听听Der Pr盲sident. 鈥� Als n盲chster Punkt der Tagesordnung folgt die Aussprache 眉ber die Erkl盲rung des Vizepr盲sidenten der Kommission und Hohen Vertreters der Union f眉r Au脽en- und Sicherheitspolitik zu Irans beispiellosem Angriff auf Israel und der Notwendigkeit einer Deeskalation und einer Reaktion der EU ().

听听Josep Borrell Fontelles, Vice-President of the Commission/High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. 鈥� Mr听President, honourable Members, we are here to discuss the Iranians鈥� attack on Israel and the need for de-escalation, and our response to these events.

On 13听April, Iran鈥檚 attack against Israel was unprecedented. It never happened before. It is the first time that Iran directly attacked Israel from its territory, with hundreds of drones and missiles. All this without forgetting the Israeli attack that preceded it, and we also condemned that when it happened.

This aerial attack represents a major escalation of an already very tense situation in the region, where we have witnessed dangerous games of attacks and retaliations, retaliations and attacks. And I want to use the same words that United Nations Secretary-General Guterres used at the Security Council. He said, the region 鈥榠s at the edge of an abyss鈥�.

Estamos al borde de un abismo, dijo el Secretario General. No son palabras huecas.

Ciertamente, esta continua interacci贸n b茅lica conduce a la regi贸n y, con ella, a todos nosotros a una situaci贸n muy peligrosa. Ahora, 煤ltimamente, parece que nos hemos movido un poco desde el borde del abismo despu茅s de que se fueran produciendo explosiones en Isfah谩n, Ir谩n. Pero ninguno de los dos lados, ni Israel ni Ir谩n, utiliz贸 estas explosiones como un elemento nuevo de escalada. Pero este riesgo existe todav铆a y nuestra obligaci贸n es llamar a la contenci贸n para que la escalada no aumente el nivel de riesgo.

Es una situaci贸n muy vol谩til, tambi茅n en la frontera norte 鈥攅ntre Israel y Hezbol谩鈥�, donde hemos visto al L铆bano otra vez en una situaci贸n muy fr谩gil. Las Naciones Unidas advierten de que cualquier c谩lculo err贸neo por una de las dos partes puede provocar otro conflicto.

En todo caso, el nivel de intercambio de fuego en la frontera del L铆bano ha alcanzado niveles que no se ve铆an desde听2006. Los veintisiete听l铆deres de la Uni贸n Europea 鈥攜 nosotros tambi茅n en el 谩mbito de los ministros de Asuntos Exteriores鈥� hemos enviado un mensaje鈥�

We the European Union, together with the Member states, we have taken a strong stance asking all actors in the region to move away from this abyss, the abyss that the Secretary-General was mentioning. We discussed it at the foreign ministers level on Monday. We all clearly condemn the Iranian attack and confirm our commitment to the security of Israel.

There is a political consensus to suspend the existing sanctions against Iran. The foreign affairs ministers in June were meeting together with the defence ministers. It took a political agreement that will be implemented in the next days.

You know that to use the sanctions regime that we already have 鈥� because from time to time, people ask for something that we already have 鈥� we have a sanctions regime against Iran for providing drones to Russia. The sanctions regime can now be used to sanction the production and potential transfer of missiles from Iran to Russia 鈥� I am saying the potential transfer, but also the production itself 鈥� and also to target Iranian delivery of such weapons in the Middle East and the Red Sea region. You know what I鈥檓 talking about in the Red Sea region. We have a navy mission to try to protect the freedom of navigation.

Let me add that sanctions are an important tool, and we have used them to send a clear message to Iran about the dangerous proliferation activities, aiming at the destabilisation of the region. However, I think that we have to understand that sanctions alone are not a policy. Sanctions are tools of a policy, and sanctions alone cannot deter Iran. This should be evident after years and years of international sanctions. Iran is, together with North Korea, the most sanctioned country in the world.

Sanctions alone cannot solve the risk of escalation, and a place has to be given to diplomacy. Diplomatic action has to be equally important. I think this is a moment for diplomacy, to deploy maximum diplomatic efforts, to act to calm down the situation, and to ask everybody to play their part.

EU Member States were in touch with key actors because the EU keeps open channels with all sides. That鈥檚 what we talked about at the G7 meeting, the ministers of foreign affairs meeting in Capri some days ago. And as you know, I am regularly in touch with the Iranian Foreign Minister in order to stress to him how deplorable are these attacks and warning that we are closer to a full regional conflict.

In the past days, we also coordinated our efforts to reach out to Israel, to show restraint and to add up the Gulf countries to use their influence. We had a meeting with the ministers of the Gulf Cooperation Council in Luxembourg 鈥� I think it was on Monday night, and immediately afterwards I came to Strasbourg to share with you the debate. This was an important occasion for the ministers of foreign affairs of the 27 and the ministers of the Gulf Cooperation Council states to exchange about the situation in the Middle East.

The spiral of attacks on counterattacks might have slowed down 鈥� that鈥檚 very good news 鈥� but the situation remains unstable and dangerous.

Finally, while we pay all the necessary attention to the Iranian attack on Israel and the risk of escalation, let鈥檚 not forget what鈥檚 going on in Gaza. You listen to the news. You read the news. Gaza remains at the epicentre of the regional tensions. It鈥檚 the focus which is sending shockwaves around the region and around the world. Gaza remains at the epicentre of the regional tension, and it will be like this as long as the war continues, and more fundamentally that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not resolved.

So we have to be able to build peace and stability in the region, taking into account all the conflicts that are developing there, taking into account our absolute commitment to the defence and existence of Israel, but also taking into account the high human cost of the conflicts which are raging there.

The European voice has to be the voice of reason 鈥搕rying to decrease the many humanitarian sufferings and look for a stable peace that, from our point of view, can only be obtained through a political process that leads to a two-state solution. But this is another story.

听听Der Pr盲sident. 鈥� Meine Damen und Herren, dies ist eine wichtige Debatte. Dieser Wichtigkeit wurde durch Entscheidungen der Konferenz der Pr盲sidenten 眉ber den zeitlichen Rahmen Ausdruck verliehen. Ich m枚chte alle bitten, sich an die Redezeit zu halten, die Ihnen von der Fraktion zugeteilt worden ist.

听听Rasa Juknevi膷ien臈, on behalf of the PPE Group. 鈥� Mr President, dear colleagues, a few more general remarks. Why did Iran dare to attack Israel directly for the first time in history? I see two reasons: the first is deteriorating situation in Ukraine on the Eastern front and Russia鈥檚 factor, the second is the lack of political will and leadership on the Western front, Washington, DC, including. In the eyes of the terrorist alliance of dictators, the US looks weakened. That is the reason why they raise their heads and attack. This is why recent decisions in the US Congress are of existential significance.

The democratic world is entering a period of political vacuum because of presidential elections in the US, European 合法博彩网站 elections here in Europe. The political vacuum is a test for democracy in general and a temptation for terrorist states. However, it is not those who win this year鈥檚 elections who will be mentioned in the history books, but those who fail to defeat the terrorist Russia, Iran, North Korea and others, even though they had every chance.

I still believe that we, the European Union, together with our allies, we can 鈥� that our leaders can go down in history as the ones who managed to overcome bloody regimes.

听听Iratxe Garc铆a P茅rez, en nombre del Grupo S&D. 鈥� Se帽or presidente, la espiral de acci贸n- reacci贸n en la que viven Israel e Ir谩n supone un salto hacia un escenario de guerra regional que hay que frenar. La diplomacia debe imponerse ante una ret贸rica belicista que no aporta soluci贸n y que solo generar铆a m谩s miedo, m谩s muerte y m谩s destrucci贸n.

Ante estos escenarios la Uni贸n Europea debe permanecer unida. Estamos comprometidos con la seguridad de Israel ante un ataque de Ir谩n, y no hay mejor manera que demostrar nuestra firmeza ante el r茅gimen de los ayatol谩s que ampliar las sanciones contra su sistema de misiles y contra sus aliados en Oriente Pr贸ximo.

Se帽or铆as, nuestro compromiso con la defensa de Israel no puede ni debe ser incompatible con nuestra firmeza ante el Gobierno de Netanyahu por el horror que impone a Gaza desde hace medio a帽o. Desde el salvaje ataque terrorista de Ham谩s todo ha ido a peor en Gaza. M谩s de 33听000 muertes, un mill贸n y medio de personas hacinadas en Rafah, 17听000 menores que deambulan solos por las calles de Gaza huyendo de los bombardeos, m谩s de 200 trabajadores humanitarios y m谩s de 100 periodistas asesinados, m谩s de un mill贸n de personas en riesgo extremo de desnutrici贸n por el uso del hambre como arma de guerra.

Se帽or铆as, 驴qu茅 m谩s tiene que ocurrir en Gaza para que la Uni贸n Europea redoble la presi贸n para poner fin a un conflicto que pagan en sangre los palestinos? No es suficiente la apertura de alg煤n paso a Gaza. La entrada de alimentos en la franja debe ser inmediata para evitar la hambruna. Y no menos urgente es un alto el fuego que acabe con la masacre de la poblaci贸n palestina, que se permita la liberaci贸n de los rehenes en manos de Ham谩s y conduzca a la apertura de una negociaci贸n internacional para un futuro en paz.

En Gaza tambi茅n est谩 en juego el Derecho internacional. Est谩 en juego la manera en la que las sociedades viven libremente y con dignidad. Hagamos o铆r nuestra voz para que Netanyahu cumpla con la resoluci贸n del Consejo de Seguridad que le exige un alto el fuego y para que la comunidad internacional cumpla con el embargo de venta de armas a Israel que ha pedido el Consejo de Derechos Humanos de las Naciones Unidas.

Se帽or Borrell, usted es el alto representante de la Uni贸n para Asuntos Exteriores y Pol铆tica de Seguridad y vicepresidente de la Comisi贸n que hizo realidad el despertar geopol铆tico de la Uni贸n Europea. Es el l铆der que hizo posible que la Uni贸n Europea hable el lenguaje del poder. Ahora tenemos la oportunidad hist贸rica de hacer valer nuestro peso. La Uni贸n Europea y sus Estados miembros tienen en sus manos el poder de forzar a una soluci贸n. Tenemos a nuestro alcance lo m谩s noble a lo que cualquier pueblo puede aspirar: la paz. La paz que la humanidad tiene pendiente con los pueblos palestino e israel铆.

听听Bart Groothuis, namens de Renew-Fractie. 鈥� Voorzitter, commissaris, collega鈥檚, dat Rusland, China en Iran samen op weg zijn om een blok te vormen tegen het onze wordt ondertussen breed onderkend en het is d茅 kwestie van onze tijd. Vandaag is het de beurt aan Iran.

Ik wil de corapporteurs bedanken voor de eensgezindheid waarmee dit huis gisteravond in de onderhandelingen opriep tot het plaatsen van de Revolutionaire Garde op de EU鈥攖erreurlijst. Wanneer je op Europees grondgebied dertig jaar lang terreur zaait, dan heeft dat consequenties. Maar ook met betrekking tot de unanieme oproep om het Iraanse vrijheidslievende volk in Europa beter te beschermen 鈥捥齩ok digitaal听鈥� is er veel werk aan de winkel.

In wezen, mijnheer Borrell, rekent dit Parlement af met uw beleid. Veel van wat in deze resolutie staat, had allang gebeurd moeten zijn. Een wijs Chinees spreekwoord luidt: het beste moment om een boom te planten is dertig jaar geleden. Het een鈥攏a鈥攂este moment is vandaag. Zet dus vandaag nog de Islamitische Revolutionaire Garde op de EU鈥攖errorismelijst. Stop de export van hightechmiddelen die in wapens tegen Oekra茂ne en Isra毛l hun weg vinden. Straf mensenrechtenschenders. Maak een vuist voor het Iraanse volk, tegen autocraten.

听听Hannah Neumann, on behalf of the Verts/ALE Group. 鈥� Mr听President, Mr听Borrell, last week, the Iranian regime celebrated its first direct strike on Israel, and it continuously violates vital provisions of the nuclear agreement.

鈥楽it and wait鈥� is no option and more diplomacy alone will not be enough. We urgently need to work on a plan B: a regional security architecture which addresses the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and preparedness for new attacks by the Iranian regime.

Frankly said, what more does this regime have to do until you finally wake up to the harsh realities? The IRGC is a terror organisation and it should be designated as such. The drones and missiles attacking Israel and our ships in the Red Sea are manufactured in Iran, and we should have sanctioned all those involved in that months ago.

Last but not least, the regime is not legitimately representing the people of Iran, and you should stop pretending it would. All these demands are included in our joint resolutions and we expect you to finally implement them.

Dear colleagues, the Middle East today is just a dangerous miscalculation away from an all-out war. It is on everyone 鈥� everyone 鈥� to stop repression and work towards de-escalation. And there are so many in the region who want nothing more than peace and an end to the suffering: babies being born orphans after airstrikes; families living in horror whilst seeking refuge from bombs night after night; tormented hostages unable to hear the voices of their loved ones; and so much more.

There are strongmen on all sides 鈥� Hamas, Houthis, Hezbollah 鈥� in Israel as well as in Iran that benefit from the recent escalation. It is our collective responsibility, together with the US and regional actors, to move from this deadly balance of deterrence towards a peace-seeking balance of humanity, dear colleagues.

听听Charlie Weimers, on behalf of the ECR Group. 鈥� Mr President, Mr听Borrell, you鈥檙e a liar. For a year, you鈥檝e claimed that in order for the EU to list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terror organisation, a national authority in the EU must have found the IRGC has been involved in terrorist activity. That is nonsense!

Here I have the Council鈥檚 secret legal opinion. Nowhere in this document does it say that it has to be an authority in the EU. In fact, the term 鈥榗ompetent authority鈥� also includes authorities of third states.

High Representative, you had this document. You knew the truth. You shamelessly lied to protect the IRGC. We won鈥檛 miss you, Mr听Borrell, but I鈥檓 sure the mullahs will.

听听Der Pr盲sident. 鈥� Vielen Dank, Herr Kollege Weimers. Herr Kollege Weimers, die Verwendung des Ausdruckes 鈥濴眉gner鈥� ist unparlamentarisch, und ich rufe Sie deshalb zur Ordnung.

听听Marco Campomenosi, a nome del gruppo ID. 鈥� Signor Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, Alto rappresentante grazie per essere qua, siamo all'ultima sessione plenaria di questa legislatura e tante delle cose che ho ascoltato in Aula oggi, le abbiamo gi脿 ripetute tante volte.

脠 stato citato il fatto che quest'Aula ha chiesto di mettere i pasdaran nell'elenco delle organizzazioni terroristiche. La Commissione si 猫 rifiutata di agire in questo senso. Capisco alcune delle ragioni per貌, se siamo in questa situazione, non 猫 perch茅 oggi ci dobbiamo dividere tra chi sostiene Israele e chi sostiene la popolazione di Gaza. Io sostengo Israele, ma non 猫 questo l'oggetto del nostro dibattito, 猫 il comprendere come mai ci sia ancora in quell'area qualcuno che abbia tutto l'interesse a destabilizzare e ad allargare il conflitto.

Perch茅 il primo obiettivo del regime iraniano 猫 quello di distrarre quella parte di popolazione che ancora lo sostiene dalla repressione dei giovani, delle giovani donne e dei giovani uomini, che in questi anni con coraggio si sono opposti. C'猫 il tema dello scontro tra il mondo sunnita e il mondo sciita, che 猫 stato anche magari poco analizzato. Ci sono i bombardamenti nel Belucistan, ci sono i bombardamenti e le influenze sul governo iracheno, sul popolo curdo, sui curdi iracheni. I miei amici che vivono ad Erbil mi hanno raccontato di cose molto gravi accadute l矛.

脠 un conflitto perpetuo, ma 猫 anche un simbolo di debolezza, perch茅 il regime iraniano uccide molti musulmani. Dice di voler difendere gli interessi dei palestinesi, ma uccide tanti musulmani, ricordiamocelo.

听听Martin Schirdewan, im Namen der Fraktion The Left. 鈥� Herr Pr盲sident! Die Zuspitzung des Konflikts zwischen Israel und dem Iran hat die Weltgemeinschaft an den Rand eines neuen gro脽en Krieges gef眉hrt, und die Gefahr einer weiteren Eskalation ist noch l盲ngst nicht gebannt. Das Regime der Mullahs im Iran verfolgt eine Politik der Vernichtung Israels und muss in diesem antisemitischen Wahnsinn gestoppt werden. Nach innen werden alle fortschrittlichen Kr盲fte brutal unterdr眉ckt. Willk眉rliche Verhaftungen, die Hinrichtung Gefangener, Gewalt gegen die protestierenden Frauen sind Alltag.

Das Massaker der Hamas am 7.听Oktober markiert den Tag, an dem die meisten J眉dinnen und Juden seit dem Holocaust get枚tet wurden. Doch der folgende Gazakrieg und die menschenrechtswidrige Kriegsf眉hrung der rechten Regierung Netanjahu hat zu einer absoluten humanit盲ren Katastrophe gef眉hrt, ohne die Menschen in Israel und Pal盲stina einem Leben in Frieden und Sicherheit in irgendeiner Form n盲her zu bringen. Parallel zu einem sofortigen Waffenstillstand im Gazakrieg, humanit盲rer Hilfe f眉r die pal盲stinensische Zivilbev枚lkerung und der Freilassung der Geiseln der Hamas braucht es deshalb endlich eine Wiederbelebung des politischen Prozesses. Nur so k枚nnen wir langfristig die Gewalt und das Sterben in der Region beenden, den Menschen in Gaza und im Westjordanland eine Perspektive geben und antisemitischen Organisationen wie der Hamas das Wasser abgraben.

Ich fordere daher die Bundesregierung im Rahmen einer EU-Initiative zur Anerkennung eines pal盲stinensischen Staates auf. Neben einem sicheren und souver盲nen Israel muss es ein sicheres und souver盲nes Pal盲stina geben.

听听David McAllister (PPE). 鈥� Herr Pr盲sident, Herr Hoher Vertreter, meine sehr geehrten Damen und Herren! Vor zwei Wochen haben die Mullahs alle Tabus gebrochen. Israel ist akut bedroht. Im Nahen Osten hat eine neue Zeitrechnung begonnen. Der Iran ist endg眉ltig aus dem Schatten seiner Proxys getreten. Die einzige Demokratie in der Region ringt um ihre Existenz, und die Gefahr eines regionalen Krieges ist greifbar. Schlimmeres konnte nur deshalb verhindert werden, weil Israel eine exzellente Luftabwehr hat und weil Israel unterst眉tzt wurde von Partnern wie den USA, Gro脽britannien, Jordanien und unserem Mitgliedstaat Frankreich. Ich finde, all dies erfordert eine konsequente europ盲ische Reaktion. Die EU muss endlich zu einer Iranpolitik finden, die das Regime in Teheran als das behandelt, was es ist: ein Drahtzieher des Terrors im Nahen Osten. Wenn nicht jetzt, wann dann?

Herr Borrell, wir haben uns am Donnerstagvormittag im Ausschuss f眉r ausw盲rtige Angelegenheiten 眉ber die Lage unterrichten lassen, und ich m枚chte die Diskussion wie folgt zusammenfassen: Viele Kollegen, auch ich, haben begr眉脽t, dass es weitere Sanktionen gegen den Iran geben wird. Sie m眉ssen schnell umgesetzt werden. Aber zahlreiche Kollegen haben auch aus ganz unterschiedlichen Fraktionen ihr Bedauern zum Ausdruck gebracht, dass die islamischen Revolutionsgarden nach wie vor nicht auf der Terrorliste der Europ盲ischen Union stehen. Hier m眉ssen wir dringend handeln.

听听Tonino Picula (S&D). 鈥� Po拧tovani predsjedavaju膰i, nakon vi拧e od 200 dana od teroristi膷kog napada Hamasa na Izrael katastrofalnu humanitarnu situaciju u Gazi o膷ito 膰e trebati dodatno rje拧avati i hitnim smirivanjem novih sukoba koji izbijaju 拧irom regije.

Kroni膷no o膷ajno stanje na Bliskom istoku sve vi拧e optere膰uje umije拧anost iranskih proksija koji djeluju u dr啪avama poput Libanona i Jemena. Me膽utim, ono 拧to u ovom regionalnom okr拧aju zaista mo啪e dovesti do prijetnji globalnoj sigurnosti jest eskalacija napetosti izme膽u Irana i Izraela koje su kulminirale izraelskim napadom na iranski konzulat u Damasku, odgovorom Irana masovnim protunapadom bez presedana i, kona膷no, osvetni膷kom reakcijom Izraela pro拧log tjedna.

Izrael i Iran moraju zaustaviti spiralu daljnjeg sukobljavanja jer to mo啪e samo pogor拧ati ionako te拧ke sigurnosne prilike i kroni膷no lo拧e odnose u regiji. Upravo zato u ovakvom kontekstu ne mo啪emo i ne smijemo biti pasivni promatra膷i. O膷ekujemo od europskih lidera djelotvornije zalaganje kako bi se smirila situacija. Svakodnevne slike u啪asa koji dolaze iz regije dokazi su katastrofe na koju smo odavno trebali reagirati, jedinstveno i odlu膷no.

Zaklju膷no, po膷etni korak je deeskalacija. U tom procesu Europska unija mora imati klju膷nu ulogu i ne smije iznevjeriti o膷ekivanja. Uspjeh bi paralelno oja膷ao ideju o geopoliti膷ki utjecajnijoj Uniji, a to je projekt koji mora biti nastavljen i u sljede膰em mandatu Komisije i Parlamenta.

听听Nathalie Loiseau (Renew). 鈥� Monsieur le Pr茅sident, chers coll猫gues, il y a un paradoxe auquel je ne peux me r茅soudre et auquel je vous demande de ne plus laisser libre cours. 脌 entendre certains discours politiques, tous les pays du monde auraient droit 脿 la l茅gitime d茅fense 鈥撎齮ous sauf Isra毛l. Le 7听octobre, les terroristes du Hamas ont tu茅, mutil茅, viol茅 et pris en otages des civils parce qu鈥檌ls 茅taient juifs. On a pourtant entendu une d茅put茅e de la France insoumise parler d鈥檃ctes de r茅sistance. Le 13听avril, l鈥橧ran a bombard茅 Isra毛l 脿 coups de missiles et de drones. On a pourtant vu le Parti socialiste fran莽ais appeler 脿 un embargo sur les armes vis-脿-vis d鈥橧sra毛l. Depuis toujours, la Syrie de Bachar el-Assad est hostile 脿 Isra毛l. Pourtant, le Rassemblement national soutient aveugl茅ment le r茅gime de Damas.

Qu鈥檕nt en commun le Hamas, le Hezbollah, les Houthis, les milices chiites iraquiennes et la Syrie? Leur soumission 脿 l鈥橧ran, leur r么le syst茅matiquement d茅stabilisateur et leur haine d鈥橧sra毛l. T茅h茅ran et ses auxiliaires multiplient les provocations. Aujourd鈥檋ui, 茅viter l鈥檈scalade au Moyen-Orient, c鈥檈st passer un message de fermet茅 脿 T茅h茅ran. Les Gardiens de la r茅volution doivent 锚tre d茅sign茅s comme entit茅 terroriste et des sanctions s茅v猫res doivent 锚tre prises contre les fabricants de drones et de missiles qui s猫ment la peur en Isra毛l.

听听Assita Kanko (ECR). 鈥� Voorzitter, hoeveel in de EU geproduceerde componenten werden gebruikt voor de bouw van de raketten die verleden week op Isra毛l werden afgevuurd? Het heeft van november vorig jaar tot deze week geduurd voordat jullie tot actie zijn gekomen wat betreft het verbod op de levering aan Iran van componenten voor de bouw van ballistische raketten. Het bleef altijd bij intenties, maar die intenties beschermen niemand en maken de EU irrelevant.

De steun van Iran aan Hamas was blijkbaar niet alarmerend genoeg. Wat moest Iran nog doen opdat de EU op tijd in actie zou schieten en meer zou doen dan praten? Samenwerken met Noord鈥擪orea bleek ook niet dreigend genoeg. De bedreiging van de vrije doorvaart in de Rode Zee en de gijzeling van bemanningsleden bleken ook niet genoeg. Zware mensenrechtenschendingen met alleen al in听2023 achthonderd executies evenmin.

Voor mij is het allang duidelijk wat had moeten gebeuren. De overeengekomen bijkomende sancties zijn welgekomen, maar rijkelijk laat en onvoldoende. Kwalificeer de Iraanse Revolutionaire Garde als terreurorganisatie. Anders is het alsof je zelf drones aan Rusland had geleverd of die raketten zelf op Isra毛l had afgevuurd.

听听Anders Vistisen (ID). 鈥� Hr. formand! EU har i 氓rtier ageret som Irans nyttige idioter. I 氓rtier har man set til, mens Iran dag for dag er kommet t忙ttere p氓 at udvikle atomv氓ben. I 氓rtier har man ladet Iran diktere en islamistisk bev忙gelse uden at s忙tte foden ned. I dette hus tog det 氓r, f酶r man overhovedet ville anerkende, at Hamas er en terrororganisation. Selv i dag kan det debatteres i EU, om den iranske revolutionsgarde med al dens v氓benhj忙lp fra Syrien til Yemen, til Hizbollah i Libanon og Hamas i Pal忙stina, er en terrorbev忙gelse.

Forestil sig, at man her i EU har en s氓kaldt h酶j repr忙sentant for udenrigsanliggender. En mand, der tror sig selv som EU's udenrigsminister, der g氓r mere op i at kritisere det eneste demokratiske land i regionen, Israel, end han g氓r op i at begr忙nse indflydelsen fra det islamiske Iran. Og Iran sl氓r jo ikke kun til i Mellem酶sten. Vi har eksempler i Frankrig, i Danmark, i masser af europ忙iske lande p氓, at Iran har fors酶gt at ramme os med terror. Nogle gange er det endda lykkedes. Vi ved, at Iran virker her p氓 kontinentet gennem bev忙gelser som Det Muslimske Broderskab og Hizb ut-Tahrir ved at sprede islamismens sygdom i Europa. Og alligevel g酶r vi ingenting.

听听Cornelia Ernst (The Left). 鈥� Herr Pr盲sident! Der Nahe Osten, in dem 350听Millionen Menschen leben, ist ein Schmelztiegel der Konflikte unserer Zeit. Wer hier einen Krieg beginnt, provoziert den Fl盲chenbrand. Und daf眉r steht die Ermordung und Entf眉hrung israelischer Zivilisten durch die Hamas und der beispiellose iranische Drohnenangriff auf Israel genauso wie die Vertreibung und T枚tung so vieler Pal盲stinenser in Gaza durch Israel und die Beschie脽ung eines Konsulats. Die EU muss deshalb Druck auf alle, wirklich alle Parteien aus眉ben, mit der archaischen Vergeltungspolitik aufzuh枚ren.

Zweitens die demokratische iranische Opposition konsequent unterst眉tzen. Denn so richtig und wichtig gezielte Sanktionen sind, der Wandel im Iran braucht eine starke Zivilgesellschaft.

Und drittens: Israel muss dazu gedr盲ngt werden, den widerlichen Krieg in Gaza endlich zu beenden. Es braucht massive Hilfe, es braucht Wiederaufbau f眉r Gaza und die Zweistaatenl枚sung.

Der Nahe Osten braucht einen Neuanfang. Der erste Schritt muss hei脽en: Die Waffen nieder!

听听Sabrina Pignedoli (NI). 鈥� Signor Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, vogliamo parlare di de-escalation in quest'Aula? Allora dobbiamo farlo ammettendo che l'Unione europea ha avuto un ruolo preciso nell'escalation militare in Medio Oriente per quello che non ha fatto, per l'inerzia con cui 猫 rimasta a guardare decenni di diritto internazionale calpestato da parte di Israele che sta massacrando impunemente un intero popolo.

C'猫 un genocidio in atto e non siamo nemmeno capaci di interrompere un accordo di associazione. Questo ovviamente legittima qualsiasi altra nazione, compreso l'Iran, a violare il diritto internazionale, avviando una spirale di guerra. Quando accordi internazionali vengono trascurati o violati impunemente, ci troviamo di fronte a una grave delegittimazione delle istituzioni che sostengono la nostra convivenza pacifica globale.

L'Unione europea deve avere una posizione decisa. Dobbiamo insistere sul rispetto del diritto internazionale e valutare l'introduzione di sanzioni adeguate contro qualsiasi governo che violi norme, compreso Israele. Questo non 猫 solo un dovere giuridico, ma un imperativo morale che sottolinea il nostro impegno verso la giustizia e la pace mondiale. Grazie a Josep Borrell per il lavoro che sta facendo per la Palestina.

听听Antonio L贸pez-Ist煤riz White (PPE). 鈥� Mr President, gone are the days when some naive politicians in Europe and America thought that they could sit down with the ayatollahs, leave some sanctions, and think that the Iranian regime would no longer pose a threat to us.

Iran is a country that supplies the weapons that Putin鈥檚 regime is using daily against the Ukrainian population. It is a regime that sanctions Members of the European 合法博彩网站. It is a regime that orders assassinations on European soil against those who dare to denounce them, like our friend and former Vice-President of the 合法博彩网站, Alejo Vidal-Quadras.

It is a regime that kills, tortures and oppresses those who bravely decide to participate in peaceful protests. It is a supporter of terrorist organisations in Lebanon, the Palestinian territories, Iraq, Yemen. It is an unreliable, autocratic government that is clearly trying to make a fool of us by continuing to pursue the development of nuclear military technology.

It is time to illegalise the Revolutionary Guard. It is time we change our approach and stay against the threat, together, of the Iranian regime.

听听Guy Verhofstadt (Renew). 鈥� Mr President, colleagues, I think this is my fourth debate, Mr听Borrell, about Iran with you and every time the conclusion is the same: we don鈥檛 like your strategy. We want you to change your strategy. Your strategy of diplomacy and appeasement leads to nothing at all; it does nothing at all.

And you are saying, 鈥榥o, no, no, we did sanctions鈥�. What sanctions did we do? Only 3 or 5 people. How many? You can tell us. I think it was 3, 4 or 5 鈥� simply for exporting weapons to Russia.

So this 合法博彩网站 asks you to change the strategy, based on real sanctions against the leadership of Iran first. Secondly, recognise the Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organisation. I don鈥檛 understand why you don鈥檛 do it.

And finally, don鈥檛 continue with diplomacy towards the regime. It鈥檚 time to recognise the opposition and to have direct contacts with them. They are the real representatives of the Iranian people.

Recordemo-nos de que o Ocidente foi c煤mplice de um golpe de Estado no Ir茫o em 1953, com a deposi莽茫o de Mohamed Mossadegh, que levou 脿 imposi莽茫o de um regime brutal e tirano do X谩 que deu na Revolu莽茫o Isl芒mica em 1979. E, hoje em dia, temos esse resultado da diplomacia do Ocidente.

Portanto, al茅m das san莽玫es, temos de ter duas grandes a莽玫es: apoiar os movimentos democr谩ticos que querem estabelecer no Ir茫o regimes democr谩ticos e seculares e tamb茅m garantir que o conflito entre Israel e Palestina termina, garantindo um processo de paz que crie dois Estados que vivam pacificamente, lado a lado.

Gostaria de s贸 dizer que o nosso colega da extrema-direita chamou criminoso a um alto representante das institui莽玫es europeias, fez o seu TikTok e saiu para n茫o ouvir a resposta. 脡 t铆pico da extrema-direita fazer v铆deos para TikTok e depois sair e n茫o ouvir resposta de ningu茅m.

听听Hermann Tertsch (ECR). 鈥� Se帽or presidente, aqu铆 muchos se sorprenden de la posici贸n del se帽or Borrell respecto a Ir谩n, que, en un momento como el actual, realmente responde casi atacando a Israel, m谩s que hablando de lo que sucede con el ataque iran铆.

Yo les voy a decir que hace cinco a帽os Borrell escrib铆a un hilo en Twitter. Era el 11 de febrero de 2019 鈥攖odav铆a no hab铆amos tenido la mala idea de tenerlo aqu铆 como alto representante de la pol铆tica exterior鈥� y en 茅l hac铆a un canto a la Revoluci贸n Isl谩mica en su cuadrag茅simo aniversario, hablando de todos los progresos sociales que se hab铆an producido en la Rep煤blica Isl谩mica. No hay en los siete tuits ni una palabra de cr铆tica a un r茅gimen que ya hab铆a matado a decenas de miles de iran铆es, hab铆a asaltado a la regi贸n y es uno de los m谩ximos enemigos, no solo de Israel 鈥攓ue promete destruirlo鈥�, sino de toda la regi贸n. Esto puede explicar muchas cosas aqu铆.

听听Sylvia Limmer (ID). 鈥� Herr Pr盲sident! Nicht nur heute, bei meinem letzten Redebeitrag im Europ盲ischen Parlament, stehe ich hier als freier Abgeordneter und nicht als Vertreter der AfD-Delegation, insbesondere auch, weil der Anlass der feige und hinterh盲ltige Drohnen- und Raketenangriff des terroristischen iranischen Mullah-Regimes auf Israel ist. Aber nicht nur die AfD, sondern auch die EU: Europa muss begreifen, dass der Angriff Irans auf Israel und der Angriff Putins auf die Ukraine nur zwei Seiten ein und derselben Medaille sind. Dennoch ist die Bereitschaft, sich an die Seite Israels zu stellen, hier oft nur z枚gerlich ausgepr盲gt.

Daher ist f眉r mich das Bekenntnis der EU-Au脽enminister zur Sicherheit Israels nur als halbherzig zu bezeichnen, und es ist sehr entt盲uschend. Herr Borrell, das Epizentrum ist nicht Gaza, sondern der Terroranschlag am 7.听Oktober auf Israel. Und die iranischen Revolutionsgarden sind eine terroristische Organisation. Nat眉rlich sind die beschlossenen Versch盲rfungen der Sanktionen richtig. Aber will man wirklich im Nahen Osten stabilisierend wirken, m眉ssen die Staaten unterst眉tzt werden, die Israel Hilfe gew盲hren bei seiner Verteidigung.

Sich den westlichen Werten zu verschreiben, muss sich lohnen. Und am wichtigsten: Es braucht die feste Entschlossenheit, das iranische Nuklearprogramm zu stoppen. Atomwaffen in den H盲nden dieser Mullahs werden sich fr眉her oder sp盲ter nicht nur gegen Israel, sondern gegen uns alle richten.

听听Marc Botenga (The Left). 鈥� Monsieur le Pr茅sident, chers coll猫gues, vous demandez de nouvelles sanctions contre l鈥橧ran parce que l鈥橧ran a clairement viol茅 le droit international en r茅pliquant 脿 la destruction de son consulat par Isra毛l. Mais pourquoi alors n鈥檃ppelez-vous pas 脿 des sanctions contre Isra毛l quand celui-ci bombarde la Syrie et le Liban, des h么pitaux 脿 Gaza, un consulat iranien ou quand des missiles isra茅liens tombent m锚me en Iraq?

Vous appelez terroriste une partie de l鈥檃rm茅e iranienne, mais parlerez-vous aussi de terrorisme d鈥櫭﹖at de la part de l鈥檃rm茅e isra茅lienne? Vous avez envoy茅 des jets, des avions de chasse europ茅ens, pour prot茅ger les bases militaires isra茅liennes. Mais en six听mois, aucun enfant palestinien n鈥檃 m茅rit茅 votre protection. Aucun. Est-ce qu鈥檜ne base militaire isra茅lienne vaut plus que la vie de 15听000听enfants palestiniens?

Alors soit le droit international vaut pour tous de la m锚me fa莽on, soit nous sombrons dans un monde o霉 r猫gne la loi du plus fort et le chaos. Nous n鈥檃vons rien 脿 gagner l脿-dedans. Et votre 芦deux poids, deux mesures禄 est en train de torpiller 脿 une vitesse inou茂e le peu de cr茅dibilit茅 qui restait encore 脿 l鈥橴nion europ茅enne sur la sc猫ne internationale.

Et enfin, selon vous, quel r么le l鈥橧ran a-t-il jou茅 dans le massacre qui a eu lieu en Isra毛l le 7 octobre, et 脿 la place d鈥橧sra毛l, qu鈥檃uriez-vous fait et que diriez-vous aux juifs d鈥橢urope et du monde entier?

听听Ivan Vilibor Sin膷i膰 (NI). 鈥� Po拧tovani predsjedavaju膰i, (po膷etak govora izvan dometa mikrofona) 鈥� odgovor Europe na taj napad o膷ekivano je pristran i pokvaren. Komesar za vanjske poslove Borrell ovdje potpuno ignorira prethodni izraelski napad na iranski konzulat u centru Damaska gdje je poginulo desetak ljudi.

U zadnjih nekoliko godina bilo je tisu膰e raznih izraelskih zra膷nih napada na Siriju, suverenu zemlju. Otkad se to smiju bombardirati diplomatska predstavni拧tva? To, naravno, smije samo Izrael i Netanyahu, koji se progla拧ava nekakvim izabranim narodom iako velika ve膰ina dana拧njeg etnosa nema veze s biblijskim vremenima.

Vlada Netanyahua pona拧a se arogantno i eskalira rat kako bi izazvali zapadnu vojnu intervenciju i spasili svoj re啪im. U nedavnom izvje拧膰u u UN-u izneseno je kako se 700听000 Izraelaca ilegalno naselilo na tada拧nju palestinsku zemlju.

听听Michael Gahler (PPE). 鈥� Herr Pr盲sident, Kolleginnen und Kollegen! Das Mullahregime hat mit dem direkten Angriff auf Israel eine neue Eskalationsstufe im Nahen Osten eingeleitet. Das sollte Anlass sein, aber nicht die alleinige Begr眉ndung, endlich andere Saiten aufzuziehen gegen眉ber einem Regime, das repressiv ist, nach innen gegen眉ber der eigenen Bev枚lkerung, nach au脽en gegen眉ber Israel, aber auch eine Gef盲hrdung darstellt f眉r andere Nachbarn in der Region. Sp盲testens seitdem sich das Regime im russischen Angriffskrieg aktiv gegen die Ukraine engagiert听鈥� durch die Lieferung der Schahed鈥擠rohnen und anderer Waffen听鈥�, h盲tte klar sein m眉ssen, dass mit diesem Regime kein Dialog mehr m枚glich war, auch nicht eine vage Hoffnung, dass das Atomabkommen noch verwirklicht werden k枚nnte. Ich hatte diese Hoffnung auch noch f眉r eine Zeit.

Der Iran ist Teil der russisch-nordkoreanischen Terrorallianz gegen die Ukraine und nat眉rlich auch gegen Israel geworden. Daher m眉ssen die Pasdaran jetzt auf die EU鈥擳errorliste, Wirtschaftssanktionen m眉ssen jetzt umfassend in Absprache auch mit den USA koordiniert werden, und unterst眉tzen wir politisch und materiell die Demokratiebewegung im Iran. Women, Life, Freedom听鈥� das muss die Zukunft f眉r die Menschen im Iran sein, die wir auch aus vollem Herzen unterst眉tzen sollten.

听听Evin Incir (S&D). 鈥� Mr President, colleagues, I want to start by echoing the words of the Secretary-General of the UN, Mr听Guterres: the region is on the edge of an abyss. The red lines are being crossed every day: unprecedented killings of civilians, media and humanitarian workers; missile attacks on other countries; foreign embassy buildings being targeted; blocking of humanitarian aid and fuel for civilians.

People in the region have been suffering for a long time, and I know it very well with my own roots from the region. We do need to condemn Iran鈥檚 attacks on Israel with force, as well as condemn the attacks on a consulate building and Israel鈥檚 decision to carry out a counterattack.

We need a de-escalation. De-escalation means that everyone needs to take their responsibility. We must work for de-escalation. We must work for democracy in the region, in Iran, through supporting the opposition, through supporting civil society, through putting the IRGC on the terrorist list.

As well, we need to ensure an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestine, which is leading to escalation. It has done so for decades and is continuously doing it day by day. And we need to demand an immediate permanent ceasefire now and, of course, also an immediate release of the hostages. We need de-escalation, colleagues.

听听Fr茅d茅rique Ries (Renew). 鈥� Monsieur le Pr茅sident, il y a donc cette rh茅torique qui absout et qui percole, on l鈥檈ntend bien ici. La nuit du 13 avril, pour la premi猫re fois, T茅h茅ran attaque Isra毛l directement sur son sol, sans passer par les interm茅diaires, le Hezbollah, le Hamas, les Houthis. Six mois apr猫s le traumatisme fondamental du 7 octobre, cette nuit d鈥檋orreur serait une r茅ponse justifi茅e et r茅glerait quelque part le contentieux entre Isra毛l et la R茅publique islamique, ce r茅gime dont l鈥檈ssence m锚me est son obsession fondamentale de d茅truire l鈥櫭塼at h茅breu; ce r茅gime en guerre contre les femmes, qui opprime, qui pend les opposants, les journalistes, les manifestants, les homosexuels et les minorit茅s; ce r茅gime 脿 quelques mois, peut 锚tre, de l鈥檃rme nucl茅aire.

Non, l鈥檃ffaire n鈥檈st pas close et les exigences de notre Parlement sont claires: mettre les Gardiens de la r茅volution sur la liste europ茅enne des organisations terroristes, imposer maintenant de vraies sanctions contre tous les individus et les entit茅s concern茅es, exiger la lib茅ration essentielle de tous nos otages, et enfin avoir une vraie politique europ茅enne d鈥檃dmission commune des Iraniens, qui permettra peut-锚tre d鈥櫭﹙iter que quatorze officiels et bassidjis ne se prom猫nent impun茅ment sur le sol europ茅en, comme ce fut le cas l鈥檃n dernier 脿 Bruxelles.

听听Reinhard B眉tikofer (Verts/ALE). 鈥� Mr听President, High Representative听/听Vice-President, colleagues, Iran denies Israel鈥檚 legitimacy in existing; the inverse is not the case. Whoever just describes recent developments as another act in the perennial cycle of action and reaction and ignores that fundamental reality is not a voice of reason, but a voice of confusion.

Unprecedented, Iran鈥檚 action is not just because it hasn鈥檛 happened before, but because it represents a new world in which authoritarian and totalitarian regimes, sometimes using their terrorist helpers, try to coordinate to undermine the international order.

You said, Josep Borrell, that the EU needs to speak the language of power. Do it. Why don鈥檛 you put the IRGC on the terrorist list? You say sanctioning is not a policy. Not sanctioning is a policy. Act!

听听Bert-Jan Ruissen (ECR). 鈥� Voorzitter, beste collega鈥檚, Iran is d茅 grote destabilisator van het Midden鈥擮osten. Dat is al jaren zo. Met de recente grote aanval op Isra毛l is dat beeld nog eens bevestigd. Hun hoofddoel is ook duidelijk: Isra毛l van de kaart vegen, met gebruikmaking van terreurgroepen als Hamas en Hezbollah en dubieuze bondgenootschappen met landen als Rusland, Pakistan, China, Noord鈥擪orea, waarmee Iran dus niet alleen een bedreiging is voor Isra毛l, maar feitelijk voor de hele internationale gemeenschap.

De lange arm van de Iraanse Revolutionaire Garde reikt zelfs tot in Europa. Maar de Garde op de Europese terreurlijst plaatsen? Daar zou volgens de Raad en volgens de heer Borrell geen rechtsgrond voor zijn. Onzin natuurlijk, dit is pure politieke onwil.

De Revolutionaire Garde moet zo snel mogelijk op de terreurlijst en het sanctiepakket richting Iran moet worden uitgebreid. Het roer moet om, meneer Borrell. Isra毛l mag er niet alleen voor staan.

听听Marcel de Graaff (NI). 鈥� Voorzitter, Isra毛l bombardeert de Iraanse ambassade in Syri毛. Als reactie bombardeert Iran twee afgelegen militaire vliegvelden in Isra毛l en plotseling is heel de EU tegen Iran en schenden ze daar alle mensenrechten. Onzin. Iran moet blijkbaar gestraft worden voor zijn steun aan Rusland. Daarom zeg ik aan alle burgers in de EU: dit doen uw leiders in de EU: ze prijzen onze vrijheid, maar dwingen mensen tot vaccinatie; ze prijzen onze democratie, maar censureren en demoniseren de oppositie; ze prijzen onze welvaart, maar pakken ons geld af en vervangen dat door digitale spaarpunten; ze verkondigen vrede, maar onze zonen moeten straks in Oekra茂ne vechten en sterven voor multimiljardairs in Amerika, want na een half miljoen doden en invaliden zijn de soldaten daar op. Maar o ja, de EU discrimineert niet: ook de kinderen van immigranten mogen sterven in de hel van Oekra茂ne.

Dus tijdens de komende verkiezingen: stem tegen de EU.

听听Lukas Mandl (PPE). 鈥� Mr President, Commissioner, High Representative, colleagues, now it鈥檚 revealed to the world that the Iranian regime is threatening Israel, the only Jewish State on earth, directly, not only via its proxies, like in the past, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi in Yemen and other parts of the world. The Iranian regime is also threatening us via financing terrorism and Islamism on our continent, in our cities, in our rural areas.

I鈥檓 questioning why we have not earlier designated Revolutionary Guards as what they are, a terrorist organisation. I have requested that for many years. This very parliament has voted for it with a huge majority in January last year. But the High Representative and Foreign Affairs Commissioner didn鈥檛 act as nearly always. So, Mr Borrell, as I have thanked you for holding the role for some years during a different debate in this very last plenary week of this mandate, I really hope for the next Foreign Affairs Commission and High Representative not to follow your path, not to continue with these policies. We have to defend our security, that our Europeans, meaning also ally with our allies.

听听Ryszard Czarnecki (ECR). 鈥� Mr President, High Representative, since the October War, the world is gradually confirming the analysis that the Iranian resistance has been telling us for four decades: the Iranian regime is the head of the snake that creates war.

The Iranian regime is active part of two main wars that are threatening European peace and tranquillity. They are providing drones and missiles to kill Ukrainians, and they were the instigator of the war in Gaza, with so many casualties.

So it is high time to make Khamenei, the head of that snake, pay the price for making these wars. The European Union must immediately put IRGC on its terrorist list. We need to support the PMOI Resistance Units inside Iran and recognise the rights to fight against the regime.

听听Fran莽ois-Xavier Bellamy (PPE). 鈥� Monsieur le Pr茅sident, m锚me si se confirme la d茅sescalade que nous esp茅rons tous, il n鈥檈n reste pas moins que l鈥橧ran est une menace et le restera.

Mais face 脿 cette menace, en r茅alit茅, tout le monde en Europe n鈥檃 pas les yeux ouverts.

听听Vasco Becker-Weinberg (PPE). 鈥� Mr听President, honourable Members, Mr听Borrell, on 13听April, Iran seized a Portuguese-flagged vessel along with its crew and cargo. We have little information on the conditions of detention of the crew, the vessel and its cargo.

This is an illegal and unwanted act by the IRGC. Therefore, I would second what my colleagues have mentioned about the importance of stating that the IRGC is a terrorist organisation and sanctions should be applied forthwith.

As we mark 200 days of the attack of 7听October, and after witnessing the barrage of missiles and drones launched by Iran against Israel, we must not forget the price of inaction.

Mr听Borrell, Iran and Hamas do not care about the lawful right of self-determination of the Palestinian people, but only the destruction of the State of Israel and of the Jewish people. That is the context.

In the EU, if we want to be an honest broker in the region, we must be able to understand this. Only after stopping Iran will we be able to reach a two-state solution.

A last point on the issue of antisemitism in this House: we just witnessed an antisemitic speech. Measures must be taken and I will make sure that they will.

听听Javier Zarzalejos (PPE). 鈥� Se帽or presidente, se帽or alto representante de la Uni贸n para Asuntos Exteriores y Pol铆tica de Seguridad y vicepresidente de la Comisi贸n, celebramos este debate con la preocupaci贸n de una escalada en Oriente Medio.

Es verdad que Ir谩n 鈥攃on su ataque directo a Israel鈥� ha elevado la agresi贸n a un estado in茅dito y mucho m谩s peligroso. Pero es que la escalada ya se viene produciendo por la acci贸n de las fuerzas subsidiarias de Ir谩n 鈥攄esde Ham谩s a Hezbol谩 pasando por las milicias hut铆es鈥�.

Ir谩n es una amenaza global que est谩 presente activamente en todos los escenarios m谩s conflictivos, no solamente en Oriente Medio, sino tambi茅n en Ucrania. Y es verdad que las sanciones por s铆 mismas no son una pol铆tica, pero no es menos cierto que las apelaciones a la calma por s铆 mismas tampoco lo son.

Ir谩n es una teocracia apocal铆ptica asentada en la represi贸n sangrienta que act煤a a trav茅s de un brazo armado que tiene que ser considerado a todos los efectos una organizaci贸n terrorista. Es probable que Ir谩n posea ya la capacidad nuclear y quede pendiente la llamada militarizaci贸n. Pues bien, la Resoluci贸n que vamos a votar es muy expl铆cita sobre las consecuencias que deben seguir al incumplimiento por parte de Ir谩n de sus obligaciones.

Finalmente est谩 el pueblo iran铆. La lucha de las mujeres y de la oposici贸n que hay que apoyar, en vez de hacerse eco de las campa帽as de difamaci贸n que proceden de la teocracia iran铆. Todos ellos tienen derecho a que la Uni贸n Europea reconozca su lucha y apoye sus aspiraciones leg铆timas.

听听Mick Wallace (The Left). 鈥� Mr听President, this place struggles to utter the truth about who bombed who first. Israel bombed Iran first. But this place has an imperialist worldview.

How did you come to hate the people of the Middle East so much that you try to exclude them from the realm of international law? Over the past five years, EU countries have been complicit 鈥� through arms sales and direct military involvement 鈥� in the war against Yemen that killed 400听000 people, the genocide in Gaza that has killed or maimed over 100听000 Palestinians in just six months, and in the sanctions against Syria and Iran that kill tens of thousands through preventable deaths every year.

We have endless debates here about human rights, but these people you vote to crush are not afforded human rights. You pretend the EU is civilised. In your suits, you condemn people to die with your voting cards, blatantly lying to excuse your actions. The banality of evil. This place is a stain on humanity.

Mr听Borrell, we respect your effort to bring some sanity to the place.

听听Milan Zver (PPE). 鈥� Gospod predsednik! Iran predstavlja dvojno nevarnost: najprej notranjo, saj sistemati膷no pobijajo in kr拧ijo 膷lovekove pravice. Gospod Borrell, nikoli se niste jasno postavili za iransko opozicijo, ki jo vodi Marjam Rad啪avi, in njen program v desetih to膷kah. Druga nevarnost je zunanja: Iran ima kapacitete, da tudi voja拧ko 鈥� ima odli膷no voja拧ko industrijo 鈥�, da tudi ogro啪a dr啪ave 膷lanice Evropske unije. In tudi tukaj je odziv Evropske unije preve膷 bled.

Gospod Borrell, nikoli se niste postavili za nas, ki smo pristali na 膷rni listi iranskega re啪ima kot teroristi. Nekaj 膷lanov Evropskega parlamenta je pristalo na tej listi in danes sem imel ob膷utek, ko sem vas poslu拧al, da v bistvu ena膷ite tako Izrael kakor tudi Iran. Zato 拧e enkrat podpiram dve zahtevi, ki so ju izrazili moji kolegi, da morate zahtevati mo膷nej拧e sankcije in pa postaviti iransko revolucionarno gardo na listo teroristov.

听听Clare Daly (The Left). 鈥� Mr President, I have to say, of all of the insane discussions that we鈥檝e had in here, this one absolutely has to take the biscuit. Iran鈥檚 unprecedented attack on Israel, as if Iran woke up one day and decided to strike Israel out of the blue, as if Israel鈥檚 targeted attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria, which killed 16 people, a flagrant violation of the Vienna Convention, had never happened. Everybody outside this room knows the cause of the escalation is Israel. Everybody knows that Israel has been trying to broaden the conflict in the region to detract from their genocidal war on Gaza, and everybody knows that the EU, who for seven months of the most proportionately destructive war in history, have failed to condemn and sanction Israel, have immediately and unanimously condemned and sanctioned Iran for a disciplined retaliation which killed nobody. The world is changing, your settler colonial project has been exposed like never before, and the world can see that the EU emperor has no clothes.

听听Reinhard B眉tikofer (Verts/ALE). 鈥� Mr President, I consider the word 鈥榠nsane鈥�, to describe this debate, as unparliamentary. Maybe you would want to make a remark.

听听Der Pr盲sident. 鈥� Die Beurteilung dieser Frage werde ich der Pr盲sidentin 眉berlassen.

听听Josep Borrell Fontelles, Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. 鈥� Mr听President, honourable Members, as Europeans we all agree that our condemnation of the attack against Israel is clear. It cannot be more clear. We have also reaffirmed our commitment to Israel鈥檚 security. We all share the urgency to avoid further escalation and to work for restraint. And this call for restraint has to be addressed both to Israel and Iran.

That鈥檚 what we have done at all political levels. We will continue our diplomatic engagement with all key partners in the region. We will suspend the restrictive measures against Iran by expanding the existing 鈥� already existing, it seems that you don鈥檛 know 鈥� Iran-Russia related sanctions regime to the region.

(In response to heckling from the floor)

Yes, it already exists!

(After consulting with the President)

Sorry, but the President doesn鈥檛 want to give you the floor.

The world does not need another war in the region, and the people in Gaza neither. If the whole region is at war, the war in Gaza will not stop, and everybody agrees that this war has to stop and the suffering of the people in Gaza has to stop. That鈥檚 nothing new. This has been said in all the statements of the European Union.

About some concrete questions. The EU maintains comprehensive sanctions on Iran, including on more than 500 designated individuals 鈥� Mr听Verhofstadt, not four or five, but 500! You simply forgot to multiply by 100. That is a small mistake, a small mistake. Four or five no 鈥� 500! You forgot two zeros! You have to go back to school to learn a little bit about arithmetics 鈥� 500 designated...

(In response to commotion in the Chamber)

President, what鈥檚 happening here?

听听Der Pr盲sident. 鈥� Herr Kollege Verhofstadt, ein gelegentlicher Zwischenruf ist ganz in Ordnung, aber das sollte nicht in den nutzlosen Versuch 眉bergehen, in einen Dialog mit dem Redner einzutreten.

听听Josep Borrell Fontelles, Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. 鈥� As I was saying, it was not four or five. It was 500 鈥� 500 designated individuals and entities are on the comprehensive sanctions against Iran.

There is an arms embargo; there are missile technology and drone restrictions; there is a ban on equipment which might be used for internal repression for all material; there is another ban for monitoring telecommunications; there is, on top, sanctions targeting human rights violations. We will also expand the existing Iran-Russia Federation drone regimes in two directions, the possibility of including missiles in addition to drones, the expansion of the original dimension to be applied to the Iran-affiliated groups in the Middle East.

About the Revolutionary Guard: we have already listed individuals and entities of the IRGC under the Iran human rights sanctions regime, under the territorial integrity of Ukraine sanctions regime, under the Syria sanctions regime, under the Iran weapons of mass destruction sanctions regime. Moreover, the European Union has listed the IRGC in its entirety 鈥� all, in its entirety 鈥� under the Iran weapons of mass destruction sanctions regime, which already comprises an asset freeze and a prohibition to make funds and economic resources available.

In other words, listing this organisation as a terrorist organisation would have no practical effect. The addition of entities or individuals to the so-called 鈥楨U terrorist list鈥� 鈥� Common Position 931 sanctions regime 鈥� is subject to a decision by the Council by unanimity, and a national decision by the competent national authority, such as a court decision or a proscription order by an administrative authority, is a prerequisite for any additional listing. That national decision must have been taken for acts that fall under the definition of terrorist acts under the sanctions regime in question.

This is the situation.

(In response to commotion in the Chamber)

Maybe you should give the floor to these people.

听听President. 鈥� Colleagues, it鈥檚 quite normal to have interventions with short words. Commissioner Borrell, you have been a parliamentarian. You have been the President of the House, so you should be resilient enough to stand that.

But at the end of the day, if you continue and if you do it repeatedly, colleague Neumann and colleague Verhofstadt, then it鈥檚 a sort of impoliteness, and I for sure will call you to order if you continue with that.

听听Josep Borrell Fontelles, Vice-President of the Commission/High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. 鈥� Mr听President, I can only repeat what I have said: the addition of entities or individuals to the so-called EU terrorist list 鈥� Common Position听931 sanctions regime 鈥� is subject to a decision by the Council of the European Union by unanimity. But a national decision by a competent national authority, such as a court decision or a proscription order by any administrative authority, is a prerequisite for any additional listing.

That鈥檚 what the legal services tell me, tell the Council. The national decision must have been taken for acts that fall under the definition of terrorist acts under the sanctions regime in question.

That鈥檚 what I have the honour to inform the honourable Members.
