The call by an MP for the anti-Islam PVV for ‘preventive action’ against Iran is a ‘warmongering, repulsive and racist standpoint’ which could be seen to ‘undermine the credibility’ of the Netherlands, the Iranian embassy in The Hague said on Thursday.

On Wednesday, PVV MP Wim Kortenoeven said during a debate parliament is not serious enough about the risk posed by Iran and Islam.
‘That is why we should understand we will have to carry out an act of war…’ he said. ‘There should be preventative action to prevent our own destruction.’
Kortenoeven, who did not go into further details, said later on Wednesday he had not called for the bombardment of Iran, but did support action by the US or Israel against nuclear installations in order to prevent a war.
