Tehran, IRNA – An Iranian court sentenced the ringleader of a terrorist group to the death penalty on Tuesday.
Jamshid Sharmahd, an Iranian-German national, was found guilty of corruption on earth by Tehran Revolutionary Court.
He is said to be the head of a terrorist group known as Tondar which is based in the United States.
Sharmahd, who guided the armed and sabotage acts against Iran from the US, was arrested in complicated operations by the Iranian security forces early in August 2020.
Tondar, or the Kingdom Assembly of Iran, also known as Soldiers of the Kingdom Assembly of Iran, is an armed monarchist terrorist group seeking to overthrow the ruling government and restore monarchy in Iran.
Tondar claimed responsibility for the 2008 Shiraz explosion at the Hosseynieh Seyed al-Shohada in which 14 people, including children, were killed and 215 others were injured.
This ruling can be appealed to the Supreme Court.
