Germany Condemns Iran, Not Israel, After Israeli Attacks on Iran
Berlin (Quds News Network)- Germany has responded to the Israeli assault on Iran. Despite confirming that Israel struck Iranian sites overnight, Berlin condemned Iran’s expected response, not Israel’s action.
The German Foreign Office issued a statement today, calling the situation “dramatically escalated.” It said, “Israel has carried out targeted strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran is responding with hundreds of drone attacks on Israel. This development is more than alarming.”
Germany strongly condemned Iran’s expected retaliation, calling it ‘indiscriminate’. “We strongly condemn the indiscriminate Iranian attack on Israeli territory,” the statement said.
Berlin also expressed concern over Iran’s peaceful nuclear program, ignoring the fact that Israel aleady has nuclear bombs. “Iran’s nuclear program violates the Non-Proliferation Treaty and poses a threat to the entire region – especially to Israel.”
The German government reiterated its support for Israel’s actions. “Israel has the right to defend its existence and the security of its citizens,” the statement added.
At the same time, Germany urged restraint. “We call on all parties to avoid further escalation. Germany remains committed to diplomacy – together with our partners in Europe and the United States.”
This comes amid global fears of regional war following Israel’s assaults on Iran.
