Iranian Lawmaker: Europe Should Take Lesson from Embarrassing Return to Iran

Iranian Lawmaker: Europe Should Take Lesson from Embarrassing Return to Iran.(Fars).TEHRAN (FNA)- The European countries are seriously in need of Iran and its assistance for solving their problems and that's why they have returned their ambassadors to Tehran, a senior Iranian legislator said, and cautioned the EU capitals to take a lesson from the embarrassing return of their envoys to Iran."The western ambassadors returned to Iran with embarrassment and they should take a lesson for their future," member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Fatemeh Alia told FNA on Sunday.
She stressed Iran's important and influential role on the scene of international relations and in the Middle-East, and said, "They (the European ambassadors) returned to Iran with much shame since they need our country."
In relevant remarks today, another member of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission reiterated that the return of the European ambassadors to Tehran after several months shows Iran's influential role and power in the world. "The return of the western envoys to Tehran indicates the clout and influence of the powerful Iran," Javad Jahangirzadeh told FNA, welcoming the European countries' decision to resume their relations with Iran at ambassadorial level.
"It seems that we should welcome the return of the western ambassadors to Tehran which was a deserving punch on the jaws of the US and the Zionist regime and we should describe it as a wise move," he added.
The Western states have recently returned their ambassadors to Tehran after they left the country following a move by thousands of angry university students who raided and occupied the British embassy in Tehran late in November in protest at London's hostile policies against Iran. The parliament approval came a week after the US and Britain targeted Iranian financial sectors with new punitive measures, including sanctions on Iran's Central Bank and petrochemical industry.
The sanction against CBI and Iran's petrochemical industry was adopted in a unilateral move by the US, Canada and Britain outside the UN Security Council as other council members, specially Russia and China, had earlier warned against any fresh punitive measure, including sanctions, against Iran.
The British government has also embarked on delisting the anti-Iran terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) from its list of terrorist groups.Read the full 'story' here.
