Ayatollah Movahedi Kermani's remarks came in reaction to a draft resolution adopted against Iran in the European Parliament's recent meeting in Brussels.
Addressing a large and fervent congregation of the people on Tehran University campus on Friday, Ayatollah Movahedi Kermani said, “The people of Iran will not allow the European Union to open a new spy den (EU's representative office) in the country."
Ayatollah Movahedi Kermani further said Iran’s enemies dream that they could paralyze the Iranian government by adopting anti-Iran resolutions.
He pointed to the European Parliament's anti-Iran Human Rights draft resolution, and said, "It is very shameful that they expect strange things from Iran and raise the accusation that the human rights are not observed in our country."
The cleric said these accusations are baseless and can no way affect Iran's policy.
In relevant remarks on Thursday, Chairman of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi lashed out at the European Parliament for its recent Human Rights draft resolution against the country, describing it as flagrant meddling in Iran’s internal affairs.
"The issues raised by the European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs are regarded as blatant intervention in Iran’s internal affairs," Boroujerdi told reporters.
He reiterated that the European Parliament is under delusions, and said, "The draft resolution is in line with the Israeli regime’s anti-Iran bids to put the brakes on the European Union’s interactions with the incumbent Iranian administration."
In relevant remarks, Iran’s Ambassador to the UN offices in Geneva Mohsen Naziri Asl also blasted the resolution as sign of a “dangerous and concerning” course of action.
On Wednesday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham dismissed the draft resolution as "unrealistic and counterproductive".
