That means effectively finished.
Iran’s regime is finished, says Merz – “I assume that we are now witnessing the final days and weeks of this regime,” German chancellor says as Iranian protests sweep the country.
“If a regime can only stay in power through violence, then it is effectively finished. I assume that we are now witnessing the final days and weeks of this regime.”
That means ceasefire.
Trump says Israel and Iran have negotiated ‘complete’ ceasefire – After the president announced the ceasefire would start in coming hours, Iran and Israel exchanged several waves of strikes…
Iranian state TV said that a ceasefire was coming into effect, which it described as a being “imposed on the enemy.”
Something tells me it will be a negative too.
Majority of Germans now hold negative view of Israel : Survey – Israel’s military actions in Gaza and regional aggression have dramatically shifted public opinion: 57% now hold a negative view of the country, while 37% consider Israel a major threat to world peace.
That means to forbid, prohibit, ban, outlaw (see verboten).
As in shutting down Iran’s major islamist extremist beachhead in Germany, the “Blue Mosque” in Hamburg.
And it only took thirty (30) years for Germany to do this.
Germany shuts down Islamic Center Hamburg – The Islamic Center Hamburg (IZH) was under investigation for several months over its alleged support for Lebanon’s Hezbollah group which is backed by Iran. Hezbollah is classified as a terrorist group by Germany.
Other countries should follow their example. All you need is a Green foreign minister lady and a phone.
Why didn’t anybody ever think of doing this before?
German FM Urges Iranian Restraint In Call With FM – German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock called for de-escalation in the region amid an Iran-led proxy war, in a call with his Iranian counterpart.
“No one can have an interest in a wider regional escalation. We urge all actors in the region to act responsibly and exercise maximum restraint,” German Foreign Ministry wrote on X following the phone call with Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on Thursday.
As well as their open hostility toward Israel.
But boy oh boy their gas sure doesn’t stink.
Germany in secret talks to buy Iranian oil amid Russian war sanctions – The chief economist for the partially state-owned bank LBBW in the southwestern German state of Baden-Württemberg announced that Germany is engaged in secret talks with the Islamic Republic of Iran to buy Iranian oil.
“Intensive talks are already being held behind the scenes with Venezuela, Iran or Algeria to cover Germany’s oil and gasoline needs.”
Couldn’t ask for a nicer one to sink.
Germany Urges Citizens To Leave Iran, Starts Evacuating Embassy – Amid daily antigovernment protests across Iran, Germany’s government on Thursday urged its citizens to leave the country or risk arbitrary arrest and long prison terms there.
Warning that dual nationals who have Iranian as well as German citizenship were particularly at risk, Germany’s Federal Foreign Office said in a statement that “For German nationals there is a concrete risk of being arbitrarily arrested, interrogated and sentenced to long prison terms.”
Ausgeschlossen (no way)! German authorities would never allow such a thing.
Hamburg Mosque Reportedly a Hotbed for Iranian Propaganda – The Hamburg Islamic Center is considered the most important outpost of the Iranian regime in Germany. But since it is also reportedly used to spread the mullahs’ propaganda across Europe, calls are growing for its work to be restricted.
Germany’s domestic intelligence agency, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, which is charged with keeping tabs on all forms of extremism, has been observing the IZH community for many years and describes it, besides the Iranian Embassy, as “Iran’s most important representation in Germany and a significant center of propaganda” in Europe.
Oops (wrong country – although that’s a very popular chant here too). I meant of course “death to the Islamic Republic!”
Thousands Rally in Berlin, Elsewhere in Support of Iranian Women – Thousands of Iranians were among an estimated 80,000 people who joined in a rally Saturday in Berlin, the largest of several protests in cities around the world showing solidarity with women-led protests in Iran.
Germany is certainly doing all it can to reach that goal.
No contradiction here. Although Germany’s Middle East policy is, officially, based on a commitment to protect Israel’s right to exist, the Germans continue to, unofficially, do everything they can to help Iran – a country with a mullah regime that denies Israel’s right to exist – develop nuclear weapons. What could be behind that? Other than future economic gain for German companies in Iran, I mean.
Iran nuclear talks restart as Germany urges flexibility – It’s still unclear whether the talks in Vienna will lead to the restoration of the 2015 nuclear deal. The negotiations come as Iran holds presidential elections next week.
