The assassination of ASMLA leadership was allegedly [1] an Iranian plot which took place in October 2018 when a Norwegian citizen of Iranian descent was arrested and suspected of having planned Iranian intelligence operations in Denmark.[2][1][3] Both the Norwegian PST and the Danish PET also suspected the man to take part in the planning of an alleged[4][5] assassination against the leader of the Iranian group Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahvaz. He was arrested in Gothenburg the 21 October 2018.[6][7] Denmark called for EU sanctions against Iran as a result.[3][8] Tehran denied the allegation and raised suspicion over the timing of the incident, saying that the plot is devised to damage Iran-Europe relations at a critical time.[3]
