“The European Parliament and the meddlesome European countries bear direct legal and political responsibility for supporting, facilitating, and paving the way for terrorist acts against the Iranian people and cannot evade accountability to the Iranian nation and world public opinion,” the Iranian lawmakers emphasized.
In a resolution adopted on Thursday, members of the European Parliament expressed what they described as “full solidarity” with Iranians during recent protests over economic problems while calling for the designation of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps as a terrorist organization.
The Iranian lawmakers said the resolution by the European Parliament was a clear example of interference in Iran’s internal affairs.
The statement added that continuing such a “hostile and irresponsible” approach would not weaken the Iranian nation’s resolve, but would instead further damage the political and moral credibility of European authorities in the eyes of the world.
It stressed that the European Parliament, having failed to resolve the EU’s internal problems, now resorts to a policy of projection and interfering in other nations’ affairs to cover up its failures and evade accountability to European citizens.
The EU Parliament meddled in Iran’s internal affairs, claiming to defend human rights in the Islamic Republic, the lawmakers said, adding its resolution amounted to practical support for terrorism and terrorist groups, the statement read.
According to conclusive documents and undeniable evidence, certain foreign intelligence services have had a “direct and organized connection with the leaders of terrorist groups,” and the killing of innocent people on January 8 was carried out with their support, it added.
However, it noted that the Iranians’ mass participation in rallies across the country a few days later “clearly demonstrated national unity and cohesion” and their rejection of riot, chaos, and insecurity.
The Iranian lawmakers emphasized that the mass rallies completely defeated the enemy’s plot to disrupt the country’s order and security.
“The European Parliament and the meddlesome European countries bear direct legal and political responsibility for supporting, facilitating, and paving the way for terrorist acts against the Iranian people and cannot evade accountability to the Iranian nation and world public opinion,” the lawmakers emphasized.
