In March, Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt met Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian. This meeting caused a great stir. In the Debate on Thursday, the reactions do not wait either. – The dialogue has not led to anything. People are raped and killed. Anniken Huitfeldt must stop fooling around with the mullahs, says Iranian-Norwegian Michelle Majedi to news. In the Storting, Anniken Huitfeldt said that it was her “damned duty” to talk to the regime. Now she is being taken to the defense of Christiane Amanpour, one of the world’s most renowned journalists.

Recently, she interviewed the foreign minister of Iran and asked him several critical questions. Guest Debate She is positive about dialogue with extreme regimes. – I believe in dialogue and I think your foreign minister has done the right thing. I think you can chew gum and walk at the same time if you are an adult, says Amanpour in an interview with Debatten presenter Fredrik Solvang. CNN legend Christiane Amanpour agrees with Anniken Huitfeldt that dialogue with Iran is right. Recently, Amanpour interviewed an American citizen who has been imprisoned in Iran since 2015. Siamak Namazi is imprisoned in Evin in Tehran under section 508, which is about being an American citizen.

For example, in matters of security, and for foreign nationals who are imprisoned in other countries, she concludes.
