The Embassy of Iran in Vienna (Austria) has lashed out against the head of European Union diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, considering that her condemnation of the blockade imposed by Tehran in the Strait of Hormuz represents the "height" of Brussels' "hypocrisy", by overlooking that it is, she maintains, a "strictly defensive" decision in the face of the offensive initiated last February 28 by the United States and Israel, countries that Kallas "does not even dare to name".
The statement from the Iranian legation in Austria, disseminated on social media, is published alongside Kallas's original message, in which the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy criticized the legislative initiative promoted by Iran to charge for transit through the strait, calling it contrary to International Law.
As a reply, the Embassy has reproached Kallas for being mistaken in urging Iran to comply with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, since "it is a treaty to which Iran is not even a party" and, furthermore, considers it "the height of hypocrisy" to demand such compliance when Iran, which is a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, has suffered attacks from the United States and Israel against its nuclear facilities, in violation of said agreement.
"Iran's peaceful and protected nuclear facilities were attacked by the same powers whose names Kallas refuses to mention. What kind of advisors surround her? A group of spineless puppets, just like the sycophants surrounding Trump?", lamented the Iranian Embassy.
"The hypocrisy plaguing the EU has reached an alarming level, to the point that its officials no longer even bother to argue coherently, limiting themselves to stringing together empty words in a grotesque parody of political discourse", the diplomatic mission in Vienna, the usual setting for the now frustrated international talks on the Iranian nuclear program, has repudiated.
"International law must be dignified for all: Iranians, Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Iraqis, Yemenis, and all oppressed peoples. No one has the right to hypocritically instrumentalize it to serve their own interests and crush the legitimate demands of others," the Embassy concluded.
