This happened in a European Union country, yet the EU will do nothing except continue to appease and bankroll the Islamic Republic.
“Iranian Dissident Escapes Assassination Attempt in Netherlands,” Iran International, June 26, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
An Iranian dissident escaped an assassination attempt in the Netherlands earlier this month, according to the French daily Le Monde, in what seems to be yet another sign of Iran’s resolve to silence voices of dissent outside the country.
The targeted dissident, Siamak Tadayon Tahmasebi, was singled out in an Iranian intelligence press release last summer, accused of leading a “terrorist” ring inside Iran from exile. The statement, dated 30 August 2023, linked Tahmasebi to the Israeli secret service.
On 6 June, Tahmasebi noticed two men attempting to enter his home near Amsterdam. He alerted the police, who arrived in time to arrest the armed intruders. The northern Netherlands prosecutor’s office confirmed the arrests and the possession of firearms by the intruders.
One of the two suspects, Mehrez Ayari, is a 38-year-old Tunisian criminal from Villejuif, Val-de-Marne, France. He has been previously linked to the failed assassination of Spanish politician Alejo Vidal-Quadras, a supporter of Iranian opposition, in November 2023.
“When I learned about Ayari’s profile,” Tahmasebi told Le Monde, “I was half happy because the police had caught a big fish, and half worried because it meant that the Islamic Republic really wanted to kill me: they had sent a professional.”…

That’s similar to how Iran was trying to assassinate Salman Rushdie in Britain for his book “The Satanic Verses.”
Levy says
Salman Rushdie was as well shot in America, where there has been no security to keep him safe
Mike says
He wasn’t shot, he was viciously stabbed multiple times by a young American Islamist.
He (Rushdie) lost one of his eyes and now wears an eyepatch.
He is also receiving rehabilitation for numerous injuries, including trying to restore the full use of one of his arms and hands.

࿗Infidel࿘ says
Since Wilders is one of the backseat drivers calling the shots, he should force the government to terminate diplomatic relations w/ Iran, if they currently exist

The funny thing is that I’m told by Dutch folks that they have never heard of this story.
Rufolino says

Red Bee says
