Iran criticizes German support for US and Israeli attacks Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Bakay condemned the statements of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and the German Foreign Minister in defense of the US and Israeli military attack against Iranian territory. According to the IRNA agency, Bakay accused the head of German diplomacy of justifying war crimes and ignoring the victims of aggression. In the publication on the X network, the diplomat also recalled that Meraz had stated in the past that Israel did the "dirty work" for other countries. Bakay pointed out the contradiction between this position and the concern later expressed by the chancellor about the economic losses of the war, which he estimated at 100 billion euros for Europe.
