Iran: French police were ‘slow to respond’ when Kurds attacked Paris embassy Friday
2018-09-17
[Rudaw] Iran on Saturday accused French police of being too slow to respond to an assault on its embassy in Gay Paree on Friday by Kurdish activists outraged by Tehran’s missile attack on Koya last week.

According to Fars News Agency, a group of around 15 Kurds affiliated with Komala, a Kurdish opposition party, arrived at the Iranian Embassy

in Gay Paree on Friday and proceeded to and smash its windows with stones, fire extinguishers, and computer parts and burn the Iranian flag. The activists did not breech the building itself.

"The French government should take all necessary measures to protect Iranian diplomatic missions in that country," Iranian foreign ministry front man Bahram Qasemi was quoted as saying by the state news agency IRNA on Saturday.

"Unfortunately, the French police did not arrive as expected on the scene on time, although the assailants were members of a terrorist organization," he added.

Qasemi claimed a number of the protesters were jugged

and called for them to face trial and punishment.

French police were not immediately available for comment, according to Rooters.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) fired seven surface-to-surface missiles on September 8 striking the Kurdistan Region refugee camps and headquarters of two Iranian-Kurdish parties, the PDKI and the KDP-I, while they were holding leadership meetings.

Seventeen people were killed, including several party leaders, and 46 were maimed in the attack.

Iran’s missile attack on Kurdish parties in Koya was a message to its enemies, the commander of the IRGC said Friday.

"The IRGC’s recent Dire Revenge against holy warriors had a very meaningful message for the enemies, particularly for the superpowers who assume that they can impose their dirty objectives and bullying on us," Maj. Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari said at a funeral in Tehran, Tasnim news reported.

He touted their stockpile of missiles with an accuracy and range that give Iran "unmatched capabilities."

The strike on the PDKI and KDP-I was a demonstration of their precision, he explained.

PDKI and KDP-I seek greater political and cultural rights for Kurds in Iran. They resumed their armed struggle against the Iranian regime a couple of years ago.

Tehran frequently accuses the US and Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
of backing the parties that are based in the Kurdistan Region.
