Last month marked a historic turning point for the European Union in its dealings with the Iranian regime and its smiling Foreign Minister Javad Zarif. A court in Belgium convicted one of Zarif s top diplomats for direct involvement in a brazen act of terrorism on European soil, and sentenced his and his three accomplices to 20, 18, 17, and 15 years in prison, respectively.

Shakespeare wrote in “The Merchant of Venice” that “The truth will out.” Last week, the truth did come out about the terrorist Iranian regime. For that, the world owes a debt of gratitude to the Belgian people and their law enforcement and judicial system.
A Belgian court ruled on Thursday that the regime’s foiled bombing of a public gathering in the outskirts of Paris in June 2018 was conducted by a senior diplomat and approved at the highest state levels. This marked the first time that a senior Tehran official has been put on trial for direct involvement in state-sponsored terrorism and it is a game changer.
