The EU could also modify Iranian behavior by treating Iran?s representatives with scorn rather than honor. Iran?s rulers, such as the MIT-trained physicist and current Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi, do not wish to be identified as international pariahs. In late October, the EU parliament attempted for the second time in as many years to send a delegation to Iran. This only contributed to Iranian elites? self-confidence. In June, Germany?s foreign affairs committee head, Ruprecht Polenz, courted Iranian parliamentarians at the Bundestag in Berlin. And just last month, Polenz hosted Iran?s deputy minister for economic affairs Mohammed Roza Farzin. ?(Like other EU leaders, Polenz prioritizes his country?s economic interests over slowing the rise of a nuclear-armed Iran or ending the rampant human rights abuses in the Islamic Republic. Germany?s annual trade volume with Iran hovers around 4 billion euros.)
