Germany’s Defense
Minister has warned Tel Aviv against any military adventurism in
Iran amid the escalating anti-Iran war rhetoric by the
US and the Israeli regime
Thomas de Maiziere insisted in a Saturday interview with Frankfurter Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung that the
success of such an effort against the Islamic Republic would be highly unlikely.
The German defense minister also cautioned the Israeli regime
against “obvious political damages”
should it venture on an attack against Iran.
Israeli officials have ramped up their war rhetoric over the
past few weeks, threatening Iran with military strikes in case the US-led Western
sanctions against the country fail to force Tehran into abandoning its civilian
nuclear program.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on February 9
that
“Israel has a large selection of ways, when the world of international sanctions fails to persuade Iran to halt its nuclear program.”
Earlier this month, the Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said
if Western sanctions against Iran fail to stop its nuclear program, military
action against the country must be placed on its agenda.
Meanwhile, US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta claimed on February 2 that
there is a strong possibility the Tel Aviv regime will launch an attack on Iran
in April, May, or June 2012.
Washington and Tel
Aviv have repeatedly threatened Tehran with various ‘military options’ in an
attempt to force the Islamic Republic to halt its peaceful nuclear program,
which has been closely monitored by inspectors from the International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Iran has fiercely rejected Western publicity that its nuclear
program may be diverted to military objectives while insisting that as a
signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty and a member of the IAEA, it is entitled to pursue nuclear technology for its
numerous civilian uses and benefits.
Germany has finally acted like an independent state. If they have any Israelis guarding nuclear power plants, airports, train stations, or anything else, they better be on guard.
