Why it matters:
This development highlights escalating tensions between Iran and Europe, particularly regarding diplomatic relations and human rights issues, which could impact future negotiations on regional stability and cooperation.
The big picture:
Araghchi pointed out that while the European Parliament has remained inactive regarding the "genocide in Gaza," it quickly acted against Iranian diplomats following recent riots in Iran. This contrast raises questions about the double standards of European actions in the realm of human rights.
What he is saying:
"More than two years of genocide in Gaza that has taken the lives of seventy thousand Palestinians did not compel the European Parliament to take any real action against the Israeli regime, while Benjamin Netanyahu continues to fly freely over European airspace despite facing legal proceedings at the International Criminal Court." Araghchi added, "People are not stupid; they clearly see what is happening."
Araghchi emphasizes that Iran is not seeking tension with the EU but will respond to restrictions.
He criticized Germany's Chancellor for its "double standards" regarding human rights.
The statement reveals ongoing Iranian frustration over perceived biases in international diplomacy.
Go deeper:
The nationwide rallies were held across Iran after recent unrest backed by U.S.-Israeli-backed terrorist acts and were marked by large public participation in support of national sovereignty and resistance against foreign pressure.
In recent days, Iran has witnessed a new wave of unrest involving armed terrorists and rioters. These groups are supported by the United States and Israel.
Following the failure of Washington and Tel Aviv to incite public unrest or destabilize the Islamic Republic through previous political and media efforts, these armed terrorists and rioters attempted to fuel internal chaos and insecurity through violent means.
