The spokesman said Iran is seeking to preserve and expand its relations with
all states based on good-faith and mutual respect but at the same time, as a
victim of terrorism, it once again calls for a resolute and indiscriminate fight
by all members of the world community against terrorism.
Qassemi described the Dutch government’s decision to expel the Iranian diplomats
as illogical and illegitimate, saying the Islamic Republic expects Dutch
officials to refrain from leveling baseless and absurd accusations against
others.
The Netherlands is expected to remain committed to their international pledges
to arrest and put on trial the terrorist elements for whom the Interpol has
issued Red Notice, he added.
The spokesman also stressed that the Netherlands’ government should explain
about its move to shelter the criminal and terrorist members of the notorious
anti-Iran terrorist group the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO), which has the
blood of the Iranian people on their hands.
As earlier announced to the ambassador of the Netherlands, the Islamic Republic
of Iran reserves the right to retaliate, he went on to say.
