According to a statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Tehran has strongly denounced the resolution issued by the European Parliament, saying it contains unfounded allegations about recent events in Iran and includes interventionist and irresponsible assertions against the Islamic Republic.
The statement said the European Parliament — many of whose members have supported the oppressive sanctions and complied with illegal US sanctions against Iran, and also collaborated with the Israeli regime in acts of military aggression — lacks any moral authority to lecture Iran on human rights.
The Foreign Ministry said the European Parliament’s conduct, particularly its response to the genocide of Palestinians and continued violations by the Israeli regime in West Asia, has stripped it of credibility on issues of human rights and the rule of law.
The statement added that the European Parliament’s silence toward events in occupied Palestine and its stance on developments inside Iran represent “two sides of the same coin.” It blamed supporters of the Israeli regime for distorting facts and ignoring the clear role of Tel Aviv and the Washington in inciting violence in Iran.
According to the statement, the drafters of the European Parliament’s resolution knowingly relied on narratives produced by an Israeli-linked media and war-oriented circles in the United States. It said that despite documented evidence — including images, audio files, and field reports — showing that peaceful protests were driven into violence by terrorist elements affiliated with Israel, the resolution repeated the “stereotypical accusations” against Iran’s security forces and legal institutions.
The Foreign Ministry said the resolution violates fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter and international law, particularly respect for national sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs, demonstrating once again the European Parliament’s disregard for the rule of law.
Iran reaffirmed that it is committed, in accordance with its constitution and international legal obligations, to safeguarding the fundamental rights of its people while also ensuring public order, national security, and sovereignty against terrorist acts and foreign threats.
In the concluding section of the statement, the Foreign Ministry expressed strong objection to the “insulting language” used in the resolution against Iran’s official institutions and figures, warning that any illegal or interventionist decisions or positions targeting Iran’s armed forces and security institutions will be met with reciprocal measures. The responsibility for the consequences of such actions, the ministry said, will rest with those who initiated them.
