EU Untrustworthy? 1,032 Arrested in Unrest

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces Major General Hassan Firouzabadi said on Wednesday western supporters of the unrest have no right to talk about fresh negotiations with Iran unless they apologize to the Iranian nation.
“The European Union (EU) is a defeated political and economic alliance and in the recent elections for the European Parliament the people of Europe showed that they do not trust the EU. It must be said that the European members of Group 5+1 have now lost credibility,“ the general said in a meeting with senior officers, IRNA reported.
He referred to the “outrageous interference“ of the 27-nation group in the elections and said “now it is obvious for our people that EU is hostile to Iran and not eligible to hold any form of negotiations with the Islamic state.“
The five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany have been calling for almost two years for new talks with Iran over its nuclear program deadlock. Iran has so far refused to respond officially.
