The European Union's refusal to condemn the ongoing unprovoked US-Israeli aggression against Iran shows its total subservience to the strategic interests of the American empire, says a European politician.
In an interview with the Press TV website, Mick Wallace, a former member of the European Parliament, said that the striking silence of European leaders in the face of US-Israeli attacks on Iranian civilian areas is a result of Europe's total geopolitical dependence on Washington.
"The EU doesn't have an independent foreign policy; it is subservient to the interests of the US Empire," the firebrand European politician said.
The aggression, launched on February 28 amid indirect nuclear talks between Iran and the US, has mostly targeted Iran's civilians and civilian infrastructure, apart from the leadership.
Nearly 1,300 Iranians have been killed in the aggression so far, according to the health ministry, including 165 schoolchildren in the southern Iranian city of Minab.
Figures released Saturday by the Iranian Red Crescent Society detail the severe toll on non-combatants, reporting damage to over 80,000 civilian units, including 60,000 residential homes.
Despite this extensive death and destruction, Wallace said European institutions remain intentionally passive. He noted that the bloc's growing reliance on the US-led NATO military alliance, which he described as an "instrument to keep the Europeans where the US wants them," makes this dynamic starkly obvious.
