For a couple of months ago it became clear that Iran’s Islamic regime had slaughtered 30,000–40,000 unarmed civilian citizens in a historic bloodbath to prevent an anti-Islamic revolution in Iran. It is well documented that female prisoners are subjected to gross sexual abuse by the Revolutionary Guard, and the number of executions of opposition figures has exploded. While screams echo from Iranian torture chambers, the Norwegian government has chosen to send State Secretary Andreas Kravik to Iran for cosy talks with the executioners.
On Tuesday 12 May, Kravik held talks with Deputy Minister Kazem Gharibabadi, as well as a meeting with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. The visit follows the conversations Norway and Iran held in week 19 in Pakistan and Oman. According to the government, the conflict between the USA and Iran is the main topic of the talks, and the government is visiting Iran to maintain the image of Norway as a “peace nation” that plays an important mediating role.
The Labour Party wants to be an international grandee
This is unprincipled nonsense. This task could in fact have been undertaken by any other nation, but the globalists in the Labour Party want the limelight at any price. And in doing so, Ap is making the same mistake it has made many times before: rewarding terrorists and murderers with recognition, and legitimising them as political leaders, as Ap has done with the Taliban and Hamas, and now with the Islamists in Tehran.
How is it possible for a politician from democratic Norway to shake hands dripping with blood? How can one engage in cosy chatter with merciless killing machines without vomiting? What normal human being would agree to travel to a capital with streams of blood in the streets, controlled by barbaric mercenaries from Afghanistan and Syria? There is no excuse. Yet the Labour Party insists on it.
As recently as February, Swiss lawyers filed a case of universal jurisdiction against Kazem Gharibabadi. He is demanded to be arrested and accused of crimes against humanity during the Iranian government’s attack on the protest movement. Abbas Araghchi has been Foreign Minister for Iran’s mullah regime since 2024, and has a background in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He has thus been part of the inner political circle that approved the massacre.
A government without ethics meets serious criminals
Both these men Norway is meeting are thus deeply involved in crimes against humanity – and it would have been entirely unproblematic to stay well away. No one would have missed Norway. The visit has also provoked strong reactions both domestically and abroad, not least from Iranian opposition figures. But the Labour Party always takes Islam’s side against democratic forces. Always.
Iranian opposition figures, both in exile and inside Iran, however regard Islam as a 50-year-long Arab-cultural occupation. They criticise State Secretary Andreas Kravik’s visit to Tehran precisely because the talks help legitimise and sustain the murderous regime, which has zero legitimacy. Ap politicians once again have blood on their hands, but apparently consider it entirely acceptable.
Mainstream media write nothing about this lack of ethical standards in the government. Instead they focus on the regime having to remain in power, so that the oil can flow freely again, and not least: to give Trump a defeat. That is what matters most of all.
