Gharibabadi: The expectation from Europe is to be a leader in diplomacy, not a follower of the invading force. Kazem Gharibabadi, the Deputy for Legal and International Affairs of the Foreign Ministry, wrote in a message on the X platform: 🔺In a meeting with 25 European ambassadors and chargés d'affaires, I explained the positions of the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding current issues and the criminal actions of the United States, emphasizing that we inflicted a severe defeat on the invaders in the 40-day war. We will resolutely defend our territory and national interests in the new round of military aggression. 🔺These wars have not created any strategic gains for the United States and only endanger regional and global peace and security. I also mentioned that it is expected for Europe to uphold the United Nations Charter and international law and condemn the invasion. 🔺Of course, a few Europeans, like Spain, have taken principled positions. European governments need to be aware that providing bases and territory to an aggressor will place them among the aggressors. The expectation from Europe is to be a leader in diplomacy rather than a follower of the invading force.
