The spokesman for Denmark’s Defence committee and member of the Danish conservative party Naser Khader considers the Iranian diplomats who belong to the Revolutionary Guards as a threat to Danish community and asked the government to expel them from the Danish soil.

“We must react very consistently in Denmark and get those who represent the Revolutionary Guards at the Iranian embassy in Copenhagen, out of the country,” Khader told DR (Denmark Radio) on Saturday.

Foreign Minister Anders Samuelsen has recently recalled the Danish ambassador to Iran, Danny Annan, after the Police Intelligence Service (PET) announced that the service investigates an alleged Iranian terror attempt against a person in Denmark. But Khader believes this is not enough.

According to the prominent Danish-Syrian politician the Foreign Minister must identify the Iranian diplomats who are working for Iran’s Revolutionary Guards or “spies” as he called them and expel these agents from the country.

The Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) announced earlier that its forces in collaboration with Swedish and Norwegian police arrested an Iranian agent, who was planning to carry out political assassinations in Denmark, Danish local media reported at that time.

According to the Scandinavian media the agent in custody is reportedly Norwegian citizen with Iranian origin, who was planning to assassinate several Iranian Arab activists live in Denmark.

Iran has also accused by France and Netherland in previous separate cases for carrying out assassination in their soil.
