Woman allegedly stabbed date during sex as revenge for US killing of Iranian commander: police
A 21-year-old woman allegedly stabbed her date inside a Nevada hotel room in retaliation for the death of an Iranian military leader killed in a US drone strike in 2020, authorities said.
Nika Nikoubin, 21, has been charged with attempted murder, two counts of battery and burglary of a business, KLAS-TV reported. She is being held on $60,000 bail.
Nikoubin and the man — whom she met on the dating website Plenty of Fish — agreed to meet at the Sunset Station Hotel and Casino in Henderson, on March 5, renting a room together, police in the city near Las Vegas said.
As the pair began having sex, Nikoubin put a blindfold on the man before turning off the lights, KLAS reported.

Several minutes later, the man “felt a pain on the side of his neck,” according to the outlet.
Police said she stabbed him in the neck “for revenge against US troops for the killing of Qassem Soleimani in 2020.”
