Khatib: Europe is hostage to American policies 

Tehran (ST): Iranian Minister of Intelligence Esmail Khatib confirmed that Europe has become a mere follower and hostage to the reckless and hostile US policies.  

Khatib, in a statement to the Iranian News Agency IRNA, strongly criticized the statements of leaders and politicians of some Western countries about the recent riots in Iran, and considered that they “have become mere tools in the hands of America and the Zionists”. He pointed out that French President Emmanuel Macron “is directed by the Central Intelligence Agency of America directly”. 

Khatib explained that “Ukraine has become a clear example of Europe’s subordination to America, as Europeans pay a heavy price for the American-British-Zionist game after they entered into a conflict that was not theirs, but its cost is paid from the pockets of their citizens who have become hostages of American policies”. he clarified that many European politicians have opposing views to American policies and directions, but they do not dare to declare them.
