  1. That’s how inernational politics works. We all know this is polite bullshit.

  2. As a Belgian, I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to anyone we exposed to Charles Michel.

  3. Lol should have written RIP Bozo go meet Suleimani in hell

  4. Maybe they should add condolences for the women executed by Raisi’s regime in the same text. Just for balance.

  7. How is that a problem? President of a formidable military power in the middle-east died.

  9. Condolences to the hundreds of Ukrainian women and children killed by Iranian drones.

  10. Maybe I’m reading too much into this but it sounds like the deliberate mention of the flight crew on an equal level to Raisi might be a subtle diplomatic insult. At least I hope it is.

  11. There is no point to rubb it in their faces. I’m sure they have a similar guy lined up to take his place. Just as If Putin dies there’s Medvedev or a similar guy ready to replace him.

  14. I express my condolences to all victims of the evil Islamist government of Iran. May the retarded Islamists burn in hell.

  16. Maybe because it is important to stay… human after all?

    We don’t agree on politics, but from a humanistic perspective it’s a tragedy

  18. It may be hard to understand, but diplomats shouldn’t say “I hope you ate shit before you died”, a generic condolences message is just a routine

  19. Condolences to the guy that gave Russia drones and missiles to murder Ukrainian families.

    I understand it is politics, but fucking hell, we were just condemning Iran like five minutes ago for murdering their own women for protesting for rights, and providing weapons to Hamas and Russia. Is he tone deaf?

  20. Their families thank Charles for sincere condolences and send another batch of Shahed drones to russia to bomb Ukraine.

  21. Our condolences to the family of the pilot. And no one else.

  22. Condolences for a dictator and a criminal regim lol

    Iran president and foreign minister died, it means that there are fewer maggots to filth the earth.

  24. Don’t get me wrong, Iran is an evil regime qndnits leaders deserve no sympathy, but thinking our top diplomats and officials should rejoice in public is an absolutely braindead take: That’s not how foreign relations work.

    Behind closed doors though? I am sure Charles Michel isn’t saddened at all by the news.

  25. The death of tyrants should be praised, not for the government, but for the people. It’s a shame it will not end their regime…

  26. Well duh, this is basic diplomacy. No wonder politicians aren’t straight with people.

  27. “Thoughts go to the families” Really? And what about the families of opposition members that Raisi executed in the 90s? Families of women that were killed because they didn’t cover their hair? Families of all the the civilians that have been killed by Iranian drones in Ukraine or in the countless terrorist attacks funded and planned by his regime? Terrorist attacks, some of which were carried out or planned against EU CITIZENS.

    Michel is showing his true colors here.

  29. Internet-pilled brains see basic diplomacy and have a stroke

  30. embarrassing. for manners to actually have any meaning, the receiving party generally shouldn’t be known for hanging people from cranes.

  32. To the families of those he had executed as head of the death tribunal. I realise its for the pilot and crew but still disgusting. Ghastly extremist. What an appalling idiot the President is being.

  33. Par for the course for Michel, he also congratulated Aliyev in winning Az elections some months ago

  34. I am fairly certain the fact that he had to specifically write “sincere condolences” instead of just “condolences” gives it a degree of insincerity.

    If he did it on purpose, I cannot say.

  35. You people don’t understand how diplomacy works. It’s a customary, “Welcome to Costco” gesture that happens in this situation. What is a diplomat by trade, leader of a supra-statal entity that is not in any direct conflict with that country supposed to tweet? “I’m so glad you died, I’m gonna shit on your grave the first chance I get?”

  36. lol, Iran executes protestors, kills women for not covering their head, attacks Israel and other countries around it, and is attempting to develop a nuclear weapon.

    not saying we should be celebrating but the world just got a bit better with this man out of it.

  38. Meanwhile my iranian neighbours are literally partying rn
