Iran’s ambassador to Mexico, Abolfazl Pasandideh, called on the government of President Claudia Sheinbaum on Thursday, March 12, to condemn US President Donald Trump’s attacks against Tehran.
Pasandideh warned that a potential victory for Washington in the Iran conflict could open the door to aggression against other countries, including Mexico and Cuba.
In an interview with journalist Ciro Gómez Leyva, the diplomat stated that Iran is seeking international support in the face of the military actions that, he asserted, have been instigated by the United States and Israel.
Pasandideh indicated that one of the governments that, in his opinion, has adopted the “most appropriate” stance so far is that of Spain. “The best position in the world, so far, has been held by the Spanish government.”
The ambassador thanked Mexico for calling for peace and supporting Spain’s decision not to attack Iran. “In this case, it was completely different from what other countries like Germany and other European countries did, which are in favor of the United States,” he said.
The Iranian ambassador to Mexico warned about the possible geopolitical implications of a US victory in Tehran: “I have also said in my interviews that if the US gains something in Iran, it will not be difficult for them to then try to gain power in Cuba or even in Mexico.”
The diplomat also recalled the principles of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, noting that Mexico has historically defended the sovereignty of its states.
“We, as the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States also states, defend the sovereignty of territories and countries.” “That’s why we are asking Mexico to condemn this entire act,” he said.
Pasandideh also stated that the Iranian embassy has received numerous expressions of support from Mexican citizens.
“In just one day, we received more than 10 calls from Mexicans. We are also receiving many emails from the Mexican people condemning this entire act by the United States and Israel,” he affirmed.
The ambassador also denounced attacks against civilians and mentioned the case of a bombing of a school.
“There are even reports of the instantaneous killing of 165 children by a U.S. bomb recently dropped on a school,” he stated.
