EU's Iran policy criticised as inconsistent and risky
Original: Sanctions in February, handshakes in September: EU’s flip-flop Iran policy is putting lives at risk
EUobserver argues the EU's approach to Iran is contradictory: imposing sanctions in February while offering diplomatic handshakes by September. The outlet says this flip-flopping weakens the bloc's credibility and endangers lives, though no specific casualties are cited in the report itself. The piece reflects broader criticism of European governments pursuing engagement with Tehran despite its repression and its support for Russia's war in Ukraine.
Why now: The EU's shifting stance toward Iran is under scrutiny amid ongoing tensions over Tehran's crackdowns and support for Russia.
