In spite of explicit warnings, German organizations are trying to
escalate the internal power struggles in Iran. The state-financed
Deutsche Welle radio station is one of the foreign broadcasters, whose
Farsi-language program is firing the protesters on, with hourly reports
on reactions from the west. Party-affiliated foundations, including the
German Free Democratic Party (FDP) -affiliated Friedrich Naumann
Foundation are offering their partnership to those opposing the central
structures of Iran's government.
After initial hesitations, the German Foreign Ministry has also begun
to openly intervene in the domestic affairs of a fellow UN member
nation, making "demands" on the government of a sovereign country. Over
the weekend, the chancellery also assumed the position of a challenging
partisan in the Iranian domestic power struggles. German press organs
are indulging in blood-lecherous anticipation of the "chaos in
Teheran." Every intervention in the current power struggles is "highly
detrimental," assessed Bahman Nirumand an expert on Iran. It makes the
protest demonstrators appear to be "guided by the West, their leaders
will be branded as collaborators."
Indeed, the current support for the Iranian opposition is essentially
motivated by foreign policy objectives. As long as the West had its
Shah regime in power in Teheran, the Iranian movement for democracy was
repressed, in a bloodbath, with western help.
