplomatic immunity as if a diplomat can walk in the street and murder people and not be prosecuted just because he is a diplomat.”
