An Analysis of Germany’s Wrong Approach to the 12-Day War
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior European affairs analyst stated that Germany’s support for the Israeli regime in the 12-day war against Iran stems from its historical commitment to this regime. Friedrich Merz, Germany’s Chancellor from the Christian Democratic Party, firmly backed the Israeli regime’s attacks on Iran in June 2025, calling them a “dirty job for everyone’s benefit” and part of the Israeli regime’s “self-defense.” This stance is rooted in Germany’s historical commitment to the security of the Israeli regime (Staatsräson), which has been reinforced since the Holocaust and Angela Merkel’s 2008 speech at the Knesset. At the G7 summit and a conference in Berlin, Merz cited Iran’s underground facilities, arguing that the attacks were necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Germany’s Foreign Minister, Johann Wadephul, also reiterated support for the Israeli regime’s “right to self-defense.” This position has faced domestic and international criticism. Germany’s unconditional support, aligned with Western geopolitical interests against Iran, signals a shift toward a more aggressive foreign policy. This stance has sparked criticism both at home and abroad.

An Analysis of Germany’s Wrong Approach to the 12-Day War
Strategic Council Online – Interview: A senior European affairs analyst stated that Germany’s support for the Israeli regime in the 12-day war against Iran stems from its historical commitment to this regime. Friedrich Merz, Germany’s Chancellor from the Christian Democratic Party, firmly backed the Israeli regime’s attacks on Iran in June 2025, calling them a “dirty job for everyone’s benefit” and part of the Israeli regime’s “self-defense.” This stance is rooted in Germany’s historical commitment to the security of the Israeli regime (Staatsräson), which has been reinforced since the Holocaust and Angela Merkel’s 2008 speech at the Knesset. At the G7 summit and a conference in Berlin, Merz cited Iran’s underground facilities, arguing that the attacks were necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Germany’s Foreign Minister, Johann Wadephul, also reiterated support for the Israeli regime’s “right to self-defense.” This position has faced domestic and international criticism. Germany’s unconditional support, aligned with Western geopolitical interests against Iran, signals a shift toward a more aggressive foreign policy. This stance has sparked criticism both at home and abroad.
