Assadi himself narrowly failed to escape back to Austria, where he enjoys diplomatic immunity in line with his multiple years of work in the Iranian embassy.
In the aftermath of the arrests, a spokesperson for the Belgian judiciary remarked that nearly every Iranian diplomat in Europe is like Assadi, is an operative of the Iranian secret services, working and residing in Europe as a sort of sleeper cell.
The National Council of Resistance of Iran - the organisation behind the rally that Assadi's terrorists were targeting - was quick to echo this sentiment and to recommend that the nations of Europe prosecute the arrestees to the fullest extent of the law and then proceed to investigate and expel other potential terrorist diplomats throughout Europe.
In March, authorities in Albania arrested two Iranian operatives who were planning a terror attack on the residence of more than 2,000 members of the People's Mojahedin Organisation of Iran, the main constituent group in the NCRI coalition.
It underscores the need to address that persistent threat, and to at least, listen to the advice of the PMOI and the NCRI in pushing Iranian "Diplomats" out of Europe altogether.
Combating the Iranian terrorist threat begins with a broader severance of diplomatic ties, but it ends with coordinated, multilateral pressure by all the peaceful, democratic nations of the world, involving economic sanctions, international criminal proceedings, and more.
Although European nations may be disinclined to listen to the American sales pitch on this topic, they would do well to think back on recent close calls involving Iranian terrorism on European soil.
