14 nations condemn Iranian intelligence threats in joint statement

Investing.com -- The United States and 13 European allies issued a joint statement Thursday condemning what they describe as growing threats from Iranian intelligence services within their territories.

The coalition, which includes the UK, Canada, Germany, France, and several other nations, expressed unified opposition to Iranian attempts to "kill, kidnap, and harass people in Europe and North America," calling these actions "clear violations" of their sovereignty.

According to the statement, Iranian intelligence services are increasingly collaborating with international criminal organizations to target journalists, dissidents, Jewish citizens, and current and former government officials across Europe and North America.

"This is unacceptable," the joint statement declared. "We consider these types of attacks, regardless of the target, as violations of our sovereignty."

The 14 nations pledged to work together to prevent such actions and called on Iranian authorities to "immediately put an end to such illegal activities" in their respective territories.

The signatories include the United States, United Kingdom (TADAWUL:4280), Albania, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and Sweden.
