“Hard Truths”
After the exchange, last Friday, in Oman, between Olivier Vandecasteele and the diplomat-terrorist Assadolah Assadi, they now want to know the “hard truths” who are hidingbehind this episode. This is also the desire of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who could have been the victim of the attempted attack since he was present at the Villepinte rally, as well as former US Justice Minister Michael B.Mukasey. The press release is also signed by some former American intelligence and counter-terrorism pundits, as well as eminent jurists.
Politically, it is clear that these signatories, who do not represent the opinion of the current American government, lean on the Republican side (Bolton was Trump’s adviser, Gingrich is a Republican and Mukasey was a minister under George W. Bush). They have long defended a hard line against Iran, a state they consider completely untrustworthy. “Iran was planning this massive terrorist attack (Editor’s note: in Villepinte), while the nuclear agreement was still in full force”, they recall. At a time when the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) indicates at regular intervals that Iran could soon be in a position to acquire nuclear weapons, the remark is anything but innocent.

“Extortion”
Strictly concerning the Belgian-Iranian exchange, if they admit that Olivier Vandecasteele is an innocent victim of the Mullahs’ regime, these conservative Americans warn that there is “nothing current” in this exchange, believing that “the Iranian clerical dictatorship has carried out a stunning and brazen act of extortion”thus obtaining “a free pass for state-sponsored terrorism.” No doubt they have not heard of the exchange that took place a few months ago between the United States and Russia. As a reminder, the Kremlin had managed to recover Viktor Bout, a notorious international arms trafficker imprisoned in the United States, against basketball player Brittney Griner, captured in Moscow just days before the start of the war in Ukraine.
