Is the Islamic Republic Behind the Attempted Assassination of This Spanish Politician?

The shooting of Alejandro Vidal-Quadras, a former Spanish politician, has prompted an investigation with potential international implications, including a speculated link to his associations with the Iranian opposition group MEK (Mujahedin-e Khalq). Vidal-Quadras, recovering after being shot in the face in Madrid, hinted at this possibility from his hospital bed. The MEK, with whom Vidal-Quadras has had long-standing ties, began as a Marxist group opposing Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's rule in Iran. It gained notoriety for a series of attacks against U.S. officials in Iran during the 1970s, which it now denies. This group, once labeled a terrorist organization by the U.S., has since remodeled itself as an opposition force against the current Iranian regime. Tehran's stance towards the MEK is intensely hostile, having accused Vidal-Quadras of supporting terrorism due to his connections with the group. This background adds a layer of complexity to the shooting, as Vidal-Quadras is a prominent figure with a history of involvement in contentious international politics. His shooting, carried out in broad daylight by an unidentified assailant, suggests the possibility of a politically motivated attack, given his past affiliations and the Iranian government's open disdain for the MEK and its supporters. The Spanish police's investigation, expanding to include a unit specializing in terrorism and extremism, underscores the seriousness and potential geopolitical ramifications of this incident.
