US Ambassador Grenell blasts Germany for celebrating Iranian Islamic Revolution anniversary

Germany’s foreign ministry has been slammed by the U.S. ambassador after it emerged diplomats in Berlin celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Iranian Islamic Revolution, a regime which seeks the destruction of the United States and Israel.

Niels Annen, a minister of state in Germany’s foreign ministry, and an official from the Iran desk at the ministry attended the pro-mullah regime event at the Iranian embassy in Berlin earlier this week, according to Bild newspaper.

“No one should confuse the desire to have dialogue with a celebration marking 40 years of brutality. This sends a troubling mixed message,” Richard Grenell, the U.S. Ambassador to Germany, told Fox News.

A spokeswoman for Germany’s foreign ministry defended Annen’s appearance at the celebration in a statement to Fox News, saying Germany wishes to keep “channels of dialogue” open.

After Annen’s participation in honoring the Iranian regime’s revolution, he traveled to Warsaw, Poland, to represent Germany at a U.S.-sponsored meeting on the Middle East called to stop Iranian jingoism in the region. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Thursday that the international community “can’t achieve peace and security” in the Middle East without first “confronting Iran.”

Also speaking from Warsaw, Vice President Mike Pence urged the European Union to withdraw from the controversial Iran nuclear agreement. Last year, the Trump administration pulled out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the formal name for the Iran nuclear deal, because the agreement failed to stop Iran’s drive to develop a nuclear weapon, according to the U.S.

Germany along with France and the United Kingdom is leading the E.U. effort to evade tough U.S. sanctions against Iran’s regime. Pence said the E.U.’s mechanism to circumvent U.S. sanctions was “an effort to break American sanctions against Iran’s murderous revolutionary regime.”

“It is an ill-advised step that will only strengthen Iran, weaken the EU and create still more distance between Europe and the United States,” Pence added.

While Germany’s government celebrated the Iranian regime’s revolution, the Islamic Republic’s President Hassan Rouhani addressed a rally at Tehran’s Azadi (Freedom) Square on Monday and said Iran will continue to expand its missile program. The rally, which was attended by tens of thousands, was blanketed with banners reading “Death to America,” “Death to Israel” and “40 years of challenge, 40 years of U.S. defeats.”

The celebration at Iran’s embassy with German diplomats coincides with reports of massive human rights violations by the clerical regime.

Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin told FoxNews.com: “If reports of Iran executing someone purely for being gay are true, these latest of Iran’s nefarious activities must be identified and addressed as gross human rights violations. By creating mechanisms to bypass the United States’ efforts to hold Iran accountable, the EU has made it clear that they intend to support Iran despite this kind of behavior. The EU is claiming they need this new system for food, medicine and certain essential goods. However, those products are already exempt from US sanctions, which begs to ask the question – what’s next?

IRAN CELEBRATES ISLAMIC REVOLUTION WITH THREATS TO U.S., VOWS TO BOOST BALLISTIC MISSILES

“This new financial system has the potential to create new loopholes for other countries to aid Iran, and we need to have serious discussions with the EU as our partners, including [on] the EU’s failure to recognize Hezbollah as a serious proxy of Iran.”

Uwe Becker, the mayor and treasurer of Germany’s financial capital of Frankfurt, told Fox News: “This is not just an unnecessary address of devotion to the Iranian leadership, but a slap in the face of all those Iranians who have suffered or fled under the mullah regime in the past 40 years. Even if one were to take the view that, despite Iran’s support for international terrorism, despite the threats to destroy Israel or despite the recent expansion of the Iranian missile program, it would be necessary to establish greater relations with Tehran, participation in the revolutionary jubilee is almost a self-denial of our own values while looking into the face of Iranian tyranny.”

Hitler viewed the unjust Muhammadism as ultimate Nazi religion that as he told his architect & minister of war Albert Speer matches the German temperament better. Hitler told his friend Ahmed Huber “The only religion I respect is Islam. The only prophet I admire is Muhammad.”
Many Nazi criminals openly converted to the unjust Muhammadism after the war & worked in the Egyptian Muhammadist tyranny under Nasser & in Syria.
Nazi-SS commander Otto Skorzeny for example who freed Mussolini from a prison in Gran Sasso moved to Cairo after the war & instructed the Intelligence Services of the Muhammadist tyranny under Nasser.

Death to America,” “Death to Israel”

Some here may remember Mao’s Red Guards, who screamed similar slogans about America. But it was basically a form of hatred that was a mile wide and an inch deep- unlike one, I think, that springs from a cherished religious tradition. As soon as Chairman Deng made it clear that it was acceptable to talk to, learn from, and do business with “the running dogs of the imperialists” the Chinese people ceased their mass expression of hatred for America.

I once asked an immigrant Iranian academic if he thought a similar dynamic might apply with respect to Iran- if the regime changed, would the people drop their expressions of hate toward America? He indicated that he thought they would. However, given the animosity based on “religion” that helps propel Iranians’ hatred of Israel, I would have have much less confidence that the same would apply with respect to Israel.

Agree. They are aided by Left/liberal scumbags in EU/America.

Trump was conned by Abbas initially but when he found out the truth boy was he mad as hell at the jihadi http://bit.ly/2rOmfyJ

That’s when he decided enough is enough and that inspite of huge opposition led to shifting of Embassy to Jerusalem and No more funding to the jihadis.

Whereas America is holier than thou? Funny as!
Hitler had 20,000 Muslim supporters. France alone had 200,000 Muslim volunteers in their military.
According to Trump, Iran is being naughty. Any proof? No.
American Intelligence said Saddam had WMD’s, he didn’t. American Intelligence is an oxymoron.
The rest of the world seems quite happy with Iran, they’ve worked hard to have sanctions removed. They’re helping remove ISIS.
Clearly American Intelligence has got it wrong again. This does explain why America’s average IQ is lower than its peers. Funny as! Amusingly my father-in-law was a rocket scientist for NASA in the 80/90’s – 50% of the important folk were foreign. No brains in America.
Let the rest of the world and the UN deal with the planet – america can’t sort itself out. Bigger debt than the combined debts of W Europe and China. Funny as! The capitalists aren’t very good at capitalism, though am sure it’s all illegals, blacks and Muslims fault.
What a country, what a joke!

Well, you didn’t present any facts yourself did you?

Even your WMD assertion is false, as it is well known that Hussein had chemical and biological weapons – and the chemical weapons were sent to Syria. (Look it up.)

Your rant about I.Q.s is just that – a rant, and incidentally, debt is just one part of a larger economic constellation. Frankly, only an idiot would denigrate the strength of the American economy, even with its federal debt.

Oh – in case you hadn’t noticed, most of the modern age, since 1900 – in technology, architecture, and the arts was invented or refined in America – as the Tech. industry itself has been in this century.

This country, America, is far from a joke – but you, on the other hand, are a joke – and a nasty one at that.

No WMD and not sent to Syria. Conspiracy theories are not fact. Not too mention idiotic. Sarin has a very shortbshelf life and is made from very basic components which Syria bought from a variety of countries – proven!

The IQ thing is an established fact, well documented.

IT yes but if America was ahead anywhere else then it would have lots more Nobel Prizes. America has one per million people, Britain has one for every half a million and Norway and Germany have one for every 300,000.

In the last century America has given the world two depressions, turned up late for two important ones and started a number of unjustified ones it can’t finish. “With great power,
Comes great responsiblity”, Churchill.

Thank you for pointing out the insanity in the US today. It is hard overall to support what you say although there are nuggets of truth in your words. So many folks hide behind their own noses. The US has two enemies who are truly undermining American values – Muslims and Leftists – Their intent is two inches forward and one inch back until they win. Everything else is obscuration to feed the mindless. The only truth is to follow the money before stating morality – especially Saudi and Soros money. Capitalism made America great and sadly made Saudis and Soros rich. Unbridled capitalism by the addition of the uber rich and by being controled by the Saudis and Soros-types will be its downfall which is what the Left and Muslims prey on by using it at either end for their purposes. Trump is not a member of the above three groups and that is what they fear. When an Iranian women is arrested for taking off her Head basket and American women in mass do not protest, it shows who is winning.

Pam Geller rarely makes mistakes, but she does here in this story, specifically in the photograph which accompanies it showing Hitler conversing with his guest Hajj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. Husseini was living in exile in Nazi Germany after fleeing the Middle East following the abortive revolt/coup in Iraq in which he had played a prominent role. Because he was one of the most-influential Sunni Arabs alive at the time, and someone who shared the views of the Nazi Party, Husseini was an honored guest of the party. Husseini was a rabid anti-Semite who was famous for his constant inquiries as to the progress of the “Final Solution.” The problem is that Geller is misrepresenting history by linking a Sunni historical figure to modern-day Iran, a nation which is predominantly Shi’ite. And nowhere are mentioned the numerous and quite enormous crimes of Sunni Islam against Jews and other non-Muslims.

There is little doubt Germany is quickly drifting into a pact with Russia and Iran, only its large trade with the US is holding it back. When achieved, it will be a daunting coalition and very likely to overwhelm Europe and whatever is left of the EU and NATO. Remember, Merkle was raised in East Germany, she may well have been groomed for her roll in German politics by the KGB. Her successor is simply a mirror image of Merkle, only a few years younger.

We can’t expect much from Germany. This is the country that murdered millions of people and slaughtered one million Jewish children.

When I visit Yad Vashem in Jerusalem the saddest part of the museum is when I walk through the children’s exhibit and the names of one million murdered Jewish children are read aloud.

What goes around comes around. Germany is being infested with Muslims who are destroying the fabric of its country. When the Muslim population of any country grows so does the violence and destruction.

Enjoy your Muslims Germany!

Shabbat Shalom and G-d Bless Israel!
