German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Tuesday expressed strong support for Israel in its military campaign against Iran as he spoke with German media on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada.

“This is the dirty work Israel is doing for all of us,” Merz said in an interview with the ZDF broadcaster.

"We are also victims of this regime. This mullah regime has brought death and destruction to the world,” he said.

In a separate interview with Welt TV, Merz also suggested Israel’s attacks on Iran could lead to the demise of the Islamic republic’s leadership.

“I assume that the attacks of the last few days have already weakened the mullah regime considerably and that it is unlikely to return to its former strength, making the future of the country uncertain,” Merz said.

“To be honest, I can hardly imagine the mullah regime returning to its old functions,” he added.

“Large parts of the military leadership and the so-called Revolutionary Guards are no longer alive, so things will not be the same as they were.”


Asked whether he thought the United States might get involved in the military campaign against Iran, Merz said he believed there was “no decision yet from the American government”.

“It now depends very much on how far the mullah regime is prepared to return to the negotiating table,” he said. “If not, there could be further developments of this kind.”

Israel on Friday launched a surprise aerial campaign targeting sites across Iran, saying the attacks aimed to prevent its enemy from acquiring atomic weapons.

But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also suggested the campaign could have wider aims.

Netanyahu on Monday said Israel was “changing the face of the Middle East” with its campaign, which could lead to “radical changes” in the country.

Iran has been ruled by clerical leaders since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, and has long been accused by Western countries of human rights abuses and brutally repressing dissent.

The leaders of the G7 industrial democracies on Monday called for “de-escalation” in the Middle East starting with the Israel-Iran conflict, stressing that Israel “has a right to defend itself” and that civilians needed to be protected on both sides.

Obviously, all the so called nuclear non proliferation talks between the West and Iran were nothing but smokescreens to buy time in order to make sure that Iran has no nuclear stockpiles before the west attacked. It was the same charade they organised in Iraq. Iran has herself to blame anyways. Ayatollah had all the time in the world to get himself the ultimate bomb. Iran has already been ostracised, was encircled militarily by hostile forces, with serious economic sanctions. The only option to stave off any sort of attacks was to have some nukes. If Iran had nuclear bombs, Isreal would never have attacked..

Under Obama, the west promised Iran all sorts of billions to drop their nuke ambitions during different diplomatic engagements. They used the slimy Qataris to lure in the Iranians. The Iranians agreed. When you look at that agreement, you can't help but wonder why the West seemed desperate to grovel at the feet of the Iranians with billions. But the reason is very clear now; the west were not sure of how far the Iranians have gone and needed time to make sure there was not nukes before bombing Tehran to oblivion..

These events also prove that democracy in the West is highly dramatised.. It is "contracted".. If all these Western leaders will continue to pursue the same plan laid down more than a decade ago by their predecessors, irrespective of their much vaunted ideological differences along party and national lines, it means that there are more entrenched sophisticated powers that determine who rules different western capitals and when such rulers should leave office. I mean, it was Obama that started the delay tactics with Iran in the name of "negotiations". But it is Trump, an avowed anti Obama Republican that is carrying out the final bombings..

From the rush to leave Afghanistan, to the orchestrated Gaza invasion of Isreal (which the Mossad is laughably claiming to not be aware of the plannings), to Syria and Hezbollah, Iran was always the main target..

Real truth. Nobody wants a nuclear armed terror sponsoring regime...
