Iran's UN mission rejects claim of kidnapping plot against Belgian politician
Iran’s EU mission, located in the Belgian capital of Brussels, has dismissed as “delusional” claims of a human rights activist-cum-politician about the Islamic Republic’s attempt to abduct her via Turkey.
The dismissal came after Darya Safai, a Belgian parliamentarian of Iranian descent, claimed that the European country's police had warned her of a plot by Tehran to “kidnap” her “via Turkey” over supporting the labeling of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) as a “terrorist group.”
Safai made the claim of abduction just two days after she posted on her Instagram page a selfie photo with Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran's deposed Shah, a monarchic despot who was toppled by the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
“A new cheap & stylish way of playing grandiose & pleasing your genocidal apartheid boss: just act delusional and hallucinate that you were going to be abducted by a phantom enemy,” Rabat Jazi wrote in a post on X.
“No matter how ridiculous it might appear.”

The claim by Safai was also mocked by anti-Iran and monarchist elements abroad, who said the claim was part of her struggle to make herself seem important.
The Belgian lawmaker had earlier pushed for the approval of a resolution to place the IRGC on the European terrorist list in the Belgian House of Representatives.
Reza Pahlavi unequivocally threw his weight behind Israel’s 12-day aggression against Iran last month.
The US-backed Israeli assault, which was met with crushing response from the Iranian Armed Forces and the IRGC, claimed the lives of nearly 1,100 people, including innocent women and children as well Iran’s top military brass and elite scientists.
On June 22, the United States also entered the war and bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, in a clear violation of international law and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Two days later, Iran, through its successful retaliatory operations against both the Israeli regime and the US, managed to impose a halt to the illegal assault as Tel Aviv, overwhelmed by the unceasing counterstrikes, was compelled to seek a ceasefire.
