Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has warned European countries against sliding toward “historical #NAZI mindsets” by supporting the Israeli-US aggression against Iran.

In a post published Wednesday on X, Baghaei denounced Germany’s stance and warned European states against complicity in war crimes.

“The EU/E3 once played a pivotal role in int’l diplomacy, helping to forge the 2015 JCPOA—a landmark achievement of European foreign policy that was torpedoed by this U.S. administration,” Baghaei wrote, referring to the 2015 nuclear deal formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

The agreement, reached between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany, aimed to limit Tehran’s nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. The US unilaterally pulled out of the deal in 2018.

Turning to current developments, Baghaei said: “Today, under pressure from the #German Chancellor, some EU members risk being placed on the wrong side of history by appearing complicit in U.S./Israel acts of aggression & war crimes against the Iranian nation, one of the world’s oldest and the most enduring civilizational Nation-States.”

He concluded with a pointed warning: “The Union must oppose any move reminiscent of historical #NAZI mindsets and instead uphold its commitment to international law and justice.”
