The EP resolution condemns the Iranian government and accuses it of using violence against “protesters."
It contains no condemnation, however, of the violent attacks against Iranian law enforcement officers and private property perpetrated by the protesters themselves, and does not mention evidence of foreign intelligence agencies inciting violence during the protests.
Members of the Iranian parliament argue that the EP uses human rights as a pretext to interfere in Iran’s internal affairs “while issuing resolutions that effectively place it in the position of supporting terrorism and terrorist groups."
