The United States will continue to negotiate a mutual return to the landmark Iranian nuclear accord, despite allegations of an Iranian-orchestrated plot to kidnap an American journalist, US officials said Wednesday.
According to a federal indictment unsealed Tuesday, four Iranian operatives have been charged over a conspiracy to kidnap Masih Alinejad, a Brooklyn-based Iranian dissident and author who fled Iran in 2009. Prosecutors say the Iranian spy network had surveilled Alinejad and were planning to forcibly take her to Iran, “where the victim’s fate would have been uncertain at best.”
The four alleged operatives remain at large in Iran and a California-based woman suspected of supporting the operation was arrested and arraigned last week, the Department of Justice said. A spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday called the allegations against them baseless and ridiculous.”
