Iran risking regional war, Germany warns
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz condemns Iranian airstrikes on Israel “in the strongest possible terms,” a spokesperson said, during a visit by Scholz to China.
“With this irresponsible and unjustifiable attack, Iran is risking a regional conflagration,” government spokesperson Steffen Hebestreit says after Scholz’s arrival in the Chinese city of Chongqing.
“Germany stands closely by Israel’s side,” Hebestreit adds. “We will now discuss further reactions closely with our G7 partners and allies.”
