Spanish politician Irene Montero has stirred political controversy in the European Parliament after sharply criticising the EU’s foreign policy stance on the US–Iran agreement. During a heated debate, she referred to US President Donald Trump as “Mr Genocide” and later posted a video referencing his birthday, where she sang a parody of “Happy Birthday” in a Marilyn Monroe-inspired style. Her remarks were aimed at questioning Europe’s response to conflicts in the Middle East and the US role in the Iran peace deal. The speech triggered strong reactions across political groups, highlighting divisions over EU diplomacy and global security strategy.
