Iran's Mullahs: When Will the EU Wake Up?

Does the EU know that the Russian President Vladimir Putin has received huge support for Moscow's invasion of Ukraine from the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei? Iran has been supplying kamikaze drones to Russia. That is why the Ukrainian foreign ministry reportedly stripped Iran's ambassador in Kyiv of his accreditation and reduced the embassy's diplomatic staff there.
The Biden administration is also not putting any pressure on the EU to stop its business dealings with Iran's ruling clerics....
"Russia has used almost 4,500 missiles against us. And their stock of missiles is dwindling. Therefore, Russia went looking for affordable weapons in other countries to continue its terror. It found them in Iran." — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Jerusalem Post, November 4, 2022.
"Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last. All of them hope that the storm will pass before their turn comes to be devoured. But I fear -- I fear greatly -- the storm will not pass.... It will spread to the South; it will spread to the North." — Winston Churchill, January 20, 1940.
Even though the Iranian regime has been increasing its military support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine – a gift that poses a significant threat to the European Union – the EU's appeasement policy toward the ruling mullahs of Iran barrels on.
It is shocking that the EU continues to trade with the predatory regime of Iran, openly referred to as the "world's worst state sponsor of terrorism." The Tehran Times bragged in a recent report that Iran's exports to the EU have gone up "28% in 9 months on year".
"The Eurostat's data show that Iran exported commodities worth €799 million to the union in the nine-month period of this year, while the figure was €623 million in the same time span of the previous year....
"According to the Eurostat, the total value of trade between Iran and the European Union reached €3.947 billion in January-September 2022, while the figure was €3.025 billion in the same period of 2021.
