It was between the years 1941 to 1943 that about 150,000 Poles took refuge in
Iran. During their three-year stay in Iran, the Iranians’ hospitality toward the
Poles won the praise of the international community, especially the Poles
themselves.
At the time, Poland’s officials had said that the Iranians’ kindness toward the
Polish refugees will not be forgotten from their memory.
Now, at the beginning of 2019, some Poles who spent their childhood in Iran
during World War II, are still alive. They are narrators of a nation that while
themselves were grappling with starvation, they did whatever they could for
their guests who had fled the war and punishment. However, today there is an
open and secret relationship between the Polish and U.S. governments aimed
against Iran.
The point is that Warsaw has not been an independent power player at the
international scene in recent decades. Persons such as Jaroslaw Kaczynski to
Donald Tusk and Mateusz Morawiecki have all been turned into submissive
politicians who have preferred playing at the U.S. court.
It is not without reason that many analysts view Poland as a country with
limited international influence.
Today, at a time when the Iranian nation is struggling with illegal sanctions by
the Trump administration, officials in Warsaw have agreed to host an anti-Iran
conference. Though this joint Washington-Warsaw measure against the Iranian
nation will reach nowhere, the great treason of this European country will not
be wiped from the Iranians’ minds.
The reasons that the Polish officials are doing against Iranians are not just
limited to this move.
In 2018, when Trump unilaterally withdrew the U.S. from the 2015 nuclear
agreement, Poland was the only country in Europe that tacitly supported the
move.
The Polish officials claimed that Trump’s concerns about the JCPOA (the official
name for the nuclear agreement) was understandable and called on fellow European
countries to consider these concerns. Moreover, Poland announced that it is
ready to bring the views of Europeans and the U.S. closer together over the
JCPOA after Washington’s pullout from the nuclear pact.
Now, Poland has the illusion that it has received the benefits of its
subservience to the U.S. and the selection of Warsaw as a venue for the
anti-Iran conference is a positive signal that has been sent to Poland by Mike
Pompeo and other U.S. officials.
Polish officials have closed their eyes to the realities of international
relations. They still do not know that at the end of this game Warsaw will lose
its international prestige and respect and the U.S. will finally abandon them.
