Ismail Baqaei, the spokesman for Iran's Foreign Ministry, described the positions of Germany and several other European countries regarding military attacks on Iran as "contradictory and irresponsible".

In a message on Channel X, in response to European countries that expressed concern about the possibility of an escalation of tensions in the region, Mr. Bekai referred to the statements of German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz in June 2025.

He wrote: "In June 2025, German Chancellor Friedrich Mertes said about Israel's military aggression against Iran: This is the dirty work that Israel is doing to all of us."

The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry added: "Now in October 2026, the foreign minister of Germany and several other European countries warn of another ground attack against Iran and emphasize the need to contain the tensions." In June 2025, during the Group of Seven summit in Canada, in an interview with the German TV channel ZDIF, Mr. Mertes supported the captives' attacks on Iran and said that the captives were doing "dirty work" for everyone.

At the end of his message, Mr. Bakay criticized the positions of European countries by quoting parts of the play "Miss Orleans" by Friedrich Schiller, a German author.
