Iran to release Green Movement leader from house arrest, son says

Iran set to release Mehdi Karroubi, one of the prominent figures behind the 2009 Green Movement protests, who has been under house arrest since 2011.

Iran’s ties to Western organized crime networks

Tehran’s ambitions extend beyond backing Shia and Sunni Islamist groups in the Middle East. On March 13, the US Treasury Department sanctioned Sweden’s Foxtrot gang for its ties to the Iranian regime, underscoring Tehran’s longstanding practice of cultivating criminal networks across Europe and the Americas to assassinate dissidents and target American, European, and Israeli interests.
