Iran urges the EU to consider measures to support those murdered by the German-Iranian executed by Tehran

MADRID 29 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran, Abbas Araghchi, has reproached the European Union for its condemnation of the execution of the German-Iranian citizen Jamshid Sharmahd, accused of having participated in several attacks in the country, and has urged the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy, Josep Borrell, to take measures to support the victims of the executed man.

“I like to believe him when he says that human life and dignity must be protected. The problem is that his European colleagues shamelessly support the genocide in Gaza and the massacre in Lebanon,” said Araghchi in response to previous statements by Borrell. which had condemned Sharmahd’s execution “in the strongest terms” and had announced that the EU “is considering measures in response.”

Thus, the Iranian Foreign Minister has proposed to the European Union not only measures to support the German-Iranian victims, but also measures “to put an end to the massacre of more than 50,000 Palestinians in Gaza and also to “allow that 1.5 million refugees in Lebanon return to their homes.” “Otherwise, Europe will only represent hypocrisy,” he stressed.

The Iranian Judiciary has reported that it has executed Sharmahd, considering him the head of the Tondar terrorist group, accused of leading terrorist attacks by order of the West and the Israeli Intelligence services, according to a statement collected by the Iranian news agency Mizan. .

For his part, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has stated that the execution is “a scandal” and has denounced that the accused “did not even have the opportunity to defend himself against the accusations made against him at trial.”

The group, based in the United States and known as Tondar (Thunder, in Persian) seeks to restore the monarchy overthrown in the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Iranian authorities claimed that Sharmahd was the leader of the group and that he had planned more than twenty terrorist attacks, although five “were successful,” including a 2008 mosque bombing in Shiraz that killed 14 people.
