First the new UN Ambassador has some tough words for them, now the EU?
The European Union accused Iran on Friday of destabilizing the Middle East with its nuclear program and threats towards Israel, in a significant hardening of the 25-nation bloc’s tone towards Tehran.
A tough statement drafted for adoption by EU leaders at a summit also condemned Iran’s questioning of the Nazi Holocaust against the Jews.
“The European Council expresses its concern about the negative impact of Iranian policies on stability and security in the Middle East,” The draft statement said.
“The European Council deplores Iran’s failure to take the steps required by the International Atomic Energy Agency board of governors and the UN Security Council, and agrees that this could only have negative consequences for relations between the EU and Iran,” the draft said.
Of course, the proof will be in the final statement, not the draft. And whether or not the UN votes sanctions on Iran.
