The German Foreign Minister, Johan Wadefuul, reiterated earlier today his appeal for Iran to engage in direct negotiations with the U.S., stressing that “the world will not accept Iran possessing nuclear weapons.” Torsten Frei, a close aide to the chancellor, highlighted an increased threat level regarding American installations in Germany.
Upon arriving at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, Mr. Wadefuul clearly stated that Tehran must be ready to negotiate directly with the U.S. to find a diplomatic resolution to the conflict.
He mentioned that this was also the stance shared by himself and the foreign ministers of France and Germany during their meeting with their Iranian counterpart last Friday in Geneva; “unfortunately, the message did not get through,” he lamented.
The German Foreign Minister expressed confidence that “Europeans have a strong position” in this crisis and added that there is close coordination with Washington, which “has asked us to stay in contact and maintain dialogue” with Iran, which has stated its desire to negotiate only with Europe.
“This is a positive sign for us, but ultimately, the U.S. must become involved,” noted Mr. Wadefuul, emphasizing that Tehran needs to understand that “the world will not accept Iran possessing nuclear weapons.”
According to government spokesperson Stefan Cornelius, the German government was informed of the events shortly after the U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. In response to a related inquiry, he stated that the extent of the damage caused by the attacks remains unclear and that investigations are still ongoing.
From the Foreign Ministry, spokesperson Christian Wagner reiterated a call for all parties involved to avoid further escalation of the conflict and voiced the government’s “great concern” regarding developments in the Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, Chancellor Office Minister Torsten Frei remarked that “the vague threat to American installations in Germany has undoubtedly increased due to recent developments”, noting that after the initial Israeli strikes against Iran, security for Jewish and Israeli institutions in Germany had already been intensified.
