German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock says Israel has shown that it is strong and can defend itself by repelling an Iranian attack overnight together with allies.
“Iran is isolated with its aggressive behavior with which it wants to destabilize an entire region,” she says. “And Israel’s capacities have shown Israel is strong, Israel can protect itself.”
Baerbock calls on Iran to forgo further attacks including via proxies as a regional escalation would have incalculable consequences.
