According to Press TV, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on June 19 that Europe's perception of Iran does not reflect reality. The remarks came as relations between Tehran and European countries continue to be marked by disagreements.
Pezeshkian stressed that Europe's view of Iran does not match reality, and called for a more objective approach in bilateral relations. The statement followed a series of developments that have kept Iran-Europe relations tense.
Relations between Iran and European countries have been affected by a range of issues, including the nuclear program and sanctions. Related negotiations have yet to achieve a breakthrough, leaving the two sides holding differing positions.
Pezeshkian's remarks are seen as a call for Europe to view Iran on the basis of objective reality rather than preconceptions. There has been no official response from European countries to the statement so far.
