And you know damn well that for the Iranians this is not about law and justice, but poltical propaganda scorings.

That you don't care about the sanctity of your border is one thing. Don't think everyone else thinks likewise, or that your position is a fundamental right. I can easily say, without condoning any of the stuff in your Para 2, that the Iranians are well within their rights on this one.

On the other hand, an iditoic pseudo-artist from germany

When did we suddenly start discussing Germany?

BTW, it does not matter whether or not states agree on suspects that are wanted for being extradicted actually being criminals. Eurppean states can agree that a suspect is a criminal and offender - but when he is being threatened with death penalty or torture, he nevertheless would not get extradicted: not to the Us and not to anyone else.

Leaving torture aside for a moment, this is actually a form of cultural arrogance.

Many states also have laws prohibiting the extradiction of own nationals, no matter their crimes. But these things are just formalities.

And this is a demand for extraterritoriality, a remnant of imperialist thought.
