Zu Gast in Europa

Der nächste Vertreter des iranischen Regimes in Brüssel. Man gibt sich die Klinke in die Hand:

Iranian exiles are outraged over a European Union decision to invite to the EU Parliament a senior Iranian official who may be implicated in the deadly 1994 bombing of the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires.

The official, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, is the chairman of the Iranian Committee for Foreign Policy and National Security. He has been invited to appear before the EU Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs on Tuesday to discuss Iran-related issues.

According to the European Parliament, his testimony will cover "the Iranian position on regional developments, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [the 2015 nuclear deal] and the current political situation in Iran."

Boroujerdi is considered to be a close confidant of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and has close ties with Hezbollah's senior leadership. In recent weeks, he has advocated a violent crackdown on anti-regime protesters.

He has been a strong advocate of Iran's ballistic missile program, which Iran continues to maintain in violation of the United Nations resolution that adopted the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and the international community.
