(Iran International) A former Iranian official who has been under “administrative detention” in France since June 3 was detained for links to the Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force, among other reasons, Iran International has learned.
Bashir Biazar, a former director [at] Iran’s state broadcast[er], “is connected with the Unit 840 of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) whose mission is to conduct covert and/or terrorist operations outside Iran,” according to French Interior Ministry documents seen by Iran International.
The documents introduce Biazar as a “producer for Iran’s state radio and television” and as someone “very close to pro-regime Iranians or official representatives of the Islamic Republic.”
