Germany in the Zwickmühle: Atomic conflict between Israel and Iran escalated!

In the middle of the tense situation in the Middle East, the conflict between Israel and Iran continues to focus on international politics. The explosive situation has also achieved German political events, where all eyes are focused on the upcoming talks of the G7. Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) said that the hostility between these two countries is a central concern. The pressure is growing to move Iran to stop the attacks on Israel and at the same time prevent military nuclear upgrade, as ZDF today.

Germany has historically positioned itself as a loyal allied Israel and views the security of the country as a state rush. This relationship is firmly interwoven with German responsibility due to the Holocaust. Merz promises not only to support Israel diplomatically, but also to stand by practical means such as fire extinguishers, while the Israeli strikes are continued on Iranian goals. The use of nuclear weapons seems to be in the air, since Israel does everything possible to prevent Iran from developing an atomic bomb, which leads to a dangerous game with fire.

nuclear threat in focus

Iran has continued to move towards nuclear armament, which led to military reactions of Israel in 2025 alone. Merz has emphasized that the political situation in Tehran and the development of nuclear weapons are inextricably linked. The leaders of both countries seem radical and militarist, which significantly increases the risk of further escalations.

Germany's moral responsibility should not only aim to ensure Israel's security, but also to protect humanity as a whole. Finally, the use of nuclear weapons is associated with unpredictable consequences that could endanger the global balance, as trt notes. The possible consequences of an atomic weapon use include massive radioactive radiation, refugee movements and destabilizing effects throughout the Middle East.

A call for de -escalation

Europe and Germany in particular are increasingly being asked to become more active and to take steps to de -escalation of the current situation. The calls after international control over the Iranian and the Israeli nuclear program are getting louder. Critics accuse the EU to stand by and ignore the risks of this dangerous policy. In this uncertain time it becomes clear that the path to a safer world does not offer any easier solutions, but requires gradual persuasion and discussions, according to Oliver Meier from the Science and Politics Foundation, as Germany Funk reports.

remains to be seen how international actors will react. One thing is certain: the world looks at Cologne with a tense expectation, where those responsible will put a lot to the test in June 2025.
