Security measures are intensifying in the Netherlands to protect Iranian dissidents following a shooting incident involving a man critical of Tehran. Dutch Justice Minister David van Weel confirmed the escalation of security efforts without divulging further details.

The victim, a 36-year-old police official, was seriously wounded in the attack that took place on Thursday. Authorities have yet to identify the perpetrator and are considering all possibilities, including links to Iran, as part of their ongoing investigation.
