🇮🇷(FR/NL) La situation en Iran doit nous préoccuper au plus haut point. Raison pour laquelle j’ai fait convoquer ce jour l’ambassadeur d’Iran en Belgique pour condamner fermement toutes les violences commises par le régime, les détentions arbitraires, les intimidations, la coupure d’Internet, le tout visant à réprimer un mouvement pacifique, un mouvement appelant à la démocratie, l’aspiration légitime des Iraniennes et des Iraniens à une meilleure vie. Je continue à suivre l’évolution de la situation avec mes collègues européens. La Belgique est disposée à discuter de nouvelles sanctions européennes.

De situatie in Iran baart ons grote zorgen. Daarom heb ik vandaag de Iraanse ambassadeur in België ontboden om al het geweld van het regime, de willekeurige arrestaties, de intimidatie en de internetblokkade krachtig te veroordelen – allemaal gericht op het onderdrukken van een vreedzame beweging, een beweging die oproept tot democratie, de legitieme aspiratie van Iraanse mannen en vrouwen naar een beter leven. Ik blijf de ontwikkelingen volgen met mijn Europese collega's. België is bereid om verdere Europese sancties te bespreken.

ایرانیان شجاع پس از سالها سرکوب و دشواریهای اقتصادی همچنان در راه آزادی ایستادگی میکنند.
آنان شایسته حمایت کامل ما هستند. خاموش کردن صدای آنان با خشونت غیرقابلقبول است.

“Evacuate Tehran” is nothing more than a populist slogan meant to later claim: “We didn’t intend to kill Iranian civilians; they just refused to leave the war zone.”
But how are over 9 million people — without fuel, often without enough savings to relocate, and with no second home in another city — supposed to evacuate Tehran?
If your intention is to kill the people of Iran, at least have the honesty not to hide the burden of that responsibility.
Your war is not with the people of Iran. If you attack them, you are, in truth, killing hostages.
And you know very well that such a crime will plant seeds of hatred that could deprive generations — both ours and yours — of the peace and calm we all long for.
No child should become a victim of decisions made by politicians hiding behind the iron walls of their palaces.
This is like asking everyone in Los Angeles to get up and go when LAX is closed and not everyone has a car.
Millions of people, an entire city, cannot leave at the drop of a hat.
This is madness.

🇺🇦🤝����🇪 Ukraine, count on us !
We will always stand by your side. By the side of the country which has been fighting so hard for its freedom for 3 years. A country whose sovereignty and territorial integrity have been violated. Together, we must rise to this challenge. For a just, comprehensive and lasting peace. Belgium and the EU will remain on the right side of history. @ZelenskyyUa

The fight against impunity wherever crimes are committed is a priority for Belgium, which fully supports the work of the @IntlCrimCourt.
Those responsible for crimes committed in #Israel and #Gaza must be prosecuted at the highest level, regardless of who committed them.
📚✏️Payne Elementary 5th graders took their first steps in learning about Belgium through the #EmbassyAdoption program!
Thrilled to celebrate the program's 5️⃣0️⃣ years with @dcpublicschools & @WashPerformArts.
🚸Looking forward to a year of friendship & discovery with @PayneDCPS!
