The regime's council of ministers yesterday attempted to scare Germany of "the dangers and risks" of the warrant issued. The regime's ambassador, Mohammad Moussavian, himself a key official in charge of export of terrorism, in an interview with Frankfurter Allgemeine threatened Germany with the "grave political and economic consequences" in the relationship between the two countries. He also expressed doubts in the benefits of the critical dialogue and again threatened Europe with terrorism.
Such official positions are but open and unprecedented indications of the regime's terrorist nature. In a bid to evade justice, the mullahs take political and economic relations hostage and try in this manner to blackmail the German judiciary.
The reality is that the placating policies of some European countries have emboldened the regime so much that today they wield such terrorist threats against Europe. It has already taken great advantage of its extensive relations with Germany to expand its terrorist network abroad and particularly in Europe.
The Iranian Resistance once again stresses that the time has come to cut all diplomatic and trade relations with the religious, terrorist dictatorship ruling Iran. Today, critical dialogue is neither in the best interests of the Iranian people nor in the national interest of the European countries.
Having suffered for years under the mullahs' rule of terror, the Iranian people and Resistance are striving with all their might to establish democracy in Iran. No doubt, international decisiveness towards the mullah regime will expedite the realization of democracy which is in the interest of the Iranian people as well as in the interest of regional peace and global security.
