On Saturday, December 12, Iran\u2019s regime executed Ruhollah Zam, a European resident. When European countries condemned his execution, the regime’s foreign ministry summoned their ambassadors, claiming they promoted “terrorism.”<\/p>\n

How could the greatest state-sponsor of terrorism allow itself to label any opposition to human rights violations in Iran as \u2018promotion of terrorism\u2019?<\/p>\n

Domestic human rights violation, and export of terrorism abroad are the regime’s pillars of existence. In fact, despite international condemnation of the gross human rights violations in Iran, the regime’s foreign ministry, mainly its chief Mohammad Javad Zarif<\/a>, try to whitewash the crimes against humanity in Iran. Zarif has even praised the mullahs’ regime as “the greatest democracy” in the Middle East, while Iran has the highest execution rate per capita.<\/p>\n

In other words, Zarif and his ministry will continue defending human rights violations and other crimes of the regime.<\/p>\n

But what has encouraged the regime to blatantly churn out accusations at European countries, such as France, Germany, and Austria, is the European Union’s longtime appeasement policy.<\/p>\n

The EU’s appeasement policy even encouraged the regime to attempt to bomb<\/a> the opposition rally<\/a> in 2018 in Paris. While EU leaders praised Zarif and were eager to meet him, his diplomat-terrorist, Assadollah Assadi<\/a>, transferred explosives to Europe and attempted to cause perhaps the largest terrorist attack on European soil.<\/p>\n
