European Coalition for Israel (ECI)

I exposed how the IRGC has an extended arm in the EU, and because of that post, my English X account, @SebastianMEP, was suspended. Even if this account were also suspended, I would take the risk and post the same message again, because all Iranians need to hear it 👇 — I am shocked to my core that the terrorist organisation IRGC has an extended arm inside the European Parliament. They have politicians who are actively working against the brave Iranian people who are being executed on the streets. By reading the amendments proposed for addition to the Iran resolution, it becomes clear who is standing on the enemy’s side. Let’s call them out: The Left. As the @ecrgroup chief negotiator on the Iran resolution, I witnessed firsthand the terrible proposals they put forward behind closed doors during the negotiations. When we rejected these proposals, they chose to withdraw from the negotiated outcome of the resolution. Yet despite excluding themselves from the resolution, they later attempted to undermine it by submitting their own amendments listed at the end of this post. The Left acts like a wolf in sheep’s clothing: they tried to infiltrate the resolution with language that may sound good to naïve citizens, but would in fact completely weaken the Iranian people’s ability to bring down the regime. They tried to strip away sanctions and prevent military action against the IRGC. Everyone needs to know this. Share this information with your Iranian friends. If they vote for leftist politicians, they are digging their own grave. That must not be allowed to happen. The Left is not only disgraceful, but dangerous. All of the leftist amendments (AMs) listed below were voted down this week by other political groups in the European Parliament. Read 👇 AM 6 (LEFT) Considers that broad-based economic and financial sanctions against Iran are counterproductive, as they disproportionately harm the civilian population, worsen access to essential goods and medicines, and can be instrumentalised by the authorities to entrench repression and silence dissent; calls instead for the reinforcement of EU targeted restrictive measures under the EU’s human rights sanctions framework – notably asset freezes and travel bans – against security force officials involved in the use of lethal force and the repression of demonstrations, judicial officials associated with arbitrary arrests and summary trials, decision-makers and executors of internet shutdowns and surveillance as well as all officials from public media and structures involved in broadcasting forced ‘confessions’; AM 8 (LEFT) Strongly condemns the repression by the Iranian authorities of the street protests of January 2026, which has resulted in numerous casualties and widespread arbitrary detentions; urges the Iranian Government to immediately cease all violence and engage in genuine dialogue to address the legitimate grievances of its people; calls for all the EU institutions to fully respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in accordance with the UN Charter and international law; strongly condemns any threat or use of military force against Iran, as well as any external attempt at destabilisation or interference in Iran’s internal affairs; AM 9 (LEFT) Calls for the EU institutions to exert diplomatic pressure on the United States and Israel to refrain from issuing or supporting military threats against Iran, and to give a commitment to de-escalation, dialogue and full respect for international law; AM 12 (LEFT) Opposes attempts, notably by US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to instrumentalise or hijack the legitimate demands and anger of the Iranian people; AM 13 (LEFT) Reiterates the principle of non-intervention and the prohibition of the threat or use of force under international law; calls on all external actors, in particular the United States and Israel, to refrain from actions or statements that constitute interference and to instead support accountability for human rights violations through multilateral UN-based mechanisms; AM 14 (LEFT) Firmly condemns any threat or use of force that is in violation of the basic principles of international law, and in particular the UN Charter; stresses that recent experiences prove that Western military interventions bring neither democracy nor human rights but chaos and mass casualties; AM 16 (LEFT) Reaffirms that the choice of its political leadership and institutional arrangements belongs solely to the Iranian people; underlines that it is not for the EU to endorse, promote or favour any particular opposition figure or candidate, nor to attempt to shape Iran’s political future from abroad; AM 17 (LEFT) Expresses deep concern at the impact of sanctions against Iran on the Iranian people and on Iranian society; stresses that such measures primarily affect the civilian population, exacerbating economic hardship, including medicine shortages, weakening civil society, and fostering an increased militarisation of Iranian society.
