“Several countries are presently attempting to avert the eruption of all-out war in our region. None of them are European,” Araghchi wrote on his X account on Thursday after Europe designated the IRGC as a terrorist group.
“Europe is instead busy fanning the flames. After pursuing ‘snapback’ at the behest of the U.S., it is now making another major strategic mistake by designating our National Military as a supposed ‘terrorist organization’.”
Araghchi also said, “Putting aside the blatant hypocrisy of its selective outrage—taking zero action in response to Israel’s Genocide in Gaza and yet rushing to ‘defend human rights’ in Iran—Europe’s PR stunt mainly seeks to cloak that it is an actor in severe decline.”
“Moreover, as the continent is certain to be massively impacted by an all-out war in our region—including the knock-on effects of surging energy prices—the EU’s current posture is deeply damaging to its own interests. Europeans deserve better than what their governments have to offer.”
