Amidst Europe struggling with scorching heat and record-breaking heatwave, Iran has made a big offer to European countries. Iran has said that if European countries remove the sanctions imposed on it, then it is ready to help them by exporting air conditioners and cooling equipment. Iran has called it a ‘friendly suggestion’ for Europe.
Iranian Embassy proposed on
Iran’s embassy in Turkey posted on social media platform For the safety of your people, lift the sanctions imposed on Iran. We are ready to export various types of air conditioners and cooling equipment to Europe.
‘Developed own technology despite restrictions’
Iran claimed that despite facing international sanctions for years, it has developed the air conditioner industry through indigenous technology. The embassy said, ‘The good news is that despite the sanctions, Iran has successfully manufactured air conditioners with its own technology. We have both expertise and production capacity. If Europe wants to help itself, we are ready to help it.
Europe is struggling with severe heatwave
This proposal of Iran has come at a time when Europe is facing the worst heat in recent years. The heatwave that occurred at the end of June severely affected life in many countries including France, Netherlands and Belgium. Due to the extreme heat, there was huge pressure on power generation, infrastructure and health services.
More than 3,700 additional deaths in France, Netherlands and Belgium
According to the report of news agency Reuters, during the extreme heat in June, about 3,700 additional deaths were recorded in France, Netherlands and Belgium together. Officials have said that these are preliminary figures and the final number may be higher.
France most affected
The greatest impact of the heatwave was seen in France, where about 2,025 additional deaths were recorded. French Health Minister Stephanie Rist said that the highest increase in deaths was recorded in people above 45 years of age. According to experts, this heatwave that lasted from June 20 to June 28 was one of the most severe heat events in the history of Europe.
Growing climate challenge facing Europe
Experts believe that continuously increasing heat and extreme weather events are becoming a big challenge for Europe. This time’s heatwave not only took the lives of thousands of people, but also had a serious impact on energy supply, transportation system and health services. At such a time, Iran’s proposal to provide cooling equipment in exchange for lifting the sanctions has become a topic of discussion at the international level.
