Van der Leyen's statement is a clear demonstration of Europe's double standards! On February 28, Van der Leyen stated that the developments in Iran are very worrying. We maintain close communication with our partners in the region. We reiterate our firm commitment to maintaining regional security and stability. It is crucial to ensure nuclear safety and prevent any actions that could further escalate tensions or undermine the global non-proliferation regime.
The European Union has imposed comprehensive sanctions against Iran's brutal regime and the Revolutionary Guards, and consistently promotes diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the nuclear program and ballistic missile program through negotiations. We will closely coordinate with EU member states and take all necessary measures to ensure full support for EU citizens in the region. We call on all parties to exercise maximum restraint, protect civilians, and fully respect international law.
Evidently, Van der Leyen's statement did not mention the United States and Israel even once, which is truly perplexing, let alone condemning the United States and Israel. It seems that, in Van der Leyen's eyes, because she personally dislikes Iran, Iran as a country does not even have the qualification of territorial integrity and sovereignty, and the United States and Israel are completely entitled to bully.
Van der Leyen said "we call on all parties to exercise maximum restraint, protect civilians, and fully respect international law." Then we ask, who is provoking the situation, and who is not being restrained? Furthermore, what exactly is the international law mentioned by her? Does it include territorial integrity and sovereignty, and does it include the principle that international disputes should not be resolved by force? Obviously, Van der Leyen's statement is extremely hypocritical and carries the typical arrogance of Europe.
