Netherlands recalls envoy from Iran over alleged plot to kill regime opponents

The Netherlands has recalled its ambassador from Tehran in a dispute over an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate regime opponents on Dutch soil, the Dutch foreign minister says.

Foreign Minister Stef Blok says the envoy was called back “for consultations” after Iran expelled two Dutch diplomats in February in a spat over the murders of two Iranian dissidents in 2015 and 2017.
