Iran: Bakay accuses the German Foreign Minister of a moral issue for justifying an attack on Iran The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Ismail Bakay, said that the German Foreign Minister justifies the military aggression against Iran, does not care about human crimes and war crimes committed, and does not understand the economic damage caused to Iran and Europe. He cited Chancellor Merez's earlier comment that Israel was "doing our dirty work" and Merez's later complaints about the €100 billion cost to the European economy.
