Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said that the European Union's stance of siding with the US is an indication of its "moral decay and political incompetence".
"The #EU appears to be surrendering its sovereignty, its laws & regulations, its values and its ethics to American coercion," Esmaeil Baqaei wrote in a post on X.
Baqaei questioned the EU's support for "most predatory and unlawful unilateral coercive measures" against Tehran, saying that it stands contrary to international law and the union's own legislation
"The Union’s endorsement of America’s unlawful economic war constitutes a grave violation of international law, too. Every EU member state shall be held accountable for the consequences of its contribution to this wrongful act," he added.
The ministry's spokespersion expressed that the EU cannot back Washington’s "#economic_terrorism", while it is "claiming to seek de-escalation and regional stability".
