US authorities believe Iran involved in killing opposition leader in Istanbul

U.S. authorities believe that the Iranian intelligence service was involved in the assassination of Iranian dissident Masoud Molawi Varjanani in November 2019 in Istanbul. 

Earlier, the agency published material saying that two representatives of the Turkish authorities confirmed to the agency information about involvement in the assassination of Varjanani by Iranian special services.  According to them, two employees of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic, working for Iranian intelligence, "provoked" the incident, which led to the death of the opposition.  It is noted that before leaving for Turkey, Varjanani worked in the Ministry of Defense of Iran, dealing with cybersecurity.

On Wednesday, US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo commented on the news about the "Iranian footprint" in the murder of a dissident.

"Was reported that Iranian diplomats were involved in the murder of a dissident in Turkey are worrying, but are in full accordance with their tasks - Iranian" diplomats "are agents of terror and have committed many killings and bombings in Europe over the past decade," he wrote.  Pompeo on his Twitter page.

On April 1, US President Donald Trump, in his Twitter statement, stated that Iran or its supporters in Iraq were preparing an attack on US forces or targets in that country.  Later Wednesday, Trump, speaking at a briefing at the White House, said that Washington’s response to a possible sortie in Iraq of Iran-related groups would “be larger” than in the previous case.

The situation in the Middle East sharply worsened after a US missile strike on the Baghdad airport on the night of January 3, which killed the commander of the special forces Al-Quds of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC, elite units of the Iranian Armed Forces) Kassem Suleimani.  In response, on the night of January 8, Tehran launched a missile attack on two objects in Iraq that the US military used: Ain al-Assad base and Erbil airport.
