The Defense Ministry on Wednesday confirms a report in German media that the Bundeswehr military was called in to refuel Mohammad Javad Zarif’s plane so that he could return home from the Munich Security Conference.
The ministry says “the Bundeswehr provided assistance at Munich airport on February 18.”
