MEP Stefan Berger has sharply criticized Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, labeling him a “Mörder” (murderer) rather than a spiritual leader, citing systematic violence against protesters and regional instability. In an exclusive written statement to Eurotoday, Berger outlined the EU Parliament’s push for tougher sanctions, including listing Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization. He also expressed solidarity with Iranian dissidents and European citizens advocating for freedom in Iran.
Stefan Berger, a German Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) group, is a prominent voice on foreign policy and human rights issues. Elected in 2019, he serves on key committees addressing international relations and security.
This stance echoes Berger’s recent X post,
Unverständlich, dass Ali #Chamenei „geistliches Oberhaupt“ genannt wird. An der Spitze eines mörderischen Regimes steht kein Geistlicher – sondern ein #Mörder.#Iran
— Stefan Berger (@DrStefanBerger) January 14, 2026
On Khamenei’s Actions as “Mörder”
In response to Eurotoday’s question on what specific actions by Ali Khamenei justify calling him a “Mörder” (murderer) rather than a spiritual leader, MEP Stefan Berger said:
“Under Ali Khamenei, a system is in operation that systematically employs violence against its own population: deadly repression of protesters and executions carried out through procedures that violate fundamental rule-of-law standards.
As the supreme decision-maker and the symbol of this power structure, he bears political and ultimately also moral responsibility for this. This regime exports terror and violence and contributes to instability in the region and around the world.”
EU Parliament’s Plans Against Iran’s Regime
Addressing how the EU Parliament plans to tackle Iran’s regime in upcoming sessions given its “murderous nature,” Berger told Eurotoday:
“A few days ago, the European Parliament denied Iranian diplomats access to our buildings. We will not tolerate a regime that sustains itself through repression, murder, and torture. Now it is important to increase pressure on the regime; this includes sanctions and placing the Revolutionary Guard on the EU terrorist list, which we already called for years ago, given the Revolutionary Guard’s central role in the violent suppression of protests and its involvement in the proliferation of weapons systems.”

Seems like someone finally put their foot down in the EU, calling a spade a spade—or should I say a murderer a murderer? 🥴 Guess we’ll be seeing more sanctions than a Brexit negotiation soon!

Looks like Khamenei’s got a new title—maybe it should come with a business card? “Mörder Extraordinaire” sounds fancy enough for a guy who’d rather silence dissent than pick up a spiritual book. 😂

Looks like Mr. Berger really found his voice this morning—calling a spade a spade while sipping on his coffee in Brussels. Next, he’ll be handing out gold stars for pointing out the obvious! 😂💼

Looks like MEP Berger’s just taken the “spiritual” out of “spiritual leader” quicker than a German taxi driver can find the fastest route in Berlin! 😏 Maybe Khamenei should consider a career change—like, say, not being a “Mörder”? 🍻

Looks like Mr. Berger’s finally found the courage to call a spade a spade—too bad it took him this long to notice the elephant in the room. 🙄 If only he could apply that same enthusiasm to more pressing matters, like the price of a pint in Brussels! 🍻

Seems like calling Khamenei a “Mörder” is the new trend, eh? Maybe next they’ll suggest he moonlights as a motivational speaker on how to win friends and influence people—just a thought! 😏

Seems like calling Khamenei a “Mörder” is the new trend in Brussels—who needs fashion week when you have political theatre? 🤷♂️ At this rate, I expect a diplomatic catwalk next! 🤔

Right, because calling Khamenei a “murderer” is surely going to change his bedtime routine in Tehran. 🙄 You know, maybe next time they’ll just send him a strongly worded postcard instead of actual sanctions.

Seems like MEP Berger found his inner Shakespeare, calling Khamenei a “murderer” while expertly dodging the EU’s usual diplomatic ballet. Who knew Brussels could serve up such spicy takes? 🍷💼

Oh, how quaint! A MEP calling Khamenei a “murderer” in a morning paper—next, they’ll be serving tea to the Revolutionary Guard at a proper London tea party! 😂 Talk about making headlines rather than real change, innit?

Seems like MEP Berger’s taken a page from the *how to win friends and influence people* book, but with a twist of *Das Kapital*—nice to see some fiery words over a morning croissant! 🍞🥐

Typical European politics, where calling a spade a spade is considered groundbreaking journalism! 😏 I suppose next, they’ll start naming the sky blue – oh wait, it already is!

Seems like calling Khamenei a “murderer” is the new trend in Brussels; next, they’ll be handing out trophies for “Best Actor in a Deceitful Role.” 🤷♂️ Just wait till he gets the memo, he might start offering autographs!
-
So, our dear MEP Berger finally finds his voice in the Brussels echo chamber, calling Khamenei a “Mörder” – I guess a bit late to the party, eh? 🎉 But hey, at least he’s keeping the diplomatic game interesting; I can almost hear the sound of a thousand Eurocrats nodding in agreement over their overpriced lattes! ☕️
