Berlin, Mar 02 (V7N) — Germany has hinted at the possibility of joining the ongoing US and Israeli military campaign against Iran if Tehran’s attacks on neighboring countries continue.

According to sources cited by Israeli Army Radio, German political and military officials are considering providing air support and participating in potential airstrikes. Officials in the German Foreign Ministry and members of the Foreign Affairs Committee confirmed that preliminary planning for coordinated military action with the US is underway.

Meanwhile, Germany, France, and the United States issued a joint statement on March 1 condemning Iran’s attacks across the Middle East. The statement warned that the countries are prepared to take “defensive measures” to protect their interests and those of allies in the Gulf region.

Analysts say Germany’s involvement would mark a significant escalation in the international dimension of the conflict.
