Iran Urges Europe to Condemn US Aggression

Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran's deputy foreign minister for legal and international affairs, has called on European governments to condemn what he described as US aggression against Iran. In a social media post, Gharibabadi stated that he had briefed European envoys on Iran's positions regarding current issues and "criminal American actions."

During the meeting, Gharibabadi asserted that Iran had "inflicted a heavy defeat on the aggressors" during the 40-day Ramadan war and would "decisively defend our territory and national interests" in the new round of US military aggression. He argued that these wars have created no strategic achievement for America and only endanger regional and international peace and security.

Gharibabadi urged Europe to uphold the UN Charter and international law and to condemn the aggression. He noted that "a small number of Europeans, such as Spain, have taken principled positions." He added, "European governments should note that providing bases and territory to the aggressor will place them among the aggressors. The expectation from Europe is that it be a driver of diplomacy, not a follower of the aggressor force."

According to Mehr News Agency, Gharibabadi's remarks come amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States, with Iran seeking international support against US military actions.
