Iran accuses EU of acting as Israel’s ‘apologist’ (aje.io)

The spokesperson of the Iranian Foreign Ministry has accused the European Union of acting as an “apologist” for Israel after the bloc’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas raised concerns over Tehran’s nuclear programme.

In a post on X, Esmaeil Baghaei directly addressed Kallas, urging her to “please stop acting as the aggressor’s apologist”.

He also said: “How can you express concern over Iran’s peaceful program that is under the most robust IAEA inspections and ignore the fact that the Israeli regime has a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons?!”

Also, the world doesn't know the amount of nuclear weapons Israel has because they do not allow inspections, something Iran does. But western ghouls would like you to believe that Iran are the baddies.

with this and voteing human rights to food, water, shelter, etc; you'd think that this would be obvious, but no.

Yeah but the West entertains me with social media, films, and music. Also gay rights so it’s much better than the backwards barbarians in the global south who deserve everything bad.

As much as I hate the awful Iranian regime, they're not wrong.

Don't make theocratic dictators be right FFS!
