Iran to EU: 'spare the hypocrisy'

A spokesperson for Iran’s foreign ministry on Tuesday had harsh words for Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission.

In response to von der Leyen’s remarks that the “people of Iran deserve freedom, dignity, and the right to decide their own future”, Esmaeil Baqaei posted on X: “Please spare the hypocrisy”.

“You’ve made a career out of standing on the wrong side of history — green-lighting occupation, genocide, and atrocities, and now laundering U.S./Israeli crime of aggression and war crimes against Iranians,” Baqaei wrote.

Baqaei continued: “Where was your voice when more than 165 innocent IRANIAN little angels were massacred in the city of Minab? Why don’t you say anything when hospitals, historical sites, oil facilities, diplomatic police headquarter, firefighting stations and residential neighborhoods are wickedly targeted?

“Silence in the face of lawlessness and atrocity is nothing less than complicity.”

He's an authoritarian, despicable criminal—but on this one, he's unfortunately right.

It was clear to anyone with two functioning brain cells that this unacceptable and deeply despicable hypocrisy by most Western politicians (and societies) will be exploited by Russian, Iranian etc. thugs.

That's why it's not just rotten but beyond stupid.

@fonecokid He's right. I don't know of any major country in the world that is not run by a dictator, that has not committed atrocities, or ignored, or - worse still - connived, and materially assisted countries committing atrocities.
For 20 years many countries were in Afghanistan...and only made it worse for people there, when they left, then denied asylum to guides and interpreters. Who are the scum? We need to make sure we are not sinners before we throw stones.
