Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baqaei, has accused the European Union of sacrificing its independence by aligning with US sanctions against Tehran. In a post on X, Baqaei labeled the EU's stance as a display of moral decay and political incompetence, claiming the bloc is surrendering its sovereignty, laws and regulations, values and ethics to American coercion.
He questioned the EU's support for "predatory and unlawful unilateral coercive measures" against Iran, stating it is in direct violation of international law and the union's own legislation. Baqaei emphasized that every EU member state should be held accountable for the consequences of their contribution to this wrongful act. He further criticized the EU for backing "economic terrorism" from Washington, while simultaneously claiming to seek de-escalation and regional stability, asserting that these two positions are mutually exclusive.
Baqaei's remarks underscore Iran's belief that the EU's actions are a testament to its moral decay and political incompetence.
