Keeping an eye on this regarding the prisoner exchange deal between #Iran and Belgium that sought the release of a convicted terrorist.

US may intervene in Belgium-#Iran deal with extradition request

This would impede Brussels from sending Assadi— sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2021 over a plot to bomb a 2018 rally of Iranian opposition MEK in Paris—to Tehran.

#UPDATE
#Iran President Ebrahim Raisi has presented the Iran-Belgium Prisoner Exchange Treaty bill to the Majlis (parliament), via the government's official website.

Last week the Belgian Parliament ratified a similar & highly-criticized bill presented by the Belgian government. Image

It is becoming clearer every day what a blemish the #Iran deal is on the int'l reputation of this country. And on the int'l ambitions of @alexanderdecroo. Or how the right side of history suddenly threatens to end up on the very wrong side.

1)
 The Biden admin’s appeasement of #Iran’s regime continues.

The latest episode involves the State Dept. spox describing the nuclear talks as "indefinite."

Unfortunately, there is more to Biden’s weak policy vis-à-vis Tehran.

Biden's Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says buying oil from #Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, is “on the table.”

 November 9, 2021

#Iran's access to cash bolstered by Biden's lax enforcement of sanctions on Tehran's illicit oil trade, which increased to record levels of over $31 billion amid a buying spree from China, the #1 importer of illegal Iranian crude oil.

 Biden's State Dept. assures #Iran's regime, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, that there is no deadline in the nuclear talks.

Meaning—Tehran can continue their illicit nuclear [weapons] program w/o accountability.

 AP reporter: It is completely fluid.

Price: It is a point at which we will no longer pursue the mutual return to compliance with the JCPOA [2015 #Iran nuclear deal].

AP reporter: Yeah, but that point could be tomorrow or it could be 5 years from now.

Price: That's correct. Image

 Here's something you won't find on mainstream media:

#Iran has used the Obama/Biden years to extensively violate the 2015 nuclear deal. This was not the case during the Trump years.

Read my report based on credible sources.

 28 years ago today #Iran-backed Hezbollah bombed the AMIA Jewish center in Buenos Aires, leaving at least 85 dead and more than 300 injured.

Tehran blueprinted and ordered this horrific terrorist attack. Accountability is long overdue.
2)
 An Argentine judge accused #Iran in 2006 of being behind the attacks, and indicted several senior Iranian officials.

In August 2021, two of the charged suspects, Ahmad Vahidi and Mohsen Rezai, were appointed to government of Ebrahim Raisi. ImageImageImage
3)
 Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior advisor to #Iran's dictator Ali Khamenei, has also been charged in Argentina for homicide in connection with the 1994 AMIA bombing that killed 85.

BTW, the Biden admin, in concessions to Tehran, has rescinded sanctions from Velayati and Rezaie. Image

Senior adviser to #Iran's dictator Ali Khamenei says Tehran is 'capable of building nuclear bomb'

Just wait for the Biden admin, backed by Tehran's network of apologists/lobbyists, argue that there is a fatwa banning the regime from creating a bomb.
reuters.com/world/middle-e…
"In a few days we were able to enrich uranium up to 60% and we can easily produce 90% enriched uranium ... Iran has the technical means to produce a nuclear bomb but there has been no decision by Iran to build one," Kamal Kharrazi said.
#Iran Image
Periodic reminder:
Kamal Kharrazi was the man former U.S. secretary of state John Kerry secretly met with in Paris back in May 2018 and probably told the Iranian delegation to wait out Trump’s first term.
