WASHINGTON, June 10 – A coalition of Western nations on Wednesday issued a forceful joint condemnation of Iranian-sponsored assassination schemes targeting dissidents, journalists and Jewish communities across multiple countries.
The collaborative statement, issued through the U.S. Department of State, declared: “We stand united in our determination to protect our countries and our people against these threats. The Islamic Republic of Iran must halt these actions now.”
The coalition specifically pointed to “lethal plotting” and related activities carried out by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Intelligence Organization, Quds Force, and Ministry of Intelligence and Security.
The allied nations also denounced a recent wave of attacks throughout Europe that were claimed by the pro-Iranian organization Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (HAYI).
“Attempts to kill, kidnap, harass, intimidate, or otherwise attack people on our soil, undermines national sovereignty and international norms. These actions must stop immediately,” the countries stated in their joint declaration.
