On January 8, 1983, two of the Iranian regime's agents were spotted by security guards as they were taking pictures in the vicinity of Auvers-sur-Oise, the headquarters of the National Council of Resistance of Iran. They fled the scene upon realizing that they had been discovered.

The two individuals were identified as Majid (alias), the cultural attaché at the Iranian regime's embassy in Paris, and Mohammad Soleimani, a hard-line Islamist from the Paris branch of the Iran Students Association, a front organization used by the Iranian regime Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) abroad.

Another plan jointly coordinated by the Intelligence Unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and the MOIS was to dispatch a well-trained and armed 14-member hit squad from the IRGC to operate in France. Their mission was to assassinate Massoud Rajavi, the Iranian opposition leader based in Auvers-sur-Oise, by infiltrating his compound using the football field facing the compound.
 
As part of the MOIS plan, Majid and Soleimani traveled to Auvers-sur-Oise with surveillance equipment including highly-sophisticated cameras specially designed for the job. The plan was foiled, however, once French secret service agents discovered the pair.
