Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei has said that the country has “no ‘military’ nuclear programme — no matter how often the Israeli fabricated ‘big lie’ is repeated by Israeli apologists”.
In a post on X, he criticised the German chancellor’s statement on the war in Iran and its nuclear programme as a “knowingly distorted narrative”.
“It was USrael (United States and Israel) — not Iran — that launched a war of aggression, and Germany failed to show even the minimum moral courage required to deplore that.
“Those Berlin labels ‘proxies’ are independent actors with their own clear causes and calculations. They are fighting for self-determination, freedom, and dignity against occupation, aggression and subjugation.
“Our region should not have to pay the price for Germany’s guilt complex or its habit of appeasement vis-a-vis bullies,” he said.
