Germany ‘strongly condemns’ Iran’s ‘indiscriminate’ drone attack on Israel

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul says Berlin “strongly condemn[s]” Iran’s “indiscriminate” drone attack on Israel in response to the Israeli strikes on its nuclear and military facilities.

“We strongly condemn the indiscriminate Iranian attack on Israeli territory. Iran’s nuclear program violates the Non-Proliferation Treaty and poses a threat to the entire region – especially to Israel,” Wadephul says on X in a post from the German Foreign Ministry.

“The situation in the Middle East has escalated dramatically” and is “more than alarming,” says the top German diplomat, adding that “Israel has the right to defend its existence and the security of its citizens.”

“At the same time,” he continues, “we call on all parties to avoid further escalation. Germany remains committed to diplomacy – together with our partners in Europe and the United States.”
