Let’s talk about a recent post in the European Council on Foreign Relations (@ecfr) website regarding sanctions on #Iran.
And the complete lie the European Council has resorted to.

At a first glance, the article seems to care about #Iran’s people “reporting shortages in life-saving medicine.”
Of course, the article fails to provide any source to show how they put forward such an argument.

“The UN special rapporteur for human rights warned that the sanctions will undermine human rights in the country, drive people into poverty, and make imported goods unaffordable.”
This is a complete lie & I’ll explain why.

Citing “UN special rapporteur for human rights,” the link refers to a report by Idriss Jazairy, the UN “Human Rights Council as the first Special Rapporteur on the negative impact of the unilateral coercive measures on the enjoyment of human rights.”

This shows how the European Council on Foreign Relations resorts to a complete lie while hiding behind the Iranian people’s medical concerns.
Congratulations to @ecfr for parroting the same lies as #Iran’s regime & its list of apologists/lobbyists!
I’ll explain further.

I specifically debunked that report when I noticed @tparsi retweeting @AliVaez citing the text.

“International sanctions must have a lawful purpose, must be proportional, and must not harm the human rights of ordinary citizens, and none of these criteria is met in this case,” Jazairy stressed.

Of course, Jazairy, just like the @ecfr, fails to provide any links to facts showing U.S. sanctions are harming "the human rights of ordinary citizens..." in #Iran.

I have explained in previous threads, but will do so again.
#Iran's regime has destroyed the country's economy for 39 years & counting.
80% of the society lives in poerty, according to Deutsche Welle Farsi.

Moving on.
For those not familiar, #Iran's regime has lied for many years by claiming U.S. sanctions hamper Iranians' access to food & medicine.
Read it from the U.S. Treasury Department.

One day we may learn that Jazairy was paid by #Iran's regime to prepare such a report.
When @tparsi & @SinaToossi tweets or RTs something, beware & rest assured there's some #FakeNews in it.

The @ecfr express its actual objective here, by literally lobbying for #Iran:
“…Iran continues to implement restrictions on its nuclear programme under the 2015 deal. Europe, China, and Russia have also vowed to uphold the agreement.”’

“The European Commission recently announced it will provide an €18m economic package for the social benefit of ordinary Iranians.”
Is the @ecfr certain the money will benefit “ordinary Iranians?”
#Iran’s regime can’t be trusted.
Yet @FedericaMog continues to appease them.

I believe the European Union only has its own financial interests in mind & cares nothing about the Iranian people.
While the Trump administration has repeatedly supported the Iranian people, the EU has not.
