Europe Ought to Recover Itself: Iranian Diplomat
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – An Iranian deputy foreign minister reminded the European Union of the need for “self-recovery”, saying the EU should abandon its self-centered and irresponsible behavior.
In a post on his X account on Friday morning, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi gave details of his talks with Enrique Mora, the chief of staff of the EU foreign policy chief.
Gharibabadi noted that he and Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Majid Takht Ravanchi have “had a frank discussion with Enrique Mora on a variety of issues, including the perspective of nuclear and sanctions lifting negotiations in light of recent developments.”
“It was reaffirmed to him that EU should abandon its self-centered and irresponsible behavior towards issues and challenges of this continent and international matters,” he said.
“Europe should not project its own problems and mistakes onto others, including with regard to the conflict in Ukraine. With their complicit behavior towards the ongoing genocide in Gaza, Europe -specifically the three major countries- lack any moral ground to preach others on human rights,” Gharibabadi stated.
“Similarly, with regard to the nuclear issue of Iran, Europe has failed to be a serious player due to lack of self-confidence and responsibility. Europe is in need of self-recovery,” he underlined.
