Citing an informed security source, Safir Arjan wrote: Reports about an assassination attempt against Abbas Akhondi relate to the past few days, and investigations are ongoing.

Following the holding of a specialized meeting of the Baran Foundation in the National Library complex, an armed person who, according to initial reports, planned to assassinate Abbas Akhundi was arrested.

This meeting was held with the speech of Abbas Akhundi and the topic of "Global Transitions, Value Chain and Architecture of Iran's Development". According to the received information, after the program ended and when Dr. Akhundi was leaving, an armed person got into a fight with his driver. During this conflict, the driver managed to remove the weapon from the attacker's hand and later, with the intervention of the security forces and the police, the said person was arrested.

According to the Iran Reform Front, it is said that during this incident, the arrested person claimed to be connected with another group and stated that even if he is arrested, other people will follow this action. Also, according to the available reports, he mentioned the names of several other personalities as possible targets of assassination.

Based on the initial information, the incident report has been sent to the relevant authorities. More details about the identity of the arrested person, his motive and the possible dimensions of this incident have not been officially announced yet.

Ambassador Arjan quoted a well-informed security source and wrote: The publication of news about the assassination attempt on Abbas Akhundi dates back to the past few days and investigations are ongoing.

Based on the follow-up conducted by the legal authorities, so far no evidence has been obtained that this incident is terrorist or organized.

Due to the possibility of personal assassination and related issues, the case is under investigation.

In recent days, some Zionist and anti-revolutionary media have tried to induce internal insecurity by highlighting the bipolar political atmosphere.

The analysis of the published content shows that some hostile media are trying to aggravate social divisions by inciting public opinion and fueling political differences.

This morning, news about the assassination attempt on the former Minister of Roads at the meeting of the Baran Foundation was published in the National Library.
