Mullahs resort to desperate ploy to break out of international isolation

News agencies reported that through taking advantage of a non-working trip by an Irish parliamentary delegation, the mullahs' regime pleaded with the government of Ireland to work to "bring Tehran and the European Union together."

The desperate appeal by Ali Akbar Nateq-Nouri, the Majlis speaker, comes at a time when the persistence of flagrant violations of human rights, especially the brutal suppression of women, at home and continued export of terrorism and fundamentalism and meddling in the affairs of neighboring countries have led to the regime's extreme isolation within the international community. They have also aroused widespread protest by the European public and parliamentarians to the policy of placating the mullahs under the guise of critical dialogue.

On June 26, during an international seminar in London on the clerical regime's terrorism in and out of Iran, more than 300 parliamentarians, political dignitaries and experts of terrorism from 23 different countries invariably underscored the futility of critical dialogue and called on the European Union to abandon this policy. They also urged the EU to adopt a decisive approach to the religious, terrorist dictatorship ruling Iran.
