As European countries try to repair the nuclear deal with Iran after Washington withdraws for economic gains, a sudden diplomatic crisis between Copenhagen and Tehran erupted after Denmark discovered that the mullahs' regime planned to liquidate a number of individuals on Scandinavian territory.
Denmark recently announced the recall of its ambassador in Tehran following the discovery of an Iranian plot to liquidate individuals in Copenhagen. Denmark's Foreign Minister Andrés Samuelson vowed to transfer the matter to the European Union to discuss collectively.
Samuelson confirmed that other European countries are also concerned about Iranian behavior. Last summer, a plot to target an Iranian opposition forum in Paris was thwarted.
In light of these continuing violations of Iran in the heart of European countries, there are many questions about the future of relations between Tehran and the European Union, especially since the withdrawal of US President Donald Trump, of the nuclear agreement in May, confused the Western convergence with Tehran aimed at achieving the greatest economic gain possible .
Schemes in the heart of the continent
The US administration approved a first package of sanctions last August and further tough measures against Tehran are expected to take effect on Nov. 4 because of its destabilizing behavior in the Middle East and its non-compliance with the terms of the nuclear deal.
Washington has threatened any company dealing with Iran's oil or banking sector to be blacklisted in the United States, forcing many European companies to leave Iran such as the "Pogo" and "Total" and the French group "BSE" car industry.
The pullout seems to be a good thing, according to economists, as big companies will not sacrifice their interests with the world's largest economy to secure some deals with Iran, which has not retreated from its hostile and destructive approach.
Many European leaders have tried to persuade Trump not to withdraw from the nuclear deal, but the US president has not listened to German Chancellor Angela Merkel or French President Emmanuel Macaron.
Defenders of Iran are based on the view that it is better to integrate Tehran into the international community rather than renounce it and act like a "wounded tiger." But this approach failed to experiment. When the Europeans indulged Iran, they plotted one after the other in their own home.
Danish rigor
"Some European countries, such as Germany and France, are turning a blind eye to Iran's violations and serious abuses in order to preserve long-standing economic interests," says Ahwazi Democratic Solidarity leader Wijdan Abdul Rahman.
"The handling of Denmark will be different this time because this country, known as its version of the Global Security Index, will not allow Tehran to be manipulated by planning to target individuals on sovereign land," Abdul Rahman told Sky News Arabia.
He explains that the Copenhagen move will not be isolated from its European context and the strong alliance between Denmark and the United States, which confirms its determination to confront Iran and its subversive activities in the Middle East and other parts of the world.
"The sanctions weapon is capable of curbing Iran, which underwent many measures before 2012 but did not pay much attention. When the oil and financial stranglehold was tightened, the mullahs' regime was forced to negotiate and conclude the nuclear deal."
Since the Iranian economy is suffering from a few days of stagnation, after unemployment rose to a record level and the riyal lost more than two-thirds of its value, the sanctions can be very effective, especially as social anger has recently erupted in the Iranian street due to deteriorating living conditions.
Several Iranian cities have witnessed mass protests over the past year, raising the ceiling of criticism to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the top of the pyramid of the Iranian regime.
