The US-Israeli aggression against Iran is a “disastrous mistake” that breaches international law, Germany’s President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Tuesday in an unusually blunt rebuke of US President Donald Trump’s foreign policy, which he said marked a rupture for German ties with its biggest ally.
In a scathing verbal attack, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, whose largely ceremonial role allows him to speak more freely than politicians, took a far more critical line than Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who has skirted questions on the war’s legality, Reuters news agency reported.
Calling the war unnecessary and a “politically disastrous mistake”, Steinmeier said Trump’s second term marked a rupture in German foreign relations.
