"The air attack on Israeli territory launched by Iran is irresponsible and unjustifiable", says German Chancellor Olaf Scholza, adding that Tehran thus risks causing "a conflagration" in the region.
"We are in close contact with Israel and will discuss with our allies", writes Scholz in a post published on his X account.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock also "strongly condemned the attack, which has the potential to precipitate an entire region in chaos". Iran "must stop all this immediately", declared Baerbock, adding that "all the solidarity" of the German government "goes to Israel at this time".
