Nika Nikoubin was accused of stabbing a man during a date at the neck because ‘she wanted revenge’ for Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani’s death
Nika Nikoubin Stab A Man In Las Vegas
A Nika Nikoubin was accused of seducing a man to a Las Vegas area hotel and stabbing him in an act of revenge over the US takedown of an Iranian general and has been expelled from the Texas campus where she had enrolled under the radar despite a Nevada judge ordering her home arrest.
Officials at the University of Texas said that Thursday Nika Nikoubin was admitted to the school for the spring 2023 semester. Police in Henderson, 16 miles from downtown Las Vegas, captured Nikoubin on attempted murder and other charges in March 2022, alleging she met a man on a dating app, seduced him to a hotel, and blindfolded him during sex then allegedly stabbed the man twice in the neck, FOX 5 Las Vegas reported at the time. He survived, escaped the room, and called 911.
The Nika Nikoubin Not Pleaded Guilty
According to court records, Nika Nikoubin told investigators “she wanted revenge” for Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian Quds Force commander’s death in a drone strike in 2020. She has pleaded not guilty to the charges and was put on house arrest awaiting trial.
Dallas police detective Rod Bishop told Clark County judge earlier this week the school was surprised to learn she was in their jurisdiction, and they had not been notified by Nevada authorities. Bishop said that campus police learned Nikoubin was under house arrest in Dallas only when a reporter reached out for a comment regarding the community’s safety after Nikoubin booked “a singing event,” according to court records.
Alanna Bondy Nikoubin’s attorney did not respond to a request for comment. According to the US Department of Defense, Soleimani was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and allied troops and injuries to thousands of additional. Days before then-President Trump demanded the drone strike that killed him, he had orchestrated a deadly attack on a U.S. base in Iraq.
