Ayatollah Ali Khamenei<\/a>, leaving comments on his social media accounts and continuing to protest despite the great personal risk.<\/p>\nWith some Iranian officials telling international media that the death toll inflicted by Tehran has reached tens of thousands, Tynkkynen made clear that the situation was heading toward a breaking point. \u201cClearly, if the state is doing anything like this to its citizens, the leadership is not legitimate, and a change must be achieved,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has to be achieved, the change for the leadership, because this leadership is not legitimate,\u201d Tynkkynen asserted. \u201c[There is] intentional state violence against their own people.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 12 Day War<\/h3>\n Speaking on the 12-day war in June, which saw Israel and the US attack Iran\u2019s nuclear infrastructure and personnel, he said, \u201cI\u2019m really, really grateful that Israel and the US did their responsibility. [With] military interventions, they have weakened the position of this Islamic dictatorship.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, both members of the European Parliament and members of the United Nations Human Rights Council took the opportunity to discuss Iran\u2019s human rights violations last week as a platform to condemn those military actions.<\/p>\n
On social media, Tynkkynen claimed that the IRGC had infiltrated the European Parliament. As chief negotiator for ECR, he said he had been privy to some behind-the-scenes discussions, uncovering \u201cworrying\u201d recommendations from the Left.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we all know what the consequences of their suggestions [would be], I cannot call it naivety anymore… It must be what they are intentionally suggesting… what they\u2019re suggesting is totally the wishes that the IRGC and the regime leadership,\u201d he remarked, saying there were those in the European Parliament who wanted to see sanctions against the regime ease and condemnation of the military actions taken.<\/p>\n
Tynkkynen disclosed what he said were the Left\u2019s suggested amendments to the Thursday resolution and what they are \u201csuggesting against the Iranian people\u201d in a post.<\/p>\n
Explaining the seeming lack of concern for Iranians among Western leftists, Tynkkynen expressed that for many, condemnations and protests are used as \u201cvirtual signaling.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey want to be seen in the light of: \u2018they are good people,\u2019 and then if the hegemony in the Western media, for example, would be against Israel, so then they have to be part of that hegemony,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they were really committed to supporting human rights, they would talk about Sudan. They would talk about Iran. They would talk about the security of the Israeli people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
