European Troika Issues Unilateral Stance Against Iran, Ignores U.S. Aggression
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, a joint statement by Britain, France, and Germany, collectively known as the European troika, has condemned Iran for alleged attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and regional countries. This condemnation comes without any mention of recent U.S. transgressions against Iranian territory, which contravene international laws and the understanding between Tehran and Washington. The statement falsely claims Iranian attacks and reiterates support for freedom of navigation, calling for a return to ceasefire and negotiations.
The three European nations, in their joint statement, sided with actions that violate international law by the United States, asserting: “We condemn Iran’s reckless attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and regional countries, including Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, and Jordan.”
These countries disregarded the fact that the Strait of Hormuz was operational before the American-Zionist aggression on Iranian territory jeopardized its security. They emphasized their support for the “swift and full resumption of international navigation in the Strait of Hormuz” and expressed “full solidarity with their partners in the Persian Gulf region.”
The statement further called for the re-establishment of a ceasefire between the United States and Iran and for negotiations aimed at de-escalating regional tensions.
While the European troika urges continued negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, it is noteworthy that two previous U.S. aggressions on Iranian soil occurred amidst indirect discussions between Tehran and Washington. These incidents demonstrated to the world that the U.S. is not genuinely seeking dialogue.
