Albania severs diplomatic ties with Iran
Albania, which has for years hosted anti-Iran terrorists in criminal collusion with the US, on Wednesday severed diplomatic ties with Tehran, accusing it of orchestrating a "cyber-attack" against Tirana.
The southern European country has ordered Iranian diplomats and embassy staff to leave within 24 hours, following a so-called investigation into the July attack, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama said.
The United States quickly jumped in defense of its NATO ally, calling for Iran to be “held accountable for this unprecedented cyber incident.”
Iran has not yet formally reacted to the development but experts believe the move has been choreographed to show support for the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), an anti-Iran terrorist group based in Albania that has carried out numerous acts of terrorism on Iranian soil.
The group has martyred thousands of Iranians in terrorist attacks since the victory of the Islamic Revolution, including senior political leaders, religious scholars and ordinary civilians.
Albania took in around 3,000 members of the MKO terrorist group in 2016 at the request of Washington, after the group was disowned by Iraq and snubbed by many European countries.
