Iran calls EU human rights stance hypocritical

1 min read

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman published a post on X condemning Vice‑President Kaja Kallas's human rights comments as hypocritical, alleging the EU provides "logistical and technical support" that enables lethal aggressions allegedly targeting civilians and national infrastructure. The spokesman said the EU refuses to condemn reported war crimes and called the stance "the banality of evil" and "the purest form of hypocrisy." The remarks followed an EU foreign policy chief announcement of new sanctions against several Iranian judges over alleged human rights abuses, marking a public escalation between Iran and EU authorities.

Iran accused the EU of enabling lethal attacks amid new EU sanctions.
