BERLIN, March 24 (Xinhua) — German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Tuesday described the US and Israeli military strikes on Iran as a "violation of international law" and a "politically fatal mistake."
Speaking at an event marking the 75th anniversary of the re-establishment of the German Federal Foreign Office, Frank-Walter Steinmeier said the war was "avoidable and unnecessary" if its goal was to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
According to the German President, international law remains "the normative framework, the rulebook, and the source of legitimacy" for both Germany and Europe. "This Europe would be lost in a world without laws and rules, because the European Union itself is built on them," he emphasized.
F.W. Steinmeier pointed to the deep rift that has opened in transatlantic relations since the start of US President Donald Trump's second term, calling on Germany and its European partners to reduce "dependencies that make us vulnerable," particularly in areas such as security and technology.
