France Ought to Stop Being US Agent against Iran

Saturday’s abortive terrorist assault on the entrance of the Iranian embassy in Paris by a group of criminals, who have fled justice from the Islamic Republic, would not have occurred without the knowledge of, and in all probability a nod from the French regime.

Of course, the administration of President Emanuel Macron, which blatantly meddles in Lebanon’s internal affairs, brazenly supports terrorists in Syria, and plunders the rich natural resources of West Africa, will deny any involvement by saying that French policemen (belatedly) prevented further damage by dousing the burning tyres and keeping away the assailants from barging into the embassy premises.

Such claims do not exonerate France from hostility towards Iran in view of the undeniable fact of its sheltering of hundreds of Iranian terrorists and traitors, and using them to indulge in propaganda against the Islamic Republic – even fanning street riots.

The regime in Paris very well knows that steaming water doesn’t burn buildings and over the past 44 years of blind animosity towards Iran at the behest of the US it has utterly failed in stopping the spectacular progress of the Iranian people in all fields, in spite of violating commitments and sabotaging legally signed techno-industrial agreements.

Yet, like its predecessor regimes in the Elyse Palace which could barely hide their complicity in the terrorist bomb blasts that martyred some senior officials in Tehran during the 8-year imposed war of the 1980s when aggressor Saddam was supplied lethal French armaments for targeting cities and merchant shipping, it continues its policy of harming the interests of the Iranian people.

In addition, Paris pursues an active policy of Islamophobia to hurt sentiments of Muslims worldwide by supporting blasphemous caricaturists, and infringing upon the freedom of Hijab of the law-abiding morally upright women and girls in schools, colleges, and offices, when Christianity also frowns upon scantily clad and morally-loose women and licentious men for corrupting the society.

This is while, Iran has never tried to cause inconvenience to the French people. In contrast to Paris’s harbouring of the terroristic MKO hypocrites, Tehran has never granted asylum to any member of the outlawed militant groups of France such as “Action Directe” and “Armed Nuclei for Popular Autonomy”.

Iran has also never attempted to interfere with the mass protests being staged throughout France by the Yellow Vest Movement or the pensioners demonstrating for better payments and improved facilities.

If Macron or the one who succeeds him as president – a third term is ruled out by the French constitution – have any desire to rectify their misconstrued policies against the Islamic Republic and the Iranian people, they should extradite to Tehran the hypocrites and the terrorists, in view of the lawsuits being formally prepared against them for their crimes against humanity.

Then only Iranian diplomats and missions will be safe from the mischief of the miscreants and Tehran and Paris can resume sound and healthy diplomatic and other relations, with a commitment from France not to act as an American agent against the Islamic Republic and its regional and international interests.
