In a post on his X account on Saturday, Araghchi wrote that it is sad to see the usually serious Munich Security Conference turned into the “Munich Circus” when it comes to Iran.
The Iranian foreign minister pointed out that this decline, with performance preferred over substance, holds important following messages:
– The EU appears confused, rooted in an inability to understand what is happening inside Iran;
– Strategically, an aimless EU has lost all geopolitical weight in our region;
– Germany, specifically, is leading the way in wholly surrendering its regional policy to Israel.
Araghchi pointed out that Europe’s overall trajectory is dire, to say the least.
What does this all mean, in practical terms? The paralysis and irrelevance of the EU/E3 is displayed in the dynamics surrounding the current talks over Iran’s nuclear program.
The Iranian foreign minister further said that once a key interlocutor, Europe is now nowhere to be seen. “Instead, our friends in the region are far more effective and helpful than an empty-handed and peripheral E3.”
