German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said today that there is no reason to criticize the military actions of Israel and the United States against Iran. This was reported by Reuters during his speech to the German industrial lobby group BDI, BTA reports.
“There is no reason for us, nor for me personally, to criticize what Israel started a week ago, nor the actions taken by the United States last weekend“, Merz stressed.
According to him, although the situation carries risks, inaction was not an option either. "Yes, it is not without risk, but leaving it as it was was not an option either," the chancellor said.
Merz expressed concern about Tehran's nuclear ambitions, saying: "The evidence that Iran is continuing on the path to creating a nuclear weapon can no longer be seriously disputed."
