Europe justifies its recent actions by claiming to defend human rights and support the Iranian people, but past experiences show that sanctions in practice directly target the lives of nations, not just governments. Sanctioning and designating a portion of Iran’s official and legal armed forces as terrorist groups means threatening public security and ignoring the right to national sovereignty. This approach is not a defense of the people, but rather a hostile and vengeful act against the national unity of the Iranian people—a unity that, through the conscious participation of the people in events like January 12, has thwarted Western destabilization projects and pushed Europe towards intensifying economic and security pressures.
Terrorism Support and a Dangerous Precedent for Europe
Placing the IRGC, which has played a key role in combating regional terrorism, on the list of terrorist groups clearly demonstrates Europe’s indirect support for American-Zionist state terrorism. This is while many anti-Iranian terrorist groups operate freely on European soil. Europe’s silence in the face of Daesh-like crimes in Iran and the genocide in Gaza exposes the deep contradiction in this continent’s anti-terrorism claims. The main danger lies in creating a precedent that, by weakening international law, could push the world towards insecurity and widespread wars.
A Humiliating Submission to United States
While simultaneously making claims of independence in forums like Davos, Europe has in practice demonstrated that it lacks the ability to stand up to the United States. The new sanctions against Iran and the action against the IRGC are a clear example of political extortion to Washington and Tel Aviv. The NATO Secretary General’s admission of the illusion of European independence confirms this reality. These actions have not only failed to increase Europe’s power, but have also accelerated the trend of its political and strategic decline.
Illusion of Rescue and Europe’s Future War
Instead of confronting America’s overreach on issues like Greenland, Europe is trying to present Iran as an alternative arena for tension. This policy is a dangerous illusion; because any conflict with Iran will set the entire region and Europe’s energy interests ablaze. Europe cannot stand by and watch the crisis unfold, expecting immunity. The ultimate result of this path will be nothing less than “Europe burning.”
