The Dutch Intelligence service has expelled
two Iranian embassy staff on terrorism accusations.
“We can confirm that the Netherlands has
expelled two persons accredited to the Iranian embassy,” a spokesperson for
Dutch intelligence was quoted by Reuters as saying.
“All these arrests and expulsions are part
of our enemies’ attempts to harm efforts to salvage the nuclear deal,” a senior
Iranian official told Reuters.
Earlier this week, Belgium said it had
arrested two Belgians of Iranian origin suspected of plotting to bomb an
Iranian opposition rally on the outskirts of Paris.
