Dutch Recall Envoy From Iran in Murder Plot Row

by Agence France-Presse

   THE HAGUE --

   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 said Monday.

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