History of Iran regime’s terrorism
The Iranian government, under the command of Khamenei, the Supreme Leader, has a long case of assassination and murder of its opponents, including the assassination of Mohammad Hossein Naqdi in Italy, Kazem Rajavi Rajavi in Switzerland, Ghassemlou, Sharafkandi and Shapur Bakhtiar and hundreds of others, in operations carried out by terrorists like the list above.
