FM warns Europe to abandon failed policies on Iran

Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian cautioned the European governments to discard their failed approach towards the Islamic Republic.

According to Tasnim News Agency, speaking at a joint press conference with his Belarusian counterpart in Tehran on Wednesday, the Foreign Minister warned the European parties not to continue with the unconstructive, hackneyed and failed approaches they have been adopting in the past years.

Pointing to the new sanctions that the Iranian Foreign Ministry has slapped on a number of European institutions and officials, Amir-Abdollahian said those persons and entities have been sanctioned for supporting terrorism and promoting violence and extremism.

He further dismissed the allegations made by Western officials that Iranian drones have been used in the Ukraine war, inviting the Ukrainian authorities to attend a bilateral meeting of experts and present any evidence supporting the accusation.

For his part, Belarusian Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei stressed the need for proper measures by Belarus and Iran in response to the Western sanctions.

He also noted that the implementation of the previous agreements would promote economic cooperation between the two nations.
