ERBIL — Dutch Foreign Minister Stef Blok said Iranian intelligence service were involved in at least two assassinations of political oppositions in the Netherlands.

The Dutch intelligence service “has strong indications that Iran was involved in the assassinations of two Dutch nationals of Iranian origin, in Almere in 2015 and in The Hague in 2017,” Reuters quoted a letter by Blok to the Dutch parliament on Thursday.

Earlier the day, Danish Foreign Minister Anders Samuelsen revealed that the EU had agreed to enact sanctions against Iranian Intelligence Service.

“EU just agreed to enact sanctions against the Iranian Intelligence Service for its assassination plots on European soil. Strong signal from the EU that we will not accept such behaviour in Europe,” Samuelsen wrote on his Twitter feed.
