Man 'in suicide vest' threatens to blow himself up outside Iranian embassy in Paris

[Social Media]

 

In a tense and potentially dangerous situation, a man wearing what appears to be a suicide vest has barricaded himself inside the Iranian consulate in Paris, threatening to detonate explosives. Reports indicate that he is also armed with an object resembling a grenade. French police, including officers from the special BRI armed unit, have swiftly responded to the scene, cordoning off the area and evacuating the public as a precautionary measure.

 

The incident unfolds against a backdrop of escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. Recent hostilities between the two nations have seen exchanges of missile strikes, with each side retaliating against the other. These actions have intensified fears of a broader conflict erupting in the volatile Middle East region.

 

 

However, it remains unclear whether this specific incident in Paris is directly linked to the ongoing crisis between Iran and Israel. The situation is fluid, and authorities are working to assess the threat and bring about a peaceful resolution.

 

The Iranian consulate's contact with local law enforcement indicates the seriousness of the situation. The man is reportedly holed up inside a room within the consulate, with the ambassador present. Such a scenario underscores the urgency and delicacy of the response required by authorities.

 

As police prepare for a potential intervention, the safety of all individuals involved, including embassy staff and law enforcement officers, remains paramount. The interruption of Metro Line 6 underscores the gravity of the situation and the need to ensure public safety.

Does the Iranian Embassy in Paris have a convenient balcony...

When you import conflicts from around the world into western suburbs this is the result. 

 

Sydney, London, Paris. All recent examples.

 

Fortunately diversity is their greatest strength .

 

Homogenous societies must really be wondering where they went wrong. 😂 I bet the likes of Japan are rushing through legislation to get more of this type of thing into Japanese cities...

So if homogeneous societies are a better model as you imply, should all countries 1) stop immigration and 2) repatriate immigrants?

From what I read in the French news sites, the guy is an Iranian opponent to the current regime, and the explosives were fake.

Japan is heading into its very own crisis for which this ‘homogeneous society’ of yours is not a solution.

 

And Japan has had a few worse terrorism incidents than a guy with a fake bomb vest.

 

And that’s before we get into the part France and other western nations have played in creating these conflicts you now insist are being imported

There’s certainly been an increase in bleating and whining.

Of course not. That would be ridiculous. 

 

Immigration should be tightly controlled so that the people who come and a) not extremists b) have a skill that that country needs and c) have a willingness to integrate. 

 

The level should also be limited so that the existing culture is not eroded.

Hold on! let me get my camera, could you count to three before you pull the pin?

How could a person enter a embassy or Consulate wearing a suicide vest undedetected with weapons?

CURIOUS.

The requirements you outline are effectively in operation in the UK currently.

 

The UK government doesn't enforce the second requirement regarding skills for refugees which imo is correct given that these individuals are fleeing persecution.

 

At what level does immigration start to erode the existing culture? What criteria should be employed to measure this?

Oh... you won't come out ..... ?
