In a post on his X account on July 25, Baqaei rejected Kallas' criticism of Iran's human rights record, arguing that the EU has lost all credibility by providing logistical and technical support for military aggression against Iran.
“Kaja Kallas speaks of the European Union’s ‘human rights concerns’ regarding Iran. How can a professed commitment to human rights be so easily reconciled with providing logistical and technical support for lethal aggressions against the Iranian people — aggressions that deliberately target civilians and critical national infrastructure? All while refusing to condemn even the most blatant war crimes, and offering not a single word of sympathy for Iranian children slaughtered by American-Israeli bombs and missiles enabled by the EU’s own ‘logistical and technical support’,” Baqaei wrote on his account.
“This is not merely a loss of credibility. It is the banality of evil — and the purest form of hypocrisy,” the Iranian spokesman added.
