Khamenei stellt Bedingungen

Nachdem die meisten europäischen Staaten signalisiert haben, dass ihnen die Rettung des Atomdeals ein Bruch mit Washington wert ist und es ganz so scheint, als hätten sie endlich ein außenpolitisches Thema gefunden, das sie einigt, wittert der Iran seine Chance und stellt gleich Bedingungen. Und alles spricht dafür, dass die EU gerne solche Bedingungen erfüllen will und wird.

“European banks should safeguard trade with the Islamic Republic. We do not want to start a fight with these three countries (France, Germany and Britain) but we don’t trust them either,” Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was quoted as saying by his website.

Khamenei also said European powers must promise they would not seek new negotiations on Iran’s ballistic missile program and regional Middle East activities, adding:

“Europe should fully guarantee Iran’s oil sales. In case Americans can damage our oil sales..., Europeans should make up for that and buy Iranian oil.”

Khamenei said that over the past two years the United States “has repeatedly violated” the nuclear deal but the Europeans had remained silent. He asked Europe to “make up for that silence” and to “stand up against the U.S. sanctions.”
